Stumbling around youtube this am and found this and am thoroughly delighted that there still are pockets of younger folk reviving old classics and styles of music. Bravo. Well done. Exceptional.
They are great. I saw them in Memphis. I fell in love with the clarinet player, which might be a bit scary as I am 77 years old. The made this old man happy. I even had my picture taken with Pokey.
@@Mr_Monkey_McNugget Sorry but I've been in a blues band playing harp for many years and I totally disagree with you. OK he's not flying up and down the instrument to show off his skills but he is playing exactly what the song requires and that's the key to real musicianship
@@SoulandSurvival I've been playing 24 years. Started playing professionally when I was 18. A player doesn't have to be Little Walter, or Howard Levy. But I dislike the low standards harmonica players are held to. If he had that proficiency as a bass player he wouldn't be in the band.
Old time American root music, country, blues and jazz influenced sounds. Fan bloody tastic. And the band is so tight. When Pokey plays you know you will have fun.
I am just totally absorbed into each and every performer's talents. I hope this band of talent stays together and plays together through-out my lifetime! Rock-On!
Song originally recorded by Milton Brown and the Brownies back in the 1930s. It's origin is lost in History. There are several other variant versions out there with different verses, some quite salacious. Pokey is a great interpreter and solid writer,in the traditional vein with updated themes. He's carrying on a great tradition, hipping those who will listen to the great variety of American music. This was a great to see and hear!
Garbage Man.Heard this on a TV advert in the U.K last week. Finally tracked down the version I wanted and it's Pokey for me. What a toe tapper this is.
They take your breath away! Incredible musicianship. Great band ... great personality and great renditions! I'm Larry from Pocatello Idaho ...aka "Poky". Therefore I a great affinity for "Pokey LaFarge" for sure. They even have a great name! Maybe they ought to get out of the mid west and let us see "Pokey LaFarge in Poky" sometime soon!! Really!
Does anyone think these various types of " Americana " -style music will ever see a resurgence of popularity on Our continent .....? Enough to make it , once again , common on radio and tv.... ?

That was just plain fun. There's a lot of talent up there. Very tight band.
Every morning, Pokey and friends get me up and going. This is what it's all about. This is the joy of music. Thank you.

And what a bass player!
Hello from the future
Chloe's clarinet work is phenomenal! Her and TJ were great additions to the act.
fancypantsdancer agreeeeed
they are all amazing
Oh to be gifted like these musicians!!! Oh the gift they give!
This guy is awesome. Great band. Some of the best roots music today.
Everyone in this band is AWESOME!!! What a show!
Do you get a sense this band eats and breathes music 24/7? I sure do. They truly have a love for song.
After you listen to it some times, like everyone here did for sure, you start to see how Pokey is directing all with eyes and calls.
The whole band is awesome and Chloe sure is easy on the eyes.
That's for sure!
She is so cute, in addition to being incredibly talented ❤ love the part where she was doing a little dance to the music
So much talent on one stage. I haven't found any group as good as Pokey & crew for many many years. My thanks to you all!!!!
I am just totally absorbed into each and every performer's talents. I hope this band of talent stays together and plays together through-out my lifetime! Rock-On!

I have a few recordings of this tune. Give a listen to two recordings Of The New Call of the Freaks. Definitely related to The Garbage Man Blues. 😊🎶
Man this band is TOGETHER. I think, in the business, they say they are TIGHT.
It is a pleasure to watch this musicians how they play together.
And not only to see to listening as well. ;-)
Very nice.
This is such a rare song to hear these days. I love it. Champion jack Dupree would be proud.
Garbage Man.Heard this on a TV advert in the U.K last week. Finally tracked down the version I wanted and it's Pokey for me. What a toe tapper this is.
Even the band members were enjoying the moment, Fantastic artists all of them
These performers are such fun and appear to be great musicians
One of classic Pokey videos. Still looks fresh after playing it about a dozen times!
Seriously, anybody who doesn't tap his feet or smile or want to kiss Chloe is long gone dead.
all 3; chloe no. 1
Nope.... 😁 I prefer kissing the guitarist..... Ooops..... How old is he today? 40?....
🤣 🤣 🤣
Great musicians!!!
Thank you NPR (hear and now) for introducing me to them!

Such a great band, each one a fabulous musician, and all playing so well together, brings such joy to hear them play and sing.

Hope I can see them in San Francisco when they come to town. Just amazing musicians and absolutely faithful to the tradition of 20's and 30's Jazz!!
Clarinet sweet touch, fantastic all.
I’m in love with a clarinetist from 6 year old RUclips videos. Girl’s got serious chops too.
Chloe
They play music soooo good. And the little girl they've picked up is mighty fine=)
