Pokey LaFarge
‘Something In The Water’ proves that the music and roots of the last American century are as relevant today as they were when Guthrie rode the rails and Chicago Blues, Western Swing and Ragtime were the only soundtrack oiling the gears of the nation’s radio stations. Performed with conviction, full of great songs, it has truth running through it like a paddle-steamer winding down the Mississippi.
Pokey LaFarge will release his new album ‘Something in the Water’ via Rounder Records on April 7th. Watch his new video for the title track and lead single. He told NPR that inspiration for the song came from a “band member’s girlfriend, who at one point literally had an El Camino in her front yard up on blocks.”
