• This is the vinyl pressing of ‘Middle Of Everywhere’, the second album by Pokey LaFarge & the South City Three - and if you hadn’t encountered their music before then one look at the cover should indicate that musically you’ll be taken back in time, to the sepia-toned days of the ‘20s and ‘30s.

• As with his previous album, there is a fine mix of acoustic blues, early jazz, hillbilly folk, western swing and assorted Americana styles - but these are not covers of well-worn classics or even obscure gems. Mr LaFarge gives you 13 newly composed numbers, heavily influenced by those dusty decades.

• He’s backed by the excellent South City Three : Joey Glynn, upright bass; Adam Hoskins, guitar, guitjo, lap steel; and Ryan Koenig, Harmonica, washboard, drums. With Pokey himself on guitar, guitjo and tenor banjo.

• He does it with the perfect mixture of swing, humour, authenticity, and a love of his influences - much in the footsteps of Leon Redbone and Robert Crumb, but also Ry Cooder and Dan Hicks.
