    My girl and I saw Pokey and the boys at a music festival in town. You could tell from the expression on people's faces that they had no clue what to expect....I elbowed my girl lightly and said "watch their faces when the band starts" as expected 2 Pokey fans entered that tent and 502 Pokey fans exited that tent.....

    He's such a sweet guy to be around. I was really scared the day before yesterday when I met him to get a picture, and he just held out a hand and said "come right between us, darlin' ". Ryan (the harmonica player) just put his arm on my shoulder, and Pokey put his arm around my waist,and we got a great picture. Ryan seemed happy to see me, since he had been making silly faces at me for two hours the previous day. Over all, their my heroes in music.

    Whoever said its basically the same melody and chord progression as Blind Willie McTell's "Oh Lord Please Send Me Angel" with a few minor changes has it about right. But by those rules, Led Zeppelin never wrote an original song either. Good stuff.

      He references it in the first line of the song ! “I know that you’ve heard this one before ....” the thing is he flipped it into a break up song instead of asking for an angel. “ but you ain’t heard it as you was walking out the door”

      @ABevs 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've heard a hundred bands that sound very similar. I'm not saying they're bad but I wouldn't say they're that unique. People have been playing this kind of music for a long time.

    • @RobertJStewart10
      @RobertJStewart10 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely not true. These guys are unique, because they're current. I agree that this sort of americana sound has been around forever, but few artists are still keeping it relevant. These guys are a gem in a sea of mainstream EDM music, and I cherish them for that.

    • @ABevs
      @ABevs 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You've got to be kidding. Where have you been the last decade? Americana roots music exploded after O Brother and now pop folk music like the Avetts and Mumford even play at the Grammys. Sorry but you can find a band like this in hundreds of bars and other venues across the country. Maybe it's unique to you but not to the rest of the music scene.

    • @RobertJStewart10
      @RobertJStewart10 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're not seriously comparing this act to the Avett Brothers or Mumford and Sons.. Sure, it's all similar in the sense that it is "folk" music, but that term encompasses so many different sub-genres. These guys are experimenting with ragtime and western swing, whereas someone like the Avett Brothers are more alt-country/neo-folk. Besides, I wasn't arguing that Pokey was a one of a kind artist. I was simply stating that they have a distinct sound, which is always recognizable when I hear them.

    • @ABevs
      @ABevs 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not saying they're exactly alike but you admit that they're similar and fall into the same genre. I am well aware of the many varieties of folk music. But like I said, even this specific sub genre of folk is not all that rare or unique. And if you're saying that they're recognizable then that's fine but I honestly don't care too much if a band is recognizable. A lot of bands are recognizable. And not always in a good way. But whatever. This is pretty much a pointless discussion. Later.
