Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three "Claude Jones" and "Drinkin' Whiskey Tonight"

If youve followed me on any of the social media networks I participate in youve no doubt been aware that I am a big advocate of Pokey LaFarge. Im not getting compensated for it, though it might seem like it. I just see him as this musician that is exceptionally talented and rare, who has a unique sound thats willing to work hard to get somewhere in this world. Hes on almost a non-stop tour schedule now with his band, The South City Three. I wont go into detail describing his sound you can hear it for yourself in the video, but I have gotten to know Pokey personally and I can tell you that his slight frame is packed with southern charm, the relentless drive of a wallstreet tycoon, the mischevious spirit of every class clown youve ever known, and, what seems like, one very old soul.
