Listening to Larkin Poe is the easiest way to experience happiness.

[@audiophileman7047]

Happy, happy, happy here!😁

[@draccyman]

These girls have made 2020 INFINITELY more bearable!!

[@kevinharnan8378]

So true 👍

[@bretlysle3847]

They've done the same for 2021,2022 and 2023 so far.

[@johnbrus3510]

Your musical talents are impressive, but your willingness to share your skills with others far outshines them. The fact that you're willing to let us share in your process, is priceless! Thank you!😁

[@t.b.y.3350]

Real…that’s what you guys are…real. I could honestly watch a 24/hour documentary of you guys just hanging and playing. Real!

[@jerrym3261]

I find it amazing that LP can turn a song like Crocodile Rock from a background noise, plays on the radio, on while you're doing something else song into a stop my world song. I'm a little surprised to hear that it has lyrics and those lyrics have "feels" attached. While I'm here, It brings me joy to have found Tyler Bryant is far from the stereotypical, inflated ego rocker and is a straight up, righteous human being. Lots of old souls in Larkin Poe Land.

[@rolfr6662]

I feel like a teenager at the ripe age of 61. You represent what American Music has been for the last 100 years. Keep mixing it up and I hope you never 🎵fade away.🎵

[@KimonFrousios]

Never worry about pushing and pulling the timing. It's part of the dynamics. I saw a video (maybe by Rick Beato) about the timing of Jimi Hendrix and how different parts of a song were ever so lightly faster or slower and how this contributed to excitement or relaxation and that magic that you can't get out of a constant roboclicktrack.

[@kellyemery5514]

Like Wayne Kramer says... The tongue out is a Detroit thang... I forget y'all have been hammering it with the touring. Thank God you're not wasting such talent not doing shows or gigs. BLESSINGS

[@audiophileman7047]

There is always great excitement on any LP album release. One thing I really like about this pandemic, if there's anything to like at all, is LP's increased KZbin video presence. 👍👍👍 Since they can't tour right now, there's more time for recording and making videos. Hurray for that! 👍💖🎸😎

[@TheOriginalJayhawk]

I second that emotion. 🙌

[@georgrittel4243]

You are right - but don' t we as "fans" put very much pressure on them to produce more and more stuff / entertainment? I appreciated the video where Rebecca and Megan sat on their porch and confessed that they had time for gardening and cooking the first time ever. Aren't these the moments of recreation that help to be real creative? Yes, I love to see new videos every now and then - but my excitement is greater, when they surprise us all with new ideas, sparkeling eyes and smiling faces. This is why I am preferring them to many other artists. They aren't just selling goods, no, they joyfully share moments of discovering little musical wonders with us. See DIY slide/guitar for example. See the idea of stripping down old songs and constructing them new. Or the idea to shine a light on the southern musical heritage through a new musical lens. This is the reason why I am trying to patiently wait for any next release. But, honestly, it is hard to wait for the next vinyl when it is hanging right before your nose like a carrot. 10 more days! Oh, I admit this is shortsighted. The real hard pressure is done by the virus that prevents artists from earning money in front of large crowds. Let's hope the BioNTec vaccination will solve this mess very soon.

[@frankboyd.]

Takes me back to time Beatles stopped touring. Future was uncertain for them. But the music flourished like never before.

[@audiophileman7047]

@@georgrittel4243 I love your comments about the blues sisters. 👍👍👍👍👍 I have felt those very same things that you expressed. They have a love and appreciation for the music they play and create. It's okay to let them work hard. They're in their creative prime. They will never get these years back once these years are gone. I see them making great music throughout their lives, but now is the time for them to give it everything they have. They're building their future and yes, this damn plague has thrown a monkey wrench into their beloved career and even our lives. What have they done? They've found a way to keep their art alive and out there for us fans who are eager to soak up their wonderful music. I met Rebecca and Megan after one of their shows. They are down-to-earth and haven't let their success go to their heads. They are kind and respectful people as well. They've got their heads screwed on right. Even if the blues sisters were to leave their career in music behind, they would be successful at whatever they decide to do. Let's hope that they continue to make music for us at least once in a while if that happens!

[@paulperkins1615]

While it is possible to make a great recording one track at a time, there is a certain liveliness that comes from human beings reacting to each other at the same time that I really like to hear.

[@Fuzzphillips]

Dig that flag!!!!!!!! More importantly that soul 🙌

[@audiophileman7047]

I thoroughly enjoyed the inside look at the making of Kindred Spirits. Your collaboration with Roger and Tyler and your soul searching on how to make the best album possible is commendable. It is one of the reasons why I love your music so much, your commitment to quality and purpose! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@dannymatthews6365]

Well said and I’m in agreement.

[@frankboyd.]

You're spot on, blues brother. People can produce amazing results by listening to each other with respect and agreeing on a common goal. When they talk about listening to their gut they really mean their hearts.

[@audiophileman7047]

@@frankboyd. Well said, man!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 I always enjoy your comments!! 👍👍👍 Thanks!!! 😎

[@oldgrizz8720]

I applaud your courage and honesty for sharing the ups and downs of the creative process. I also admire your integrity to admit that after all that work something was missing. I agree with your gut. The chemistry (and love) between you two is absolutely a life giving spark. I think this love and respect for each other in the creative process makes your music unique. But I also believe that the genuine love and respect you have for those musicians and song writers whose work you're covering comes through in your covers bringing new life to those works of art. I hope that makes sense. I am so looking forward to this CD coming in the mail, so that I can emerse myself in all this love and music. Thank you Rebecca and Megan. Love you both and wish you continued success.

[@lotharwilhelm]

you are absolutely right!

[@meinhendl]

the world needs more music like this . fantastic !

[@jfr597]

Very impressed. Covers should never be "throwaways". If you choose to record them, then they should be done with the same seriousness as originals. Looking forward to the album.

Thanks for granting us a look behind the scenes. And also thanks for not pretending you´d always have an instant solution up your sleeves. Playing a bit guitar myself, I only feel safe and ready to play a piece, when I have made a thousand mistakes learning it. The mistakes a part of the deal and something we can grow on. Peace!

IM IN LOVE WITH MEGAN

[@cliffhomow]

Me too!

[@paganrelic]

And here I was thinking I couldn't be more impressed by you than I already was. Thank you once again for making my life that much sweeter and tolerable with your musicianship and artistic integrity. I agree wholeheartedly with your choice to redo your album live because for me anyway, this is what sets you above your peers. Covers you have done of songs I am very familiar with have without exception been brilliant reinterpretations and I always look forward to seeing your videos. Best wishes to you and your families.

[@dortmundgrabenstein9193]

I say I have to agree in the end as an artist you rely on your gut feeling, I don't think that cerebral art is the way to go. Especially music is a very emotional art, so I guess going with your gut is the best way to do it. Cheers from Germany!

[@zendog000]

This was really great; thank you for sharing girls. Love your takes on Bell Bottom Blues, Crocodile Rock and especially Hellhound on my Trail! Looking forward to seeing you at Byron Bay in April 2023!

My Lord where’d you learn to play so fine? You give me eargasms. That’s the only way to say it. I’m blissing out!

[@dannymatthews6365]

I need to say, I commented before reading the other comments, and now that I have, I think it’s cool and kinda eerie how quite a few of us have said similar things. It shows the Larkin Poe experience affects a segment of the audience so completely that it brings us together as a singular entity.

[@frankboyd.]

Revisiting this Jan 2022. During the process of Larkin Poe's yet not named new album. Good to see the procedures.

[@billhart9832]

Thanks for the glimpse into your world. Kindred Spirits could not be more appropriately titled, at least from my 10,000 mile view in Thailand. I love the tiny spaces you’ve recorded from in the past and the “stairwell” is a new classic venue. (boys in the hall, girls in the stairwell, a song there somewhere...). Your tiny taste of “Crocodile Rock” near the end made me “shiver with antici..... pation!” Such inspiration and passion every time I hear you. Thanks for your amazing music.

[@fishwithsj]

Thanks for the peek behind the curtain. I'm always fascinated by "the creative process". Kindred Spirits is definitely on my Christmas list!

@@marikachittick Anything with Buckingham and Nicks in Fleetwood Mac would be great. Funny you should mention them, I was just watching a documentary on Stevie called "Stevie Nicks Through The Looking Glass". When they recorded Rumours, the band had many problems with relationships falling apart and the excesses and stresses of rock superstardom. Many of the songs on the album deal with those problems. It's amazing that they were able to function as a group and produce one of the greatest albums of the classic '70's rock era. Haven't heard about the Nu Deco and LP live stream collaboration.
