POKEY LaFARGE “Rock Bottom Rhapsody” CD

★With Japanese commentary

The latest studio album from Poky LaFarge, who revives traditional American roots music such as early jazz, gypsy swing, and country blues for the modern era!

The producer is Chris Seefried, who also works with Lana Del Rey, and the album is a true Americana crossover of good old style and modern sound!

Since his first album "Marmalade" released in 2006, Pokey LaFarge has consistently expressed American roots music such as early jazz, gypsy swing, country blues, and ragtime as the music of the present. Following his previous album "Manic Revelations" released in 2017 from Concord/Rounder Records, he has moved to New West Records, which has released Dwight Yoakam, Rickie Lee Jones, Delbert McClinton, and others, and this work is an Americana that is fitting for the start of the 2020s, where he has further evolved while maintaining his consistent style! The producer is Chris Seefried, a top producer in the current US scene who has worked with Lana Del Rey, The Kooks, Joseph Arthur, etc. The horn section heard in the previous work was intentionally removed, and Pokey's desire to bring out the vocals and lyrics and his singing spirit can be felt. In addition, the exquisite swing and jump blues M4 "Bluebird" samples Joe Lutcher and His Orchestra's "Ojai", and the work is a work that conveys respect for American roots music. The musicians are Joel Patterson (Guitar), Scott Ligon (Keyboard), Jimmy Sutton (Bass), and other talented Chicago musicians. In the US, a national tour has already been organized to coincide with the release of this work, and there are calls for a world tour from Europe and Oceania, so this work is sure to attract fans all over the world!
