I'm sure that Robert johnson will be proud with this version, congratulations Rebecca and megan you were perfect.

[@Tom123mike]

Everyone has done this song but you’ve done it best 👍

[@kevinfroude8679]

Such a great rendition of this song with Megan's super-cool slide playing and Rebecca's "made for the blues" voice. Love it.

[@jamescogley1637]

Thank you God bless

[@sschmidtevalue]

People who dislike this must have never heard the original Robert Johnson version. Larkin Poe has done their homework here. As Bill & Ted would say, EXCELLENT!!

[@steveakers3322]

Most outstanding!

Larkin Poe can't miss the target with this song. It's flowing through their blood. 💜💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎

Unequivocally blues blood! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

You got that right!

[@keithfarrington8179]

hey Frank, I noticed only one voice and one set of hands sliding. perfection of simplicity. as to blue(s) blood, we all got that. just don't always recognize it.

I love you so much

Insanely Good. Robert Johnson would definitely approve

"Are You the police?" .. Becky Bob, "No Ma'am, we're musicians" .... Megan Moo, "Got any fried chicken? Bring me four fried chickens and a coke." ... Aretha; "The one with dark hair and the aqua guitar wants white bread, toast, dry, nothing on it and the other one wants four fried chickens and a coke." ..... ON A MISSION FROM GOD !!!

Right On Lisa!

Was it a deal with the Devil? 😈

[@samanders2676]

Yup, they did. The Devil begged the ladies to tune his guitar.

[@pepocero]

Megan, you don't fool me, you've gone to the crossroads and made the pact! You play beautifully!

[@LeionardoFloxo]

Excellent version....!!! It's not spectacular, you are Music in the blood. Please, what a beautiful version, congratulations.

[@michaelirons5662]

omg this is awesome better and better ladies, would love to hear you play Woodstock.

[@BlueRidgeKat1]

I'm going to be honest...... Meagan is my favorite and I can listen to her play all day long, but I be damn if Rebecca doesn't have one of the best female blue's voices of all time.

[@ClericsofOhm]

Yet another song that Larkin Poe now owns

[@Nagi40]

Pure gold...

[@chrislynch7133]

Being from Chicago, I've heard a million versions of this, but never a better one than this. Outstanding.

it is a shame that Clapton is still not doing his Crossroads Guitar Festival . Because you deserve a place on the stage with the Blues greats. Dam Child !! you slayed

[@ralfbuschner6925]

That's some preachin' the blues. Yeah.

[@audiophileman7047]

Absolutely killer, Rebecca & Megan!!! 👍👍👍👍👍 You have blues blood in your veins; your version of this stripped down RJ classic song is full of mojo and crystal blues persuasion with a nice shot of pure blues joy. 😎😎😎😎😎 Everything was perfect on the song! 💖💖💖💖💖 This blues classic showcases two of LP's strengths, very strong, spirit lifting vocals from Rebecca and deeply blue, stellar slide from Megan. Hope this cover makes it on a future Kindred Spirits album someday, and I'd love to hear it live someday as well. This is the kind of song an audience can sing along with you. Thank you for a wonderful blues cover and making my Saturday!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Take care and be safe!! 👍💖🎸😎

Joyous. The Lovell ladies deliver the goods once more. I talk to a lot of folks about many genres of music (Celtic, world, modernist jazz, Americana, orchestral, singer-songwriter, bluegrass, Motown, ambient, etc.) and every single one (these are people who know their stuff) speaks glowingly of Larkin Poe. In fact, I have never heard even a minor criticism. These two women have something special.
