"The man singing these songs isn't exactly the same man who wrote them," says Pokey LaFarge of Rock Bottom Rhapsody, his eighth and latest studio release. "This album is about the story of who I used to be." In early 2018, LaFarge -- searching for the sort of artistic freedom and inspiration he wasn't finding in the Midwest -- relocated from his longtime home base of St. Louis, Missouri, to Los Angeles, California. 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.
