No synths, no auto tune. Just talent, and it's refreshing. We need more of this.
Yuuuuuup u know
How come I have only just found Pokey LaFarge? hE IS AWESOME
Terry West , better late than never Terry!
Same here...I just saw something about him an hour ago
No matter when you find Pokey, Pokey is a precious find!
I missed the boat too. I love this,,, gives me happy feet bigtime
i found him yesterday...i hooked!
I can’t get enough of this. A masterpiece of fun.
Wait till the whiskey n Cocain kicks in you'll be in for a ride of a lifetime
I get the biggest kick out of these guys! This is like a breath of fresh air. Am I alone, or is this effort far and away beyond the rock and roll of today? Just very good musicians playing their hearts out, without effects or auto tune, or any other gimmicks. Just laying their effort on the line for all to see. I wish that I could have see Pokey with this combo live.
I especially appreciate the clarinet and trumpet players, because I played trumpet and picked up on my brother's clarinet pretty quick. I have a feeling that Chloe won first chair as a freshmen and was probably never challenged again, until she got to college.
Just when you thought today's music was Total Garbage this Gem comes out and Re-News Bands Making THEIR OWN MUSIC THEIR OWN WAY!
Loving the 1930's Vibe to this! Retro and yet so New we need this in the 2020s!
9999

@@chrisrat2720 all the money in the world can't pay for such moments you are listening to good music, singing, having fun, and forgetting all the evil around you ♥️
Haven’t heard anything like this since the early nineteen hundreds, it’s nice it’s coming back around again...
youre a very old man !!!!!!!
Check out an Aussie guy named CW Stoneking
o.k. old timer, what, you about 118??? lol Take your Geritol, soak in some epsom salts, and Pokey out some more.
I assumed he's a vampire.
Try Squirrel Nut Zippers. You won't be disappointed.
I think he got caught up in timetravel experiment and got sent forward to the future, and then figured out people in the future really like vintage style music. Really cool stuff.
I AM TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THIS BLOODY SONG ,IT HAUNTS ME ,MORNING NOON AND NIGHT .I AM SINGING IT IN MY HEAD WHEN I AM DOING MY CLEANING JOB IN THE AM , TO DRIVING MY CAR LOLL IT JUST MAKES ME FEEEEEEL SOOOO GOOOD :)
I can relate.Just love to see this band and singer when covid is over[let's hope it gets to that point].
Something in the water perhaps 😉👍🏼
@@jell-oputin8036 i THINK YOU ARE RIGHT , HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU :)
You have been Pokey’d!! Welcome!
@@jell-oputin8036 you beat me to it!lol
Now why can’t ppl who play REAL HARD WORK MUSIC like this, music that pulls ppl together, make the top 10?,!
if they wanted to sell their souls....I expect they could...
Because it’s not hip hop.
A song named WAP and a bunch of mumbling,cussing BS is what most of the kids are into today and we only have ourselves to blame for it. Not disparaging anyone,that’s just the way it is.
How could ANYONE not like this?????this is as much fun as you can have with your clothes on!!!
Look for Pokey in the netflix film the devil all the time ...
Generally...I am not a big fan of audience participation sing alongs,but this is pulled off with such enthusiasm,and fun and the audience does a great job of maintaining the energy of this song!!!
Brilliant
He actually failed until "lets try something different". Fantastic recovery
You do realize that 99.99% of human history with music is audience participation, right? That stage vs audience construct is only a very recent artifact of professionalization introduced by recorded music.
No sampling, no autotune here. Just excellent musicianship.
This young man MOVES ME ! My leg is still SKAKIN.
Tese guys are REAL musicians! you can see the work they put in.
Work, love and passion. Born to do this!
I love this authentic handmade music... no electronics for sound and harmonies... made by hand, lungs and mouth!!!
That's so great... today the most is gone ... so sad!!!
As a St. Louis musician, I can confirm this is the sound of STL City, period.
Really does remind me of leaving a Cards game and all the street musicians playing.
To anyone just finding this, These guys are amazing live. Such a fun show
Holy f-word!😳❤👏🏼👍🏼
I am now an instant fan!
Dear Lawd! Like a time warp! Add some scratchy record sounds and you’d think it was 1930!
Why is it I never heard of this Band before? They should have been more popular.
Damn! I love this band! So down home and real.
Nothin' like good ol' Suthun jazz blues 🎶🥰👍
Oh boy, this fellow makes people love music. This means a lot.
ugh like, WHERE HAS HE BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! he deserves wayyyyyy way more subscribers!
@@dowright5645 no kidding!
The best rep St Louis could ask for
Too bad he's a Cubs fan😒
Saw him play Saturday Dec. 29th at Off Broadway. A great time! To think me and my wife heard this for the 1st time 4 weeks earlier to then drive 4 hours 4 weeks later to check this out is awesome is understated.
The 30's look like a wild crazy fun time
Think my late parents would have enjoyed hearing them.
Absolutely outstanding music! Goose Bumps! Time machine to a charming upbeat, good times musical era. Pokey has the most amazing natural vibrato in his voice! I LOVE THIS!
"Let's raise our beers in the air and give a cheer for Bill Streeter and the whole crew!" Amen to that! Great video.
This young man is the real deal. Nobody makes music like this today. Well done Pokey and friends!
Check out those cool cats from Oxnard California Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I went to high school with some of them.
The best live music video on TH-cam !
I love it !!!❤
Greetings from Hamburg ,Germany
Greetings my friend.
Just heard him last night after listening to reverend peytons big dam band.....both amazing artitst !!!
What a lucky....lucky....lucky crowd. Masters of their craft these musicians.
Bill Piel!! You are the man!! Miss hanging out with you
The world right now needs more Pokey live audiece good time cold beer participation sing alongs
I found pokey a couple years back...love his stuff...this recording is probably My favorite.
One of Missouri's proudest sons No Doubt
I heard one song that I wasn't particularly keen on, a few years back, so completely discarded him (STUPIDLY!). I'm diggin' his music, especially this one so far!!!
I'm so excited. Me and my wife will see them tomorrow night at 8pm.
These cats are sooooo much fun to see and hear. Better than coffee to get me going in the morning.
Great musicians, that bass player knows his way round that bass!
This man is a living legend!
Great musicians. And I wish all dudes would dress like this 😊
I would pay to see this band!!! 🌞🌝
Love the bass line.
So fun! Enjoy this!!!
Yeah OK this is the BEST Pokey I've seen yet.Ya just gotta love these folks!
Excellent version Jimmy Reed!
Respect to all
Hell of a lot of talent and a big voice for a little guy. Seriously underplayed.
Glad to see good music with live instruments. No autoplay or electronic beats here! Putting Pokey on my playlist today.
OUTSTANDING !!!👋
AWSOME!!!!!!
Keep on boogie boys So CLASSIC
Pokey Delivers AGAIN!!
Awesome sound Brothas and Sistas!!
You may calf it "Lo-Fi" but that group of musicians has a high level of musical fidelity! Thank you for the music and video.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Kessler!
What a fun number. How am I only just now hearing this.....I have no idea.
I would LOVE to get an MP3 of this version, this is one of my favorite songs.
How fun ! Good music !
my life's dream is to be in a Pokey video before or soon after I depart.
Je les adores ❤
Pokey could make a cadaver shake. He could make Freud dismiss his mother. He could make fried chicken fly and fried flies chicken because his ferocious talent is scary. I only found him a year or so ago, but I love most everything he does. Pokey is poketastic!
0:42, you're there, in a video, knowing what's going on, for four minutes, and still can't stop talking to your pal. Jeepers.
I just watched this cat on a Hec documentary and came here. This is good stuff.
How the HECK have I not seen this before??? These guys are awesome
Hoping to see him in Eureka Springs Arkansas on Nov 12 (2022). Anyone else planning on being there?
I hate the time change in the spring, im always catchin up
the best
All talent
My man doing the guitar solo sounds SOOO much like Django Reinhardt!!! Amazing!
Pokey is playing a FREE concert in Muncie, Indiana Sept. 3rd!!! Hope to see you all there!
wish i could be there!
So I'm guessing you're more than a couple hours away? A year ago at this same venue I finally got to see Junior Brown play live and FREE. Pretty amazing stuff for Muncie, Indiana!
IDFK303 yes- texas!
Pokey you preach to this north Florida boy
Pokey, if you see this: Please tell me you are doing what you love and this is your best life. Make me believe the dream is real.
My favorite PF video, so far. Bunch of very fine musicians. Not one slouch in the bunch.
Not sure exactly which old bluesman's ghost is manifesting itself here,but DAMN ! ;)
I think it's Leadbelly!
It too going back 100yrs to get in touch with real music and it's fuckin brilliant.
This music just makes you feel good!!!!
love
Much love from Mississippi♡
Awsome pokey!
I want to see this guy live !!!

Found this on Dave's Basement Tracks, always wanted Pokey to play the fest.
I do seriously love Pokey
Pokey's vibrato is amazing.
Late to the party! Discovered him this month....Love the old and new. This guy is right!
Tomorrow night in Fall River Massachusetts. Can't wait.

OOOhhh! The mood they brought! What a great find!!!
I love it. Perfectly proud of their heritage.
These guys are sooooo good.
Formidable 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love this group! A bunch of talented musicians obviously having fun playing great music! Having seen interviews, Pokey Lafarge is serious about his American music history. Altogether a great musical experience! (Edit: spelling)
I am glad I stumbled on to Pokey LaFarge. Dang he is great!! Love the sound.
This is fantastic listen boys and girls this is real music
Pokey for President!
Great music and vocals and for some reason I have a craving for shrimp gumbo.🤔 EDIT: what I love about this is there are kids being exposed to this music and having fun listing to him and his band, you never know what the rain might bring. Plus the clarinet "singer" is beautiful.
Ms Chloe Feoranzo is her name and she is stop me in my tracks Beautiful.
@@thomasholland3289 Thanks man, appreciate it.🍺
Just formidable .
Man, that's one rowdy audience. Fantastic video! Great music!
