In this way, it is soaked in the rhythms of swing, Appalachian folk, bluegrass, Dixieland jazz or country-blues. Music from roots, which meets Bill Monroe, Jimmie Rogers, Willie Dixon, Doc Watson, Skip James and the street orchestras of New Orleans, presented with class and a great dose of love for those times in which he plunges, as demonstrated in previous albums such as Marmalade or Beat, Move & Shake.Produced by Jimmy Sutton (best known for his work with JD McPherson) this “Something in the Water” marks a new milestone in Pokey's career. The album includes a dozen songs that he plays with a lot of contributors like NRBQ, the Fat Babies, the Modern Sounds, and the Western Elstons. Review: Pokey Sings and Swings - Pokey La Farge is no longer a niche artist, but one dragging the mainstream closer to his peculiar brand of American roots music. There are changes here, not all of them positive, but Something In The Water does not let down the side. Improvements - Pokey is the star here, as in Central Time, with his voice front and centre. This is his best recorded singing. There is more attention to production, arrangements and background singing, even than the superb Central Time.The musicianship is great, but by no means showy and overbearing. The songs are bright and breezy, and there are no real duds. Less good is the song quality - it is not up to the standard set in Central Time, nor is it as good as in his debut album. The standouts this time are the drum boogie 'Underground', the adored ballad 'Cairo Illinois' (also on a very early effort) the strange 'Goodbye Barcelona'. My favourites are the title track and 'The Spark', which is like a 1950's track, very commercial and thus, very unusual for Pokey. Not only is the album 'old timey' but so are the male/female sentiments, which play the angel/ devil game too often to be an accident. 'Bad Girl' and 'When Did You Leave Heaven' are just two of at least four examples of this. But this record will sound great live, and that's where the money is. Pokey is very assured live these days, and with his expanded band, these tracks should sound spectacular. If you have not seen him live, you're missing something. Probably 4.5*, but desertcart is not that subtle. Review: amazing - recently discovered Pokey... currently working my way through his back catalog. This is a recent enough album, and it is just superb. Country mixed with blues with a bit of soul and gospel ... and that voice. Between him and Orville Peck, I am listening to either one or other of their records. Love it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00SSL4ERS | | Best Sellers Rank | 67,131 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 53 in Contemporary Blues | | Country of origin | Austria | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (394) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Label | Rounder Records | | Manufacturer | Rounder Records | | Manufacturer reference | CDROU3691 | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 14.1 x 12.5 x 1.19 cm; 92.13 g | ## Images ![Something In The Water - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HHoeC7IHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pokey Sings and Swings *by T***R on 26 May 2015* Pokey La Farge is no longer a niche artist, but one dragging the mainstream closer to his peculiar brand of American roots music.

This is a recent enough album, and it is just superb. Country mixed with blues with a bit of soul and gospel ... and that voice. Between him and Orville Peck, I am listening to either one or other of their records. Love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ill have what Pokeys having *by D***3 on 29 May 2015* Not sure how your other reviewer can give this album 5 stars and then say it's not as good as Pokey's previous efforts, but they are right in proclaiming that these songs will work well as part of Pokey's live set. Pokey and his band are extraordinary live. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a weak song on this record (unless old time music doesn't float your boat) but I also think it shows the worth of expanding his band although some will claim change is good. I think its extraordinary good record but with some surprises. ## Frequently Bought Together - Something In The Water - Rock Bottom Rhapsody --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50213663-something-in-the-water](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50213663-something-in-the-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
