Pokey LaFarge returns today with the tub-thumping new single, “Rent Money,” available everywhere now via his own Boxer Boy Records. An official music video – directed by Jacob Butler (LA LOM, Paul Cauthen) – premieres today on YouTube.
Despite its buoyant bounce and exuberant spirit, “Rent Money” sees LaFarge explore how hard work in hard times doesn’t always pay the bills, both in practical and spiritual terms. “Rent Money” marks the first single and title track from LaFarge’s eagerly awaited new album, Rent Money, arriving everywhere on Friday, September 11. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now.
“‘Rent Money’ is a little bit more of a tougher tune,” says Pokey LaFarge, “but it’s not going to totally bum you out. It’s just a classic country blues song. The good lord giveth and Uncle Sam taketh away.
