    I have seen Larkin Poe many times live, and they always put on a helluva show. This song has actually been part of their live show for many years, just recently put on an album last year. There is a video of them performing it opening for Queen I think about 6 years ago. They have great audience interaction, and are gracious and kind human beings. They are pretty much the whole package, being totally independent for the majority of their existence. Total badasses.

    Larkin Poe is my most favorite band since I discovered it years ago when I could not sleep well and listened night by night to DLF Radio, Germany, a high quality channel. Meanwhile I own all of LP's albums and keep listening to them nearly every day because I am mesmerized by Rebecca's soulful voice and Megan's wonderful lapsteel playing.
    Megan designed this guitar herself and to my taste she is currently the world's best lapsteel player. No wonder that Larkin Poe won a Grammy this year.
    Special thanks to @ GenBoyer who provided me with older Larkin Poe albums which aren't available any more. Furthermore he introduced me to The Warning, a band that I love nearly the same because of their stunning poetry.

    @Ashlenatics - As I told her, the Lovell sisters Megan and Rebecca have a similar musical upbringing as The Warning. Classical piano training, parents that aren't musicians but are lovers of all sorts of music including Rock, and totally supported their daughters in their pursuit of a career of music! Larkin Poe's passion and dedication to their craft is like that of The Warning, and they have been doing it since 2010 as independent artists, created their own record label 2017, 2 Grammy nominations, and just won their first Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album 2024. 4 EPs and 7 albums, many tours of the US, UK and EU, Larkin Poe is hopefully poised to explode on the music scene just like TW! I love both bands as they are committed to different genres' of rock, yet both are so incredibly talented at it! Cheers! Salud! #FeedMyLarkinPoeHunger #APDVillaReality

    Hey Ashlena!! 👋 Larkin Poe just won a Grammy with their album Blood Harmony for Contemporary Blues Album of the Year. i remember discovering them around 2019. I was obsessed with their ability to play just about any genre. Their original music is amazing, but you see their diversity when they show homage to the music they enjoy through their covers. Mostly just the two sisters sitting in a bedroom or hotel room. It was 6 months later in 2019 when i discovered The Warning! Again, i was obsessed!! A little trivia: Both lead singer/guitarists Rebecca Lovell and Dany Villarreal share the same birthday's!!
    Here are a couple of Playlists of their covers. Check out the diversity of all the selections. They knock them all out of the park! As good or better than the original in some cases!
    Playlists #1 - Mostly acoustic and mellower tunes:
    ruclips.net/p/PLAOGal7pIOOikfwWqMSNGP8DWeI_xeX3h&si=EF4hi8N5oZSlUjz3
    Playlists #2 - More electric with blues and rock:

    A well-written song doesn't show everything at the beginning but builds up and saves some surprises for the end, which is contrary to what reactors need. I wonder how Stairway would fare in today's world. Larkin Poe are ten years older than The Warning. We saw them in Toronto last summer. Amazing! My favourite LP songs are Mad As A Hatter (Nu Deco version is great, so is the older convent version) and Back Down South with its reference to Macon - makes me cry.

    @kalshane5213 5 месяцев назад +4

    One of my two favorite sister acts (alongside The Warning). I don't think Rebecca ever sings a song the same way twice. Each performance has its own little improvisations here and there.
    When they started out, Rebecca played the mandolin instead of the guitar and it's taken her some time to grow into being comfortable enough with it to lay down a great solo like she does here. It's been interesting to watch the transition from Megan primarily playing lead on her lap steel (her current rig was custom-built for her. Previously she played an old Rickenbacker model that her dad did some custom metal work on so she could play it standing) to the two sisters sharing the load, so to speak, with the guitar work.
    Other songs worth checking out are Blood Harmony (the title track from their most-recent album), Bad Spell, Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues, Trouble in Mind, their cover of Preachin' Blues, with an honorable mention for Boltcutters and the Family Name, which I didn't dig as much on the album, but is fantastic live with the crowd work they do. They also have their own version of Black Betty that's pretty fun and they say takes more inspiration from Leadbelly's original recording than Ram Jam's cover.
    As others have mentioned, they have close to 200 stripped down covers of various songs that have inspired them on their channel; just the two sisters, their instruments and their voices, sitting on a couch or a hotel bed.

    I love Country and I love the Blues 'cause I have some eclectic tastes. You hear about Larkin Poe in passing from time to time, but once you hear them you wonder why they aren't bigger than they already are. Definitely a different sound than The Warning, but I suppose they have a similar backstory. Like TW, I think they are better live. They're damned good musicians at any rate and if they were around a few decades ago when Country was huge (more so than now) they would have dominated the charts.

      They started out as teenagers, In a Bluegrass band, called The Lovell Sisters, with older sister Jessica on fiddle, middle sister Megan on Dobro resonator guitar, and youngest sis, Rebecca (who does most of the writing), on Mandolin ( at 14, she was the first female and youngest person ever, to win the best Mandolin player, at the most prestigious Bluegrass Festival, in the US. All 3 Sisters started playing classical piano and Violin as pre schoolers. Jessica didn't like touring much, and left to go to college and get married, leaving the other two, to become Larkin Poe.

    Larkin Poe has elements of The Allman Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Marshall Tucker, Fanny, Janis Joplin, and lots of other Southern rock bands of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. They are reputed to be better live, as shown here. The studio album has a better sound stage, but the live performance is looser and more honest. I run hot and cold on this band. They're really, really good musicians, but their songs are cute and forgettable at the same time.

      [drunken rant] There is a stereotype among RUclipsrs that a Big Microphone equals coolness or authority or something. But most of that is tradition left over from radio in the 1940s, and no longer relevant in 2024. Unless that big microphone is well suited to the actual voice of the particular person behind it, and not just a conformist prop, it's irrelevant. In truth, most of us could get away with using a decent lapel mic and in-ear headphones, just as newscasters on TV do. The radio studio look is not really becoming. If the mic is chosen to complement the individual voice, fine. But in too many instances, it's' a $400 to $500 prop. Whether Ashlena needs the particular mic she uses, I couldn't say. Only she and her family and friends would know for sure, but it sounds reasonable to me. I do know that there are far too many people using mics the wrong way, and even more using mics that are unnecessary or flat out wrong for their voices. I listened to a podcast from a very prominent Internet musician from England tonight. Her laptop mic made her sound so sibilant I thought I was hearing bacon fry, or a parakeet with Covid 19 being eaten by a cat. Sadly, she's a brilliant recording artist who knows better, has, and usually uses ALL the right equipment.

      @@kevinthetruckdriver353 the acoustic insulation works three ways: it keeps her voice from bouncing around in her room, which makes her voice clearer regardless of the microphone; it reduces the noise entering her room from elsewhere that would pollute her voice recording - again regardless of microphone choice; and it reduces the sound of her voice escaping, which may less important but might be nice for her neighbours if she works at early or late hours. As for colour, some artists like the focus that a dark environment gives them. Also, big microphones have big diaphragms (the pickup surface) which make the voice sound warmer and more natural. As for directional microphones, they're great if you stay on top of them but otherwise their sound varies. If there's any compression in the signal path, they will raise the noise floor if you're off the microphone. Viva Ashlena, viva Larkin Poe y viva The Warning!
