Middle of Everywhere

Middle of Everywhere

Channeling American roots, country blues, and jazz traditions of the early 20th century, Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three s newest recording is surely a most inspired 21st -century creation. Middle of Everywhere represents the latest addition to a growing eminence in contemporary American roots music, and LaFarge is definitely paving the way. He and his crew do not just pay homage to their artistic forbears here they commandeer their legacies and create something new and with Midwestern country blues mashed with Western swing, sweet harmony vocals, and hints of New Orleans style horns and lap steel throughout, the title Middle of Everywhere is particularly fitting. LaFarge s honest, approachable songwriting chops shine through on such tracks as Head to Toe, and Ain t the Same, with The South City Three all the while providing an impeccable up-tempo driving rhythm. LaFarge has always had the grace, charm, and flair of the musicians of long ago, but Middle of Everywhere shows just how much of a musical force he is, and how much command he possesses as he steps out with accordant confidence.
