New songs came quickly to LaFarge in his new environment, but new temptations soon found him, as well. Though he declines to get into specifics, LaFarge admits that he experienced a significant “fall from grace” during the last months of 2018. “Things sort of started to unravel in my mind.” Shortly before the recording of Rock Bottom Rhapsody began, LaFarge experienced a spiritual awakening – and the faith he re-embraced in his hour of darkness helped to buoy him through the making of the album. Though he was struggling for spiritual equilibrium at the time, LaFarge at least had some rock-solid musical support to lean on. Recorded primarily at Reliable Recorders on Chicago’s Northwest side, Rock Bottom Rhapsody was produced by LaFarge’s friend and collaborator Chris Seefried (who also co-wrote several of the album’s tracks), and features the considerable talents of guitarist Joel Paterson, keyboardist Scott Ligon, upright/electric bassist Jimmy Sutton, and drummer Alex Hall. Musically, LaFarge continues to mix and match a wide variety of styles and traditions, while never losing track of his own vision: “This record is kind of like Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan hanging out with chanson singers and French jazz bands in like the forties, but I was never trying to make it sound like a particular person.” Despite the trying period that preceded its recording, Rock Bottom Rhapsody is ultimately far more uplifting and life-affirming than its title would suggest. “That desperation, that struggle,” LaFarge ponders, “Did it add something to the record? It certainly did. I mean, I don’t know if it made it better; it just is what it is. It’s not up to me to decide if people are going to feel that…” Artist Pokey LaFarge Genre Jazz Label New West Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Rock Bottom Rhapsody End Of My Rope Fuck Me Up Bluebird Rock Bottom Reprise Lucky Sometimes Carry On Just The Same Fallen Angel Storm-A-Comin' Ain't Comin' Home Lost In The Crowd Rock Bottom Finale Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Pokey LaFarge View Product Quick View Pokey LaFarge Rhumba Country Jazz | New West | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Signed Released 10th May 2024 £22.00 - £25.00 Select options Pokey LaFarge Rhumba Country £22.00 - £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: New West Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Signed Released Date: 10th May 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Pokey LaFarge In The Blossom Of Their Shade Jazz | New West | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th June 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pokey LaFarge In The Blossom Of Their Shade £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: New West SKU: LPNW5593LEC Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pokey LaFarge In The Blossom of Their Shade Rock And Pop | New West | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released 10th September 2021 £19.00 Select options Pokey LaFarge In The Blossom of Their Shade £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: New West Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Pokey LaFarge Rock Bottom Rhapsody Jazz | New West | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th April 2020 £16.00 Select options Pokey LaFarge Rock Bottom Rhapsody £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: New West Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th April 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Pokey LaFarge Manic Revalations Jazz | Concord | 1LP Released 19th May 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pokey LaFarge Manic Revalations £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: 7202431 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pokey LaFarge Something In The Water Blues | Rounder | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 25th May 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pokey LaFarge Something In The Water £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Rounder SKU: 7237081 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Pokey LaFarge Start again More from Jazz View Product Quick View Teddy Edwards and Howard McGhee Together Again!!!!
