Episode 19 – Pokey LaFarge: Jack's No Trouble Troubador

This week the Third Men Podcast spotlights another key figure in the Third Man Records family: singer, songwriter, midwestern crooner and friend of Jack White, Mr. Pokey LaFarge.Though some would call Pokey’s old-timey charms a bit of a throwback to depression-era Americana, we detail the complexities of a music that not only stands on its own two legs, but draws many striking comparisons to the style and approach of Jack White himself. From the forever-catchy “Central Time”, to unforgettable performances at the Ryman and Radio City, Pokey Lafarge has carved out his own path in the modern music industry in a masterful way.PLUS: We welcome to the show for the very first time our amazing Third Woman Kali Durga, who stops by to share insight on Pokey’s music and fact-check the Third Men in central time. I wouldn’t disagree with that statement! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
