Larkin Poe - Acoustic, 2014-2017

Personally, I think popular music hit a high point in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. That's not to say there still isn't lots of good music coming out today though. One great recent act is Larkin Poe. They're two sisters who write quality songs, sing well, and play great guitar. I like that they have their own style, but they also very much are standing on the shoulders of giants, drawing a lot from the blues, folk, rock, country, and so on of earlier generations.

Unfortunately, their recorded output so far is a mess. They often have put out EPs instead of proper albums, or they've done things like releasing a new album with half of the songs repeated from the previous album. If you only have their few albums so far, you'd only get a partial picture of how good they really are.

I'm going to try to fix that with a number of alternate albums from them. The first one here is all acoustic material that comes from various appearances at radio stations. They can definitely rock out, but they've got the versatility to be just as impressive in an acoustic mode.
