Blood Harmony
Larkin Poe
Grammy Winner for Best Contemporary Blues Album
Blood Harmony affirms Larkin Poe as an essential force in shaping the identity of Southern rockโnโ roll, breathing new energy into the genre with both forward-thinking perspective and a decidedly feminine strength.
In a departure from the self-contained approach of past albums like 2020โs Self Made Manโpraised by American Songwriter as โpumped up for arena-sized consumption without compromising any of its stripped-down command and intensity.โ
LarkinPoe co-produced the new album alongside Texas-bred musician Tyler Bryant (also Rebecca’s husband).
With Megan handling harmony vocals, lap steel, and resonator guitar and Rebecca on guitar and keys, Larkin Poe also enlisted members of their longtime live band, including drummer Kevin McGowan and bassist Tarka Layman.
Mainly recorded at Rebecca and Tylerโs home studio, the result is an electrifying new work that fully harnesses the fiery vitality theyโve shown in touring across the globe, imbuing their songs with equal parts soulful sensitivity and thrilling-ferocity.
From the feverish guitar work of โBad Spellโ to the soul-stirring โSouthern Comfortโ and smoldering title track, Blood Harmony reveals a band in complete touch with their formidable intuition, their storytelling fortified with a blues-heavy sound that hits right in the heart.
โWhen steering by your own stars, you never quite know where youโre going to wind up,โ says Larkin Poe.
โOur true north is unique to us, and in following our true north without compromise, we have been out freewheeling this world on the ride of our lives.
And it still feels like just the beginning.
Blood Harmony is a creative step we are proud to have taken together as sisters. We grew these songs in a sweet part of our hearts and we hope they bring beauty.โ
