RockerNRoller𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘺, 𝘭'𝘮 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯. Larkin Poe - 'Self Made Man'. ⚡🎸💿 (12 June 2020)<br> ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ <br> The Lowell sisters, known as Larkin Poe, delivered yet another solid album with their 2020 release, 'Self-Made Man'. This Americana/southern-roots rock duo has easily become one of my favourite artists in recent times. The seamless combination of Rebecca's powerful vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and tight rhythm sections, alongside Megan's slide guitar licks and backing vocals, has always been a standout feature that drew me to their evolving sound since their debut album. Highlights of this album include "She's A Self Made Man, "Holy Ghost Fire", "Back Down South", "Tears of Blue to Gold", and "God Moves On The Water" to name a few. Give this album a listen and enjoy!<br> ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/larkinpoe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#larkinpoe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/selfmademan?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfmademan</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rebeccalowell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rebeccalowell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/meganlowell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meganlowell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/album?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#album</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/record?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#record</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LP?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LP</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vinyl?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vinyl</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vinylcollection?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vinylcollection</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/recordcollection?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recordcollection</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vinylcommunity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vinylcommunity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vinylcollector?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vinylcollector</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/discogs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#discogs</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vinyloftheday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vinyloftheday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/33rpm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#33rpm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/americana?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#americana</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/countryrock?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#countryrock</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/southernrock?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#southernrock</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bluesrock?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluesrock</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rocknroll?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rocknroll</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/music?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/review?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#review</a>
