Back Down South is the fourth and latest single from Larkin Poe’s upcoming new album Self Made Man slated to come out on June 12. They announced the release on Friday via their Twitter handle.
If you’ve visited my blog before, chances are you’ve seen previous posts I did on sisters Rebecca Lovell (guitar) and Megan Lovell (lap steel guitar). For this tune, they teamed up with Tyler Bryant, a 29-year-old blues rock guitarist from Texas, who based on Wikipedia seems to be some kind of wunderkind I should probably check out.
The tune is a nice illustration of Larkin Poe’s approach to blend traditional blues and rock with contemporary sounds like synth claps. Admittedly, I prefer real hand clapping or drums for that matter but also respect what I assume is an attempt to create a more updated sound.
Self Made Man definitely is on my radar screen.

Sounds really good Christian. I pointed someone the other day in their direction. Everything I hear from them I’ve liked.

I have liked some of their stuff from the earlier posts you’ve done on them. A few cuts from the last album.

I just really dig their energy and enthusiasm. They’re pretty darn good musicians as well. And, while of course they are not the first ones, I also kind of find it cool they are females. When it comes to rock, it’s still pretty male-dominated.
