Fusing the rustic sounds of the past with his own wry humor and roots music sensibilities, singer/songwriter Pokey LaFarge makes music influenced by old-time country, blues, folk, and Western swing. A wide-ranging troubadour since the mid-2000s, LaFarge gained greater recognition in 2012 touring with Jack White, whose Third Man label issued 2013's Pokey LaFarge. This recognition paved the way for 2015's Jimmy Sutton-produced Something in the Water, which peaked in the Top 30 of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. 2020's Rock Bottom Rhapsody was a boldly eclectic collection that fused strong contemporary influences with LaFarge's retro sound, a maturation he further showcased that year with In the Blossom of Their Shade.
