I don’t want to fall in love with Larkin Poe said no one ever. What a masterful rendition of a masterpiece. Bravo.

Seriously…..these sisters (if they want to) will be on top for……ever?. Even if they changed their mind NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET THEM. I’m so pleased that they’ve chosen to continue. Might this mean “ Mad as a hatter” will become available on an album eventually? Every ones asking girls. Js

I finally understand what it was like for Odysseus when he heard the Sirens. This is truly magical :)
As much as I love Larkin Poe's Southern Blues Rock performances, these quieter moments are my favorites.
Dear friends, the world is in serious need of an album of songs like that.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with you there my friend. This one had the hairs on my neck standing up way before Rebecca started singing. The Slide Queen had my heart from the first note, then when the vocals started I was gone and done for.

A cover that actually smashes it out of the park. Stripped down, those high notes and harmony, just wow.
I wonder if Chris Isaak knew what this song could become in the hands of such great artists? Simple, wholehearted, beautiful. Stunning

This had me in tears and sent shivers up and down my spine oh man Rebecca and Megan at the top of their skills makes this old mans heart beat and feel again.
Very, very few and rare times I've watched a video of musicians and got chills over the emotions and vocal timbre. This is the moment when the universe aligns. Well done Rebecca & Megan. Well done.
This is a GREAT song anyway, but it’s as good as it comes for Megan’s slide. It lets Rebecca show her vocal range too. In other words, this is another A+. Don’t know how you all can get much better, but I can’t wait to hear where you go next.

Can be anywhere, that stunning gospel out of “th color purple, it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, with the RatPak and Ella F. Or maybe a fierce, haunting flamenco with Carmen Linares or Bachs Toccata Fuga, the intro rocks my boat. Death letter by Son House or the accapella version of motherless children by Tina Turner. And this one you may not know, Heavenless by Ilse de Lange live. And a lot more. But this Wicked Game, man I so much agree with you. It moves ya, it’s that good!
Slide solo was another level...
Megan’s’ approach and attack on her instrument is so awesome. It’s a nice contrast. Her vocals are extremely complimentary. Great musician!... both of them.
I simply don't understand how you two lovely people smash these covers every single time! This one is one of your VERY best! Soulful, so, so sad but so uplifting! Please let's have a version of Love's Signed DC. It's begging for you! Much respect and grateful thanks. See you in the UK (again) next year!
Oh my freaking goodness. One of my all time favourites getting the Larkin Poe special sauce.

If any song was begging for a LP treatment, it was this one, and the ladies do not disappoint! Outstanding!!
They smile really big when singing "Nobody loves no one" because they know it's not true - these two obviously love each other very deeply.
... Rebecca: Your voice touches me so deep! .... Megan : Your slideguitar is killing me! 🤩☺
James Wilsey is smiling over this one... well done ladies.
There are many cover versions of this song, but this is one of the best…
Just outstanding! I never tire of Megan's skill on that lap steel. Touche'
This is probably _THE_ best cover I've ever heard of this song.

On the verge of tears at the start, then the vocals… I just lost it
This performance breaks my heart. The dust of the desert.
I've heard this song hundreds of times, but the tragedy and heartbreak never really resonated with me until I heard your version. The two of you are such a force. Brava.
You two have done it again. I can’t believe the emotion you put into playing this Chris Isaak song. Or maybe it’s the emotion you bring out of me listening to it. Which ever it is, it’s so deep, so massive, I love it. I love your ability to move me in this way. Thank you. Thank whatever force in the universe it is that has brought you here, now.
Of all your covers, and you’ve done some great ones, this is my new favorite. As others have already said, Rebecca’s lead vocal along with Meghan’s harmonies this time are just mesmerizing, and the slide break, well, it’s outstanding!

Hi 👋🏻 I’m back because I had to say something. I very recently discovered your band. Now a couple nights ago I was brought to tears when I found Mad as a hatter. I live in Ohio, born and raised. Over two years ago my father was taken away, house car and everything sold and put in a home in Georgia. Thank you ladies from the bottom of my ❤️. Your music has touched me and is helping me through a trying, dark time right now. I am grateful 🙏🏻 GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. ✌🏻❤️🎶
Chris Isaak is hard to cover well. This is great. Megan's slide work brings a whole new dimension to it
from 2:02 to 2: 00 I was compelled to let the tears flow unbelievable passion and all the guitar licks are pure killer
Breathtaking. I knew Rebecca would unleash her howling vocal at some point (about the 2 miiinutes in) and it cuts through to take the song to a new level. The extra treat is that Megan not only covers the signature tone and licks, but then she throws in great single note improv toward the end that also elevates the work, and her musicianship, to a new level. The constant steady building of the artistry of these two troubadors is remarkable and not ony enjoyable, but soothing and soulful, especially in a song that contemplates sorrow and loss like this one. They done ya proud Chris!
Living this song now. Bone chilling realness.
O.M.G. I've heard this song performed by many famous and not so famous musicians, but never has any one of them brought tears to my eyes until now. The passion is overwhelming in you two. Signed- Fan For Life
Absolutely outstanding in every way. Can't praise this performance enough from the great song choice to Rebecca's powerful lead vocal. From Megan's amazing harmony vocal to her sublime lap-steel playing. Perfect.
LP covers are usually pretty damn good, but every now and then they do one that gives you chills. This is one of them.
Is there anything these two can't do? Yet another stunner.
Ah for Christ sake!! Ye didn't even give us a chance!! 😂😍😍
The talent on display here is staggering
Yes yes! Larkin Poe are the best of the best!
The queens of rock and slide....
Atmospherically Mystical !!! Teaching us their haunting klezmer melodies !!! . . . . Boo & Moo, heading to a volcanic, black sand beach near you !!! Great job Ladies !!! You ROCK !!!
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and these two have made it more beautiful.....
I woulda never EVER thought it possible to do this particular song justice 🤘💜🤘💜😘 but THEY DID IT!
Oh these Sisters are something else ❤❤❤
Yay!!! One of my all time favorite songs, by my favorite Blues sister duo! :) Mama's ears are happy :)
As many have said, this is a great cover. Love the spare, dry approach, dynamic build, restrained guitars (til the lap steel solo, which pops like crazy). No place to hide here at all, and no need for one. Harmonies not too shabby either. Bravo!
Simply incredible. Ladies, I tip my hat.
That folks is how it's done. Real musicians, real instruments, real singers, no loops, no auto tune, just pure talent. Well done ladies, I first saw you when you opened for Bob Seger in St. Paul. Killer show, been a big fan ever since.
It blew my head. I don't remember when a cover made for two voices and two guitars squeezed tears from my eyes. You were so overwhelmingly convincing, as you really made the journey back to 1989. This look of each other, at the end of the piece, reminds me that this journey didn't really take place physically or that you just came back to the present. Congratulations on your sensitivity and artistry. Thank you for a nice Sunday morning, I won't waste it.
Might be the best version I've heard ever Wow Girls. !!😑😎 absolutely haunting
This is Amazing! Please put it on an album 💜
This world is only gonna break your heart. It broke mine!!! Jesus put me back together. There were so many pieces, but he knew just where they all fit!!!
I've been ignoring this on my feed for three days - thought I'd heard it. No I hadn't! As a musician myself, I might have tried it with Rebecca doing the "This World is only going to break your heart" alone and softer, but they might have tried that and decided this worked better. As near perfect as it possible to get. What stunning arrangers they both are! They do this time after time; taking old songs and doing them in ways they've never been done before. Probably my favourite band.

The accoustic 🙆 just draws you!
Once again, a great song stripped to its bones and the last drop of sublimity extracted. Pure sound. And that's one darkbright slide slipping thru.
Such an Awesome song! You 2 poured your HEARTS into this! I got chills Literally!!!!
Captivating, heart breaking, evocative - Larkin Poe at their best. I'm already in love.

So good! Right in the feels! 3 chords and a whole lot 'o magic.
Exceptional guitar work, slide, beautiful harmony, Rebecca's thrilling range AND falling into MEGHAN"S EYES!!
At first, you think there are only two vocalists. But then you realize Megan’s slide is the third voice that is the foundation of the song. As she runs that slide up and down the strings, your soul is grabbed and slides in harmony. Superb - absolutely superb 😊❤️
Hauntingly beautiful. One of the best covers to depict the pain and longing of the song.
So much soul, and such a passionate performance! Chris Isaak is digging it, for sure. Both ladies really shine on this piece. LP just keeps getting better and better with every cover they do. Keep them coming!
Another special moment lost in the shapes of sound, swallowed by feelings, made whole by connection to something larger than ourselves... music. Thanks Larkin Poe.
