🎤 Interview (Manuel Unger): www1.wdr.de/mediathek/video/s...
Seit 2005 machen die beiden Schwestern Rebecca und Megan Lovell gemeinsam Musik. Starke Harmonien, Slide-Gitarre und klassische Southern Rock-Elemente treffen bei Larkin Poe hin und wieder auch auf heavy E-Gitarren-Riffs, was der Band Vergleiche mit den Allman Brothers einbrachte.
Aufgewachsen in Georgia machen Rebecca und Megan zunächst gemeinsam mit ihrer älteren Schwester Jessica Musik im Akustik-Trio The Lovell Sisters. Nach vier Jahren inklusive Tourneen und selbst produzierten Alben löst sich die Band 2009 auf. 2010 kommen Megan und Rebecca wieder zusammen und taufen die neue Band nach ihrem Ur-Ur-Urgroßvater Larkin Poe, angeblich ein Cousin des berühmten Schriftstellers Edgar Allan Poe.
Nach einigen in Eigenregie veröffentlichten EPs und Mitwirkungen auf Alben befreundeter Bands unterschreiben die Schwestern 2013 einen Plattenvertrag. 2014 erscheint Larkin Poes Debütalbum "Kin". Ihre Zusammenarbeit mit Produzent T Bone Burnett macht sie bekannter, und 2014 und 2016 spielen Larkin Poe auf dem Glastonbury Festival in England. 2017 sind Larkin Poe die Backingband von Stars wie Jackson Browne und Don Henley beim Tom Petty-Tribut-Konzert von "MusiCares" in Los Angeles. Ihr Album "Venom & Faith" aus dem Jahr 2018 erreichte Platz 1 der Billboard Blues-Album-Charts und wurde für einen Grammy als "Best contemporary blues album" nominiert.
2020 erschien "Self Made Man" und erreichte ebenfalls Platz 1 der Billboard Blues-Album-Charts. Noch im selben Jahr erschien mit "Kindred Spirits" ein Coveralbum mit Songs von u.a. Lenny Kravitz, Phil Collins, Neil Young und Elvis Presley. 2022 erschien das sechste Album "Blood Harmony".

[@user-ec9pv6li4v]

This duo is insanely talented and deserve recognition for being true artists. They are one of my favorite groups and have been ever since I discovered them. May they get everything they go after. ❤❤

[@Nightchime3236]

I am a rock child of the 70's too. This amazing band brings a familiar beat back into new music. They stand out and kick ass.

[@theuserformerlyknownas-ou7wd9]

70 years old, and I discovered Larkin Poe only a few weeks ago! I've been listening to everything I can find of them ever since. What a stunningly good band - I haven't been so impressed by an American act since I discovered Little Feat back in the 70s - these young women and their band are up there in the same league!

[@erichaley4945]

I was introduced to them last year. Saw them live... Amazing

[@JaceFace75]

How can you not be blown away by the talent of Larkin Poe

[@lobaskinv]

Righteous old-school sound

[@rexwave4624]

Although they have the old sound, they aren't repeating the old music. Their songs and riffs are new to my ears. Rebecca and Megan both have their own styles. I can hear their continuing development every year. I feel like Rebecca's guitar playing has elevated to a new level this year. If you can, check them out live - it's a treat.

[@chrisgallagher5920]

63 and only found out about them with the grammy, didn't know they were bluesy roots

[@atreb56]

Thanks for this. These ladies are the real deal. So glad they won the Grammy.🔥🤘

[@joekagerer]

Is it me or is anyone else out there in love with these two ladies?❤❤😂😂😂😂

[@philbates7975]

You are not alone😂😂

[@MrLespaul2000]

Definitely not alone. Damn sexiest voice ever :)

[@wout69]

It is you and it is a little sad.

[@buckm3183]

LP is not the first band for the Lovell ladies. Listen to the music they made as The Lovell Sisters when they were in high school, along with their older sister Jessica. They have gone from bluegrass to blues.

[@raviomsingercnx6969]

❤ add me please

[@jonascarlsson5137]

Very skilled musicians! I love Larkin Poe

[@GregRLeveille-ds7kl]

This is the best R&R, and the best R&B that I've heard since the 60's. WOW

[@AnziNordi-gs5zq]

"Bolt cutters & the family name" ist auch ein Hammersong von Larkin Poe; I really love and respect these two sisters of awesome music and guitarsound ... !!!!!!! 😅😅😅😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@inlakesh555]

What a tight, ambitious and talented band! Thanks to all the 'Rockpalaster' for this excellent support🤙🤙🤙

[@dlanodpmurt5531]

The best LP concert. The girls are in great form and really enjoy themselves, the recording is of tthe best quality. German TV has done an excellent job with the editing and the sound is A1 throughout. Even the audience is great.Thanks for the great music! So rare these days.

[@beckster757]

Lyrics - She winds me up. I'm spinning for the rest of my day. I can't get her out of my head. So, it's there that I'll let her play. Even the doctor didn't know what to do. So I started wearing my left as a right, but that's just my shoes. The funniest thing is that it never gives me the blues. No, it don't. No, it won't. Give me the blues.

[@gerardsmith6619]

LARKIN POE LADIES DOING MORE AND MORE, BETTER AND BETTER EVERY TIME OUT OF THE GATE!!! ALWAYS RAISING THEIR OWN BAR, HIGHER AND HIGHER. BEST VERSION OF LARKIN POE BAND TO DATE, WITH BACKBONE IN THE DRUMLINE AND BASS, A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION. MEGAN LOVELL AND REBECCA LOVELL, FABULOUS !!!

[@ioannismpanos4672]

It is stunning, how well they bind us all together, and how much we actually miss that bond which we' ve forgotten or misplaced.

[@Dutchnavyengineer]

Seen them live 4 times in 2 years and I would have gone another 10 times if I could. This band rocks!

[@TheDhmcompu]

The rise of Southern Rock like a rise of the Phonix, real and authentic. Thank you women! Thanks for that little tribute to Allman Brothers . You didn’t forget your southern roots.

[@mvellis3863]

Derek Trucks calls them "the little sisters of the Allman Brothers"

[@tonybennett365]

These two girls are the best thing to hit southern rock n roll in over a decade..

[@jackcrane7853]

the allman SISTERS

[@bloozedaddy9965]

I discovered these fantastic sisters in 2017 and have followed them ever since. So glad to see a grammy finally in their hands and with proper media attention they should be the hottest music act of 2024. Rebecca is a dynamite singer and Megan's excellent slide guitar and harmony vocals are the icing on the cake. Pathetic that the media doesn't want this type of music to get through to the masses and so bubblegum pop is all you are allowed to hear. Any clueless music fan who thinks Swift or Cyrus have anything on these kick ass sisters have no appreciation for true talent or musicianship. When bubblegum pop is all they know, wake em up with LARKIN POE!

[@frankboyd.]

Great production on all levels. Larkin Poe's live shows display flawless perfection and high energy throughout. Years of delivering great music has made their shows a must see event. 💙💙💙💙

[@gjazz22]

What a great drummer ..he never steps on anybody lines. Sounds like he was taught how to play for guitars, perfect for a trio..Bravo!

[@thurobusch6620]

There are really many very good Drummers Out there- but only a few can play just for the guitars. You ara absolutely right!

[@ancientfifer]

Agreed! He joined them about a year ago I think, replacing their long time original drummer, but I think he is even better than their original drummer.

[@paulalbamonte4756]

Larkin Poe has had at least 3 drummers over the years . This show deliberately does not play Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues where the new guy constantly falls short of great . Kevin the previous drummer was fantastic metronome like machine at Ringo Star like skill level . This guy is good enough replacement as long as they keep Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues off the playlist. The sub. Dividing on that requirement is very steep .

[@joergschaefer6772]

Absolutly right, but don"t forget the bassplayer, they are both unbeatable, playing for the songs

[@maazvdo]

Rebecca and Megan, you are wonderful and talented, super session! Thanks for share, Rockpalast.

[@hpfmusic9137]

Since I was a young boy in the 70ties I am following ROCKPALAST. The Quality of Picture and Sound has so much improved and it´s on absolutly High level. Thanks so much ROCKPALAST. This Convert again shows the greatness of good quality Music and it´s professional recording.

[@fernsehdesign]

Yes. You are absoluteley right. Rockpalast (WDR) has done an incredible job. This could easily be a live album without further treatment. Thanks for that.🖖🏽🍀

[@wildcolonialman]

Best Rock and Roll on the Planet. These Girls should tour with the Rolling Stones. God bless you Girls, God Bless Rock and Roll. Easily two of the finest guitars running.

[@samanthabeal2000]

They could easily headline for the stones, these ladies are in a league all their own, rock on!

[@MsPetra2009]

Sure...if the Stones were the "warm up" band.

[@wildcolonialman]

Brilliant.@@MsPetra2009

[@Thomas-xs2kq]

Stones would be scared.

[@Ulrich-nu7xw]

😅​@@MsPetra2009

[@wilfriedsommer9491]

WUNDERBAR! Greets from Germany 🇩🇪

[@kurtweiand7086]

I have also been following Poe! I think this is their best!👍😉😁

[@lucianoluggren]

Rockpalast, sounding good since 1976. Great band. Greetings from Argentina.

[@budgiehale]

First time I have heard of them and first time I hear them. I am having one of thoes nights just roaming about and everything I have listened to has been exceptionally good. For some reason I am getting a Rory Gallagher feeling from this I think its the endings when the song is over it is nailed bang and the slide is totaly on the note not , looking for it. I wonder what I will land on next I think it's going to be all good stuff , I will have to write them down. Before this I WAS getting big names playing together and having a blast with each other and bringing out the best in each other and smiling like nowing your good and thinking well I will remember this gig forever and so will everyone here tonight the band will be glad they turned up for this one. I won't forget watching and hearing this glad I turned up and its free.

[@lloydrobeau5126]

Ladies,,,, !!!!! 🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸❤️🎸🎶🎸🎶❤️🎸🎶 More Love from New Orleans 🎸🎶🎸❤️🎸🎶🎸

[@billyee4161]

Wow! The way these two ladies blended during the improvisation near the end of "Bad Spell" is absolutely transcendent.

[@Anthony-pl5zl]

They've been playing together since preschool it's like they meld together but individually they're just as awesome keep rocking .

[@scottangle574]

I looked up Larkin Poe after they won the Grammy. I'm a big fan of Jesse Dayton and Samantha Fish and wanted to know who beat them. Happy to say there very good and deserved the Grammy. Looking forward to seeing them in Houston one day.

[@DMYTROHRYHORIEV]

Сестри Блюз найкрутіші!

[@lennarthallberg9918]

I discovered Larkin Poe only a few minutes ago from KZbin and by total coincidence. Glad I found them, they are simply great!!!

[@sherryogletree2409]

Right !?!?!? I heard midas a hatter first didn't prepare me to hear this kick as r&b hillbilly American rock how much fun would a live show ,to be in the audience, be .....

[@ramblerdave1339]

That's how most of us got here! Myself, at the beginning of Covid. I have every CD they put out since then, and hadn't bought any new music since the 90s. 73 year old Blues Rocker!

[@dertobi8458]

I love that I now have a great quality memory from the concert I've been to🙌🏼

[@TheREALJosephTurner]

I just discovered Larkin Poe tonight. This is just the second video I've watched- a whole dang performance! I'm blown away. I can't get enough of this!

[@vratyadeleon1928]

Eigentlich hatte ich mich schon längst von solch Elektro-Lärm abgewandt - aber diese Schwestern haben mich wieder bekehrt.

[@AnziNordi-gs5zq]

Its now 4:35 am and I cannot sleep in the moment and so I hear LARKIN POE's concert with "GEORGIA OFF MY MIND" and I was totally flashed (!). The two sisters at its best, thank ypu both for this fantastic awesome music; greetings from Eckernförde in Germany in the late night ... !!!!!! 😮😮😮😊😊😊😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindathalman3506]

WDR Rockpalast you never disappoint. Stunning filming. I'm on stage with Larkin Poe. Saw them in Paris in October 2023 with this show. So professional. Perfect sound. Rebecca and Megan should have been the Time people of the year. Sorry Swifties. They played with Blackberry Smoke at the '23 Homecoming. Hope you'll have Blackberry Smoke again, too. Heartfelt thanks for this outstanding concert. Danke, Vielen Dank, merci, gracias, grazie, obrigado, thank you so so much.

[@joachimsickenberger9048]

Larking Poe mit Blackberry smoke ist ja ein "tream dream:

[@cantemirash]

Wonderful show, saw them in Munich and it was a great evening. Very entertaining, good music and a great opening act with The Sheepdogs.

[@Rumblepicker]

Saw them twice and that ain't enough

[@nico_acm]

I saw them in Barcelona last Nov. Amazing. Quality and harmony on "It might as well be me" it's so fucking fantastic.

[@Casi5000]

Saw them twice in Hamburg - they were great the first time and even better the second time! It was totally worth the Corona infection I got there xD

[@elreyvd]

Following them since they were kids in bluegrass... great artists and I dare to say that Megan looks more powerful as time goes by...

[@daveflanagan4213]

The Lovell Sisters; yip saw them twice back in the day

[@charlesherman531]

They are better than most of the top names in music ...❤

[@scorpionsaloon4169]

Larkin Poe is on fire ! That is some fine rock and roll right there.

[@lornestelmach]

WOW ... They are absolutely crazy good!

[@christianjungbluth3904]

Maybe there´s not the time right now...but people will hear good stuff again soon ahead!

[@ShawnWilliams1987]

Larkin Poe, I love you girls!

[@joachimsickenberger9048]

Der Sound und die Arrangements sind deutlich besser als noch im letzten Jahr. "Much tighter". Weiter so.

[@Marcus_Yant]

"Bolt cutters" exactly that my soul wanted long time 🙂

[@herrjanssen8531]

Been there too and it was my third time seeing them live in Cologne since 2018. It is amazing to see how they developed over the years. Rebecca and Megan, please keep the good music alive! A huge thank you also to WDR for making this possible!

[@joachimsickenberger9048]

Ja, da ist wirklich eine unglaubliche Entwicklung zu hören. Und außerdem sehen sie in weiß gut aus.

[@davidhogan5133]

You ladies rock!! Thank you for your music. Enjoy listening.🌄😊👍

[@matshult4781]

So happy I found you...Larkin Poe ❤ And thanks for sharing this great show. Awesome is the word 👍😎🎼🎤🎹🎸

[@frankpaush]

...the vanilla flavour of southern ... not new, not agressive, not shocking ... but irresistable and perfectly performed.

[@audiophileman7047]

Larkin Poe rocks our world so incredibly well. What a great show this was! 😻

[@AnziNordi-gs5zq]

Rebecca and Megan Lowell, I love and respect your awesome work and this amazing sound ... long live LARKIN POE ... !!!!! 😊😊😊😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Saw them in Austin at the Scoot Inn last February and they rocked the place down! Can't wait until they come back through town again! And congratulations to the Lovell sisters for their second Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album ("Blood Harmony")

[@ramblerdave1339]

And first win!

Wow, just brilliant, please get this available on a DVD somehow as it is so good. Been a big fan since the bluegrass days and what a journey its been, best band around.

[@levynagyphoto]

Nowadays it is called 'YT download' ;)

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

I remember the good ol’ days of DVD’s. Going to Blockbuster, and then subscribing to Netflix, those were some good times.

[@kenwill-jp8xw]

They really deserved that Grammy.

[@docadams1]

Congrats on the Grammy. Well deserved.

[@lukaskadava82]

World class band! I saw them in Prague and they were absolutely amazing.

[@barrystraughan2678]

Agreed! I saw them in Manchester, truly amazing. They had me dancing and I never dance at gigs.

[@rexwave4624]

Last year, they finally made it to Toronto. Wonderful! This is a great video. The sound and camera angles are excellent with the right amount of view switching. Subbed to discover what else WDR Rockpalast has to offer.

[@christophkoch5405]

It might as well be me - immer wieder unfassbar, diese Perfektion des Gesangs, aber auch alle anderen Songs sind toll! ❤

[@kenmain448]

Fabulous work of video, sound, editing, etc which gives a great feel of this concert .

[@paulalbamonte4756]

The new drummer is getting better every show . Thanks for dropping Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues from the playlist it was the only song he fell short on .

[@raiderdave80]

OMGoodness 😲 on the great Rockpalast? YESSSS! THANKS ❤ ✌

[@jfitz3101]

In a sea of manufactured 'stars,' these women stand far, far above as flat-out, badass talent.

[@buckm3183]

A bit of trivia ... Larkin Poe is their great great great great grandfather, who was a cousin of Edgar Allen Poe. Larkin owned a farm in North Georgia, not far from Chattanooga. The farm was burned by the Confederates during the Battle of Chickamauga, one of the most significant battles of the Civil War. Angry about losing his farm, Larkin, a Confederate teamster, took his family north to escape, switched sides and joined the Union Army, supporting the Union for the rest of the war.

[@derbf1]

Yes, very cool, I watched that interview they did, awesome they wrote "Mad as a Hatter" in reference to their grandfather they loved.

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

listening to the great guitar/slide guitar work in Larkin Poe, this brings me back the early days of the Allman Brothers with the great talent of the late Duane Allman

[@vratyadeleon1928]

Die "akustische" Einlage habe ich besonders genossen ....
