How do I miss great artists for years on RU-vid? Larkin Poe is incredible. I can't get enough! Real songs, real musical skills, real melodies, real harmonies
I showed this to my 10 year-old daughter who currently plays percussion in the elementary school band. She is thinking about giving it up because there are too many boys in the percussion section. I wanted her to see how awesome girls can be if you stick with it. She loved it! I also recorded the Conan performance (it was past her bedtime!) for her to see. I have a feeling she is going to keep it up. May you inspire a whole new wave of empowered little girls to grab some instruments and rock it out!
@@samnobody8926 I agree, but many of their songs are actually catchy enough to have been hit singles if given the airplay. Having said that, the charts are full of inane, formulaic rubbish, as the masses are easily pleased.
Saw a bit of an interview with you 2. Larkin Poe was your great granddad and he was related to Edgar. Loved your “Mad as a hatter”. You2 give us old guys hope .
Saw them in Bellingham a couple weeks ago. They walked on stage and rocked the house. Not just pretty faces (yes very) but very talented musicians. They gained 1500 new fans that night. It was just the two sisters, but that was plenty. They came out later with Elvis and fit like a glove with him. At intermission they shook hands in the lobby. Seemed very down to earth. They are violin prodigies from a young age. Been touring Europe for 5 years. If you get a chance go see them. Lots of good stuff on RU-vid.
Finally. Song writers who are coming up with melody and harmonic progressions instead of the usual wailing singers try to pass off as music. I love it!
David Taubner So, no examples. And that percentage you came up with out of nowhere couldn’t be more wrong. I’m not saying anything about Larkin Poe, hell, they rock and are extremely talented, as you said. I do love them. But c’mon, if you have access to the internet, it’s pretty easy to find endless amounts of extremely talented musicians, in any kind of genre. There have always been musical geniuses, but it was harder in the past for them to show their art to the world. Nowadays, it’s gotten easier, and I invite you to explore the web and find mindblowing musicians regarding any style, from “classical” (academic) interpreters and composers, to rock, jazz, funk, blues, hip hop, sound engineers and fusions of every culture with every genre. Purists are always saying things like “music is dead”, “rock will never be the same”. I call that nonsense. Yeah, rock hasn’t topped the charts for a long time and probably never will again, but that doesn’t mean a thing, it’s more alive than ever, and it keeps evolving. It happened to “classical”, it happened to jazz. They’re always staying alive and strong with thousands of people dedicating their lives to innovate. If you don’t like what they play on the radio, just don’t listen to it. But don’t you dare discredit tens of thousands of geniuses saying that 99% of singers and songwriters are phonies. Even a lot of pop artists are talented as heck. And, if you don’t believe me, look for Vulpeck’s concert at Madison Square Garden: Funk band, sold out the place last year, no manager, no record company. These talented artists are no exceptions, like people think, they’re the big fat bottom of the iceberg, being the 99% themselves, but with technology it’s quite easy to find and support them and enjoy their art.
@@MrSchivy Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift and everyone who sounds like them. No melody. No musical content. But please. Go troll someone else. If you're lonely and desperate for someone to talk to, find a dating site.
Don't shit on music you don't like. "vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion." is real music.
These sisters can sing.... play their instruments..... write their songs..... and they wear clothes. They don't have a chance in the pure shit music industry.
I saw them live recently and their dynamic stage presence stole the show. But, what really stood out to me was their duets -- the quality and blending of their voices is remarkable. It shows in this video.
My take: Larkin Poe are two beautiful Ladies who took their childhood pains and turned them into bad ass blues, rock and soul music that I truly enjoy...Well done...girls
saw them when they came to my city and played at a club during a musical festival and met them back stage. They are so sweet and nice ...and pretty and sexy!! I love them and their music!! Everyone needs several of Larkin Poe songs in their playlist!
Lyrics - You talk before you know you're talking. Does the thought turn you around before you start walking. Hey, will you listen to me. It's got to go into your ears, into the brain before you can see. The rest is just noise you can do without. When the sound is clear, there can be no doubt. I'm talking to you. By now, I should be getting through. Hopefully, you can hear me by now. Or did the words go over when you took a bow.
Just heard this fantastic band are playing Behind The Castle Music Festival in Dorset on 13th June. Was there last year - I reckon it's the perfect place to catch them.
No matter what venue the two of you apear in you always impress. I've been listing to music for over 60 years played in a few bands myself and am very impressed. The two of you take me back to the 60's -70's when their was still not just energy in the music, but real joy in a craft extremely done. Keep on rocking and bluesin girls. For a little different twist check out The Cactus Blossoms they like you are siblings but with an Everly Brothers/country swing sound. Also on youtube latest is track called Mississippi
Wow! this is on my memory lane today. 8 years ago since i stumbled on this music video here on youtube and it became a favorite of mine after hearing it, for a time. I almost forgot this cool piece existed. Glad I still memorize it! ❤️❤️❤️
When I first heard this I thought, "Hey! ABBA!" I'm 70 years old, but I still have a fondness for the layered vocals of ABBA. Now I'm curious about the other material on the Kin album.
