Title - 'Self Made Man'
Artist - Larkin Poe
For those not in the know, Rebecca & Megan Lovell of Larkin Poe are singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist sisters creating their own brand of Roots Rock 'n' Roll: gritty, soulful, and flavored by their southern heritage.
Originally from Atlanta and currently living in Nashville, they are actually real-life descendants of tortured artist and creative genius Edgar Allan Poe.
After a remarkable two-year run that saw them earn a Grammy Award nomination for their last chart-topping studio album while touring the world from Nashville to New Zealand and back again, Larkin Poe have returned with what is undeniably their most wide-reaching, artistically adventurous, and self-determined work to date.
Once again taking the producer reins and releasing on their own Tricki-Woo Records label, Self Made Man (released June 12th, 2020) sees the multi-instrumentalist sister duo pushing their music and message towards hitherto unexplored terrain.
1. 'She's a Self Made Man'

Inspired by their epic world travels, yet still powerfully rooted in the creative heritage of their beloved American South, they open with the powerful rock opera vibe of 'She's a Self Made Man,' back that up with the rock hipsway of 'Holy Ghost Fire,' and then bring us the more melodically leveled 'Keep Diggin', the lowdown blues of 'Back Down South,' and the upbeat, lighter guitar work of the nostalgic, finger-snappin' 'Tears of Blue to Gold.'
'God Moves on The Water' is a Gospel-vibed, hand-clappin' beauty and that's backed by the mid-tempo slide guitar, Eastern-infused rock of 'Every Bird That Flies,' and then comes one of my own personal favorites, the hard-hitting, Chicago blues of 'Scorpion.'
This quite vibrant and yet fully grounded album then rounds out with some brilliant bluesy guitar work found on 'Danger Angel,' the rough and ready 'Ex-Con,' and then comes to a close on the upbeat and perky, clap-long melodies of the late night, front porch-esque feel of 'Easy Street.'
