Description
With their fourth album Venom & Faith Larkin Poe fuel their already enthusiastic following with probably their best record yet. Venom & Faith is yet another testament to their innovation as artists. With a blues-roots-rock sound, this sister duo honors their Southern history and hurls it into the present.
Already long-recognized as artists with extraordinary talent by luminaries such as Elvis Costello, expect this confident and sometimes rule-breaking collection to prove him right. This might be ‘Roots’ music at its core, but don’t let the lap steel fool you. The Lovell sisters channel just as much of Ann and Nancy Wilson’s rock spirit as they do the Dixie Chicks’ twang.
Opening an album with a cover song pays off as Bessie Jones’ “Sometimes” lets you know that Blues tradition will be honored but with an unexpected twist. Handclaps and door slam rhythmic elements blend with synth pads, rat-a-tat snare drums and marching band horns to drive home the message “just get on board,” …and you will.
