Pokey LaFarge is an entity unlike any other in music right now. He's bringing back an American tradition of real artists getting down with real life lyrics and the instruments that were favored in the before times(harmonicas, fiddles, washboards). It's a spectacular blast of summertime ol timey fun for your brain. It's audible sunshine. Pokey is an unbelievable character who never breaks or even bends. His execution is flawless and timeless. Do your soul a favor and buy this now. Don't wait, don't hesitate. Put Pokey in your player and your life. You won't regret it. Live a lil!!!
What's great about it: It's Brilliant!!!
What's not so great: It's the only artist the Dos Equis guy listens to!!!!
The Moondoggies are one of the best bands going. You may or may not have heard of them but you should have at this point. They are one of the most genuine folk/rock/balladeers in the land Kevin Murphy's song writing is epic/simple/brilliant and encompasses the human soul with a certain humanistic vibe you can get nowhere else. These dudes are super cool and humble to the moon. Help out real music and buy this album and their previous masterpiece Don't be a Stranger. I'll bought 3 vinyls of this album just to support the cause and have a few backups.
