  • Mad As A Hatter by Larkin Poe (Live Performance from RH Studios 2015)
    Larkin Poe UA-cam Channel : / larkinpoe
    (On Behalf Of The Record Company Tricki-Woo Records)
    Larkin Poe is the name of a band headed by sisters, Rebecca Lovell and Megan Lovell, from Atlanta, GA. They have been playing a potpourri of music since 2005. They were raised in a family that was passionate about music with their father an avid classic rock fan and their mother being a fan of classical music. At the early ages of three and four, Rebecca and Megan were enrolled in classical violin lessons. By the time they heard bluegrass they had already acquired fundamental knowledge of music. They were impressed with bluegrass and they decided to embrace the indigenous music of their home. Rebecca, Megan, and older sister Jessica formed a bluegrass band called The Lovell Sisters. As The Lovell Sisters, they toured for four years and made an appearance on Garrison Keeler’s radio show on NPR The Prairie Home Companion, and most notably they performed on the famous stage of The Grand Ole Opry.
    Although they were performing primarily as a bluegrass band The Lovell Sister would often bust out with a Hendrix or even Led Zeppelin song.
    The girls disbanded in 2009 when they formed their current band, Larkin Poe. Rebecca is a talented guitarist and not bad on the mandolin. Megan is the lap steel savant of the band and maintains a driven force that exemplifies the sound of Larken Poe.
    Their albums thus far are Kin 2014, Reskinned 2016, Peach 2017, Venom and Faith 2018, and soon to come Self Made Man which is due out 6/2020. Larkin Poe was voted Best Discovery if Glastenbury 2014 by the UK’s Observer. Their album Venom and Faith was number one on the Billboard blues album chart and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
    • The Allman Brothers "O...
    The girls toured extensively with Elvis Costello, who definitely had them under his wing and no doubt helped launch their career. Costello even turned down a spot on The Conan O’Brien Show and suggested he book Larkin Poe. Although they give credit where credit is due, Rebecca and Megan, in an interview with Damien Burford, state that they are proud of their hard work and perseverance. At the young ages of 25 and 26, they are still inspired by other musicians.
    Rebecca and Megan established a UA-cam presence and accumulated a large following. Being contemporary women they prefer not to be labeled or feel restricted to one genre. Megan’s mesmerizing muse guided lap steel playing and the girl’s bluesy voices make it difficult to not categorize them as quintessential blues artists. Their music is rife with Allman Brother, Jimmy Page, Hendrix, and Credence influences as well as Rebecca’s favorite Jeff Buckley. They have recently familiarized themselves with the earlier greats. Both agree that they learn something new every day and credit a lot of their experience and knowledge to Elvis Costello, whose wisdom and experience he kindly shared on tour.
    Larkin Poe has established a strong presence in the blues circuit and will most likely be considered legendary performers for decades to come. I am still trying to remove the heavy proverbial rock that I have been living under, as I have just recently discovered the music of Larkin Poe and now I can’t get enough.

    I have made similar comments to these in response to other Larkin Poe videos, but they bare repeating. The first time I discovered these girls on UA-cam, it was their performance of this song at The Convent. The timing seemed strange, as it was just 2 days after I had bid farewell to a much loved aunt, who had passed away with dementia. I was in bits as I listened to this track, but mesmorised by their performance. Ever since, I have never been able to watch any recording online of this without weeping. But last weekend I saw them live at the Roundhouse in London, where they played this, and it was my highlight of the show. At the time of writing this, another lady long known to me, though unrelated, has been placed in a care home owing to dementia.
    I follow Rebecca and Megan avidly now, loving their music, and ever grateful to them for writing this.

      Same here, I just turned 59 & was diagnosed with bi-polar by the time I was 30. My dad started with dementia 7 mos ago & he is slipping fast. It's trying on my mom since she is his care giver the majorityof time & I see her getting anxiety from it. I do my part & stay with them to help out a few days at a time until I feel it wearing heavily on me & have to step away a few days for my own sanity. I don't know how my mom deals with his dementia day after day. They been married 67 yrs. So she won't put him in a home. It makes ME wonder just when.or how old I'll be when my son recognizes I have small signs. I ask him to put me outta my misery, I don't wanna put that burden on him & I don't wanna live not knowing whats going on around me & having delusions my lived ones are against me. Mental illness is a battle when many have no clue! I wouldn't wish the curse on anyone. Hugs to you xo❤

    I really like this song and have it in some playlists, but figured out I have a hard time singing along, because even if I'm not emotional I'll still choke up when I try. That fear definitely runs deep even when I don't think about it.
    Between several mental problems that run in my family, I also have MS and that is stealing my ability to think even if I've been trying to stay vigilant about everything else.

    studies have shown that less than 0.5% who consistently engage in social partner dancing never get mental illnesses typically associated with aging. One theory is because the mind body and spacial awareness coordination on a moving dance floor keeps the brain in good working condition. I think it is also about the mind, body, emotions learning to move in tandem with another to the music.

    It always the small subtle signs there is a tell tell...
    I had to take over everything slowly and be a "parents" for my mom it was really hard, because my sister had already "tab out" and didn't want to help...
    Tuff times and years....
    It was first when she got her autopsy they saw the alzheimers dementia was discovered, a CT scan could have done that...
