Grammy-nominated Americana duo Larkin Poe, made up of sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, have shared “Georgia Off My Mind,” the latest single and video from their upcoming album, Blood Harmony. Blood Harmony will arrive via their own Tricki-Woo Records on Friday, November 11th, 2022. Formats will include limited edition magenta colored vinyl, CD, cassette, and more.
Rebecca Lovell speaks about “Georgia Off My Mind”:
Like 99 percent of my songs, that song came into being at my kitchen table late in the evening. My husband and I stumbled into that line at the chorus – ‘Tennessee keep Georgia off my mind’ – and it turned into a love song for the stretch of I-24 that connects Atlanta and Nashville, which is a drive we’ve made thousands of times now.
In a departure from the self-contained approach of past albums like 2020’s Self Made Man, Larkin Poe co-Produced the new album alongside musician Tyler Bryant (also Rebecca Lovell’s husband). With Megan Lovell handling harmony vocals, lap steel, and resonator guitar, and Rebecca Lovell on guitar and keys, Larkin Poe also enlisted members of their longtime live band, including drummer Kevin McGowan and bassist Tarka Layman.
Larkin Poe comments on the album:
When steering by your own stars, you never quite know where you’re going to wind up. Our 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.
Larkin Poe are currently celebrating Blood Harmony on a marathon world tour, including North American dates as part of Willie Nelson & Family’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour continuing into October.
