Larkin Poe - Tip O' the Hat - Various Cover Versions (2017)

I'm a very big fan of Larkin Poe. They should be hugely popular. They're good songwriters, musically talented, young, and beautiful. I've already posted one album of theirs, which contains acoustic versions of some of their recent songs.

As good as their own songs are, it also is a treat for them to perform covers. Since June 2017, they've had a feature on their YouTube channel called "Tip O' the Hat." Here's how they describe it on their channel:

"To build a fire of creativity, you need fuel. As artists, we aspire to keep learning the songs that move and inspire us. Art begets art. While we’re at it, we want you to share in the experience — these are some of the songs that have shaped us."

To that end, they release steady series of videos of them performing cover songs, about once a week. The recordings are spontaneous and lo-fi - they just sit down in front of a webcam and play the songs without any overdubs or assistance, just the two of them and a guitar or two. They have very wide ranging musical tastes which happen to overlap closely with mine. Most of the songs they choose have been hits, except that the blues are a big part of their sound so they often play blues classics, sometimes fairly obscure ones.

I've gathered up all the Tip O' the Hat performances and made albums out of them, of about 45 minutes each. This one is just the first. I haven't included most of the songs they've done, but not all of them. Sometimes, I don't include the song because they've done it in better sound quality elsewhere. But sometimes i just wasn't that impressed by their performance, and I want to keep the quality level high.

If you want to hear some of the best songs of all time played acoustically by two kickass female musicians, this is the album for you!
