BY BRETT DWORSKI
What do you get when you merge Jimmie Rodgers’s timeless vocals and the riffs of ragtime blues with a modernized melody and a slicked-back pompadour? Welcome to the new age Western sound and persona of Pokey LaFarge. Originally a solo act of Illinois native and frontman Andrew Heissler and now the crucial identity of his 6-piece band, Pokey LaFarge delivers reflective lyrics while reviving the American roots genre. The single “Better Man Than Me” from their upcoming album Manic Revelations will time warp you back to your first heartbreak, as the band proclaims “I guess I should have known right from the start / Takes a better man than me to win your heart.”
