In the Blossom Of Their Shade, 2021
Written by Pokey LaFarge
LaFarge is an interesting character. His musical style is blend of, and influenced by, neo-swing, Americana, swing, jazz, ragtime, and Appalachian folk — that "old, weird America," as Greil Marcus put it. Over boogie-woogie piano, walking bass, and handclaps percussion, LaFarge talk-sings in a nasal croon about someone in his life who is "the rock I cling to when there's a riptide in the sea," and "just like superglue." It's a slinky, rocking, strut of a song that makes you want to get up and dance. It feels fresh and new but with a familiar, old-timey feel.
