Pokey Lafarge - Baby's Coming To Town
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2013
- Pokey Lafarge recorded this song at Pinball Sessions Studio in July of 2013 when the band were in town for Hillside Festival.
Singer/Songwriter and bandleader Pokey Lafarge has been on the road, all over the world, for quite some time. Pokey and his band, The South City Three (which had actually grown to five with the addition of a horn section) graced us with 3 tracks on their visit to the studio when they were in Guelph for The Hillside Festival.
The first track they recorded, A Good Man is Hard To Find spotlights the rich instrumental prowess of Pokey and The South City Three; Joey Glynn, Adam Hoskins, Ryan Koenig, and shines a spotlight on the newly added horn section as well.
Pokey and the band have an infectious admiration and pride for their hometown, St. Louis, MO. It’s no wonder then that the next song they shared with us is St. Louis Crawl,a song that was released on the self titled album on Third Man Records earlier this year. This song also appears as the B-side on a 7″ vinyl featuring Central Time also released on Jack White’s label. The album (highly recommended) was co-produced by Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show and features rich arrangements of some of Pokey’s finest songwriting.
Just like Pokey and the band feel genuine pride about their midwestern home they also genuinely love history. While this is evident in their undying respect for the aesthetic and feel of the prohibition era, there is a modernism in what they do as well.
Lastly, we are treated to, What The Rain Will Bring a beautiful and slightly mournful song about resilience and hope in the face of unknowns and adversity, a blues theme. The arrangement mixes gypsy swing, jazz, New Orleans style horns and early american blues; ” Storms coming /mama knows by the pain down in her bones. I’ve stayed inside for too long / waiting for the sun to shine. Tomorrow could mean anything / Oh, you just never know what the rain will bring”

Nobody talking about the clarinet solo? Priceless.
Heck, yeah! She's an outstanding soloist, too!
You are not wrong, mate. She is fantastic! Alphonse Picou would be proud of playing like that!
@@andriesscheper2022 Look again bro!
@@andriesscheper2022 what the heck are you look in at? Did you just not watch the whole thing? Sorry. Starts about 2:20
That's Chloe Feoranzo aka "Chloe Jazz". Everything she plays on is gold. She's on some good Post Modern Jukebox songs as well. Terrific talent.
The clarinet player is adorable!
She's a great singer too.
Memories! I was the guy who filmed this. I stood there, back to a wall, and had my own private Pokey LaFarge performance, and hung out with the band a couple of times that weekend!
Did a great job friend
Bad job man, the guitar guy have a huge mic in front of his face, all the time. 😉
@@icocoiico you got nothing good to say, STFU
@@gabbyhyman1246
Come down, it's a constructive criticism.
@@icocoiico It's not the cameraman's fault
Does my heart good to see young people reviving this music.Real musicianship! No tricks only skill
Damn its good to see that generation still making this music .
That clarinet is banging.
AS an introverted old fogey in my 80's I think Pokey and his group are superb.
The guitarist is terrific and Pokey's voice fits exactly to the music he plays
I always wonder why the clarinetist and (especially) the trumpeter did not stay long with the group.
It was a moment for sure.
It's pretty common for band members to come and go. It's not easy to wrangle a group of people together for a long time, life pulls people different ways. The hardest part of being a band leader is getting people together. Even if you only get to record a song or two or an album before some have to go, it's still worth it.
THAT CLARINET SOLO! Oh my word. Brilliant.
Hello friend, how're you doing today?
Just an old time retired country doctor who stumbled on this group...... Fantastic way to get going in the morning.
Dr Dave in Traverse City, MI
Just a maintenance man who loves this music.Welcome Docs.
*Dr.* *Dave*
_You have a sweet little baby growing out of the back of your head !!!_
Can you help me with my deasyse?
I got a bouncing foot...won't stop
A retired artist from Germany
Dr. Dave, your Traverse City is a gem. Visited with my wife in 2016. Liked it so much, visited again in ‘18. Bang on about Pokey.
As a former clarinet player, that solo made me so happy.
She cooks. I mean, that's Pete Fountain stuff ...
amazing Chloe Feoranzo
Love the way he subtly turns and gives the nod to each sideman to do their 'bit'
Top class musicians one and all. I just love these guys.
Holy Mahoney!!! Just made my Monday feel like Friday!!!
I love how everyone looks like they're playing so effortlessly. It just makes them look even cooler...if that was possible.
It is very easy music to play for anyone with some skills. Wtf.
His cousin Harold I believe.
To What Me Worry.. Yeah, you got a video we can check out? Just asking. I know musicians can play this and plenty that can't.
Oh boy, what a band.....each player perfectly performing their role and the end result is genius
Got this in my 'Favourites'. Play it at least 4 times a day. Buckets of talent. Man! Can't get enough of the band
All of the musicians are fantastic but I'm really liking Pokey's chord work on the Epiphone! He makes it look effortless and as natural as scratching an itch. Love this band!
Loving this big time
Yes, that's the big point. Playing great is wonderful, playing great and making it look effortless is priceless. It should come naturally, and with these people it certainly seems to do!
Feels like Django Reinhardt and Woody Guthrie mixed in a blender - whooooweeeeeiiii ! I am a luvin' this!!!!
With a side of Jimmie Rodgers!
Oh I love Pokey, he's bringing back some great sounding music
The bass player’s got some real chops - and he’s a good bass player too!
Nicole Pinched them from Ray Dorset (Mungo Jerry). 😃
Ray Davidson Ray is in a class all by himself. 🙂
Tee hee
Mutton!
Texas swing with a heapin' helpin' of Louisiana hot sauce on the side. Might want to keep that clarinet player.
She's Chloe Feoranza and she's amazing. Look for her-she's all over RUclips. She a fine singer too.
A bit late for that.
No words can describe how much i love this.
eargasm?

Haven't been so happy since I first heard the Squirrel Nut Zippers years ago! Awesome.
Now that's what I'm talking about
somethin' in the waters my fave,
Still enjoying this in 2022! Love for you to bring more video like this Pokey
Perfection! Shout out to the subtle-just-right percussion and the virtuoso clarinet. Vocalist: nuance and depth. Just fantastic!
My brother introduced me to Pokey Lafarge with ‘Something in the water’ hooked ever since!
Me too, how have I lived this long without it?
My sister’s the one that clued me in
The lead singer looks like he time traveled from 1930. This is so perfect.
He looks like Fred Astaire
Well done...
With a 1935 technology based recording no-one would ever know u guys are here in 2019.
Done proud.
I love it myself. Love that style. 👌😋🤘😎🤘
As always….. spot on!!!! Visited his concerts a few times here in The Netherlands (Groningen) and it was spot on. Thank you Pokey and band. 👍👍👍
That clarinetist is tops. Great stuff.
Cant agree more. WOW that was the shit
She’s pretty
Ophelia Darkling That's the amazing Chloe Feoranzo.
Dude is killing it on the dobro!
Each player is killing it. They must have been flipping cartwheels on the inside, with each new player that answered the ad ...
The clarinet - killing me!
The musicianship in this band is exceedingly above average ...
2 seconds in and I'm already hitting the Like button.
Whoever thumbed down must have a frontal lobotomy, helluva band, great players, all of em, by golly, special in their own way, beautiful!
Truly amazing talent here! We need more of this music on radio and tv instead of the superficial pop stars.
Omg... They finally got the time machine!
Digging the dope dame on the licorice stick!! Fun song!
The sassy lassie with the classy chassis
Chloe Feoranzo. Check her out.
This is why god gave us ears
This is the chillest Drummer I have ever seen XD
Just mooching about RUclips looking for new sounds and landed here. This track is not only brilliantly balanced and cool AF, but reminded me instantly of the old tracks of Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. Foot tapping excellence!!
The lead singer looks like a wanted fella in one of those antique Billy the kid wanted posters! Lol!
Pokey LaFarge, is the writer and singer 👌☺️
You sir, and band, made my day, great talent! Not that I'm old but Benny Goodman, great song! I dated a gal played clarinet, what a tongue she had, but I digress,
Ohhhh YES !!! This is great music. Great musicians all.
Even the licorice stick got two 8's for herself.
They tucked that tiny girl way in the back. She's amazing!
That's the amazing Chloe Feoranzo.
The best feel good music in the past 30 years. Keep up the good work you guys.
Clarinet is kickin!
Music is supposed to be fun! I am a fan of Pokeys Music and I have enjoyed this Genre for many years!
GO POKEY, GO !!!!
Magic……love it………well done…….take care….🇦🇺🇦🇺
This has got all the styles of music I love. It's got it all. These are some top notch musicians. I'm on the hunt for more of this stuff.,
Coolest dude ever
Folks, it doesn't get any better than this.
Oh great, the roaring “20’s “ are making a comeback.
Agreed. And, kind of fitting, that we're 100 years down the line and this stuff is still being played!
Now this is dance music!
These guys are tight and sportin swag.
Every time I hear this song, I love it more and more! Amazing instrumentation mastery. This band is "Tight" and "On Tha Money" and the fact, they filmed it, is just "Eye Candy". Amazing solos by all! Thank You ALL! Love Your Music.
So good
I'd love to play guitar like these guys... the fingers dancing over the frets, all done with a smooth groove and a sly smile.
pokey is a breath of fresh bloody air luv it
To the gentlman playing the dobro... 'that is some mighty fine picking!'
love the whole band....her little dancing is so cute...
Chloe is Always SO into the music! She has great stage presence!!
Yes!
Works really well with the addition of trumpet and clarinet, brilliant sound and so tight.
my thoughts exactly always good but getting better if that is possible.
Real musicians are such a great rarity any more. Thanks for keeping music alive.
Fantastic musicianship. All around.
Brilliant performance! Great music indeed and great musicians!
Chloe Feoranzo is spectacular on woodwind! plus drop dead gorgeous!
It is not possible so much talent, elegance and quality. And yet it is
I am grinning like a fool, this is wonderful, a bit of Bob Wills, Hank Williams, Redbone, and still original. Who knew a clarinet solo could be so damn cool?!
Better than a cup a coffee, now Back to Work -Yeah!!
Still outstanding......
love the beat !!! i am rocking tonight
from lisbon ,,,, great sound, waves of pleasure for my ears and feet... best today discovery in you tube
Chloe is what makes this so special
So much fun!
Gotta love that country swing, baby. This Pokey, he's alright. You bet.
These cats are doin' it to it! What a great gaggle of players!
Well this was friggin AMAZING to stumble upon. Looks like I have some songs to buy.

seriously this is top notch.
Wow...this is just awesome! Makes you want to dance!
Hello friend, how're you doing today?
real music real talent fantastic stuff
POKEY!!!!! As usual. Fine plucking. And to the Band. ZOUNDS!!
This guy is special. Great classic old time American music played perfectly. Love the room, the clothes and the great, effortless musicianship. For those who think it's easy, give it a try. That clarinet solo sounds like Benny Goodman. That's years of playing. Everyone sounds really good.
Can't get enough of this....fabulous.
Yowzer, what a treat. Thanks
I miss this sound from pokey
WOMAD New Zealands hoping you'll come back to town one day soon!! Loved this band :-)

Wow! Thank you Pinball Sessions for posting this and thank you You Tube's feed algorithum for sending me here! Why didn't I know about these guys before?
It's 1932, in 2020! ❤🎶
"We'll all give out, 'til we give in"
Bravo!! Just add a Betty Boop cartoon with the music and you have an evening!!!
Oh Hell yeah!!!
That guitar player is amazing!
Adam Hoskins. He's been with Pokey for years, he is an original South City 3 (Which is still the South City 3 with 5 players.) My fantasy record is Adam and Molly Tuttle playing together
I love this
Very much good old days here!!
great!!!just gotta love this!!!
TIGHT. Tight tight tight tight.
These guys are great. Brings back that old time feel. Love it.
man this is something special........
