The transition to the outro really give me a thrill. Megan's slide is always that good.
Absolutely Love this! All parts are excellent, but the slide is truly exceptional. Duane Allman is smiling down on this!

As an old Clapton fan, frankly, I didn't think you could pull this off, but your record remains unbroken - never a bad cover. Excellent slide, as usual, and the two of you make for a spectacular set of voices. I'm suitably impressed!

I have to say this was one of their worst covers. I say that as long time fan of LP. But, of all songs, with Duane’s iconic slide work on it, I think M needed to do more with the solo. The vocal, too. Hey, they’re great and gave it a shot, but this one deserves more work.

Oh yes "I know what time is, time is a thief..........." Still one of their greatest songs, one of my favorite songs. Love it.
The tone of that slide is amazing
A masterpiece, containing all the elements of the original played and sung by a duo. Megan and Rebecca you are both brilliant musicians. 👏
OMFG. Casual brilliance. They ALWAYS make covers their own - and the result is always stunning.
Layla is my favorite rock/blues song thank you for giving us your version, there cannot be too many covers of it. Erick Clapton's version is stunning with his vocals, I can't wait to hear your harmony ladies. I hope its an electric guitar version.
My favourite song, played by my favourite band these days....this is gonna be great, Duane will surely be pleased wherever he is. Thanks veey much in advance, ladies, I'm sure that, even after having listened to this song thousands of times, it's gonna give me the goosebumps once again 😍😍
Don't forget some love for Bobby Whitlock on this song. He was more than just a supporting actor in Derek and the Dominos.

Carl Radle, anyone? Melodic bass lines that became a feature of his interplay with Bobby Whitlock from prior times with Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. Long gone (1980) and Jim Gordon on drums.

Not to mention live albums like George Harrison’s “Concert for Bangladesh” and Joe Cocker’s “Mad Dogs & Englishmen.” Was there a great album of the 1970s on which the name Carl Radle *didn’t* show up in the credits? 👍

You can hear the southern soul that Bobby Whitlock brought to the Domino’s in Rebecca and Megan’s version of this classic. It is a feeling that can’t be faked. Based upon that feeling, is why I believe this version tugged at so many heartstrings!
Props Megan for your take on one of the most iconic slide parts in music.
I have cherished the Derek and the Dominos album for a long time. And Layla is one of my favorite songs. Eric and Duane delivered a masterpiece. Your version is awesome. The vocals and especially the slide guitar are super. Thank you for keeping the music alive
You girls never cease to amaze with your musicianship and great taste in music.
65 year old man here and this brought tears to my eyes. It's great how you two lady's are caring the torch and bringing back emotion in music. :-) Peace
Simply one of the greatest bands of modern day. Rebeccas voice is out of this world and Megan’s slide playing rivals the likes of Duane Allman. You guys are awesome! And if you like this you should check out Rebeccas husband and his band Tyler Bryant and the shakedown. Rock on everybody and stay safely at home 💜💜

Not Cream but Clapton hit his, straps when Layla was released. Lark n Poe you've got me on my knees. Lark n Poe you covered it with ease. Fabulous.

You covered the vocals and slide!!!!! How AWESOME!!!
RebL and Slide Queen do it again. Not only are you the best, but also the most productive and hard working musicians I have ever seen. You deserve everything you have worked so hard for!
Yes, yes, and yes! You did Eric, Derek, and Dwayne justice. That put a big smile on my face. Great job!!!
The best part is the smile you exchange with each other at the end. I just love you guys.
Always, the sisters are always this good,. Thanks y’all!
Blew me away again ❤️Slide Queen your magic on the lap steel is a gift to us all ❤️🇨🇦🖤🖤
Was looking for a female fronted version of this song as in a female fronted band…. Excellent job ladies….. the slide sounds great! Nailed it.
I am just going to sit here and wait. Rebecca and Megan are the best! Love this song Layla and my favorite is the acoustic version that Eric does on Unplugged. Go get it ladies!
I love how you two carry the torch and bring new life to all the amazing songs you cover. Your enthusiasm & passion are exceeded only by the joy you bring to this ole boy’s heart. ❤
Ive been following you 2 for years...my whole family love you now too...i made sure they watched you on the CMAs and your Anthem performance. You will win a CMA someday!!!
Utterly fantastic playing as always, and am always blown away by the incredible tone to Rebecca’s vocals.
The slide queen does it again!
That whole ending was just perfect. You guys are awesome.
Nothing better to brighten my day than to see you two gorgeous ladies jamin out a classic 70s iconic hit..love both you girls…Tim..
I was not ready for that voice. Holy crap, dude. Love her voice. Powerful.
I absolutely love this cover “Layla” by Derek and The Dominos. Rebecca is absolutely the perfect singer for the cover and Megan is superb on the steel guitar.
Goosebump inducing, especially when the slide comes in at the outro. So good!
Goosebumps ladies. Thanks a bunch.
i love the way every cover sounds nothing like the original - completely unique.
Flippin’ Fantastic and, oh my, the slide work just keeps getting higher in the stratosphere! Give these powerful women a 30-min show w half originals and half these powerful covers. Maybe that’ll push them through to the top. TBH, part of me doesn’t want them to blow up. Remarkable Talent!
That slide tone is other worldly. A fantastic rendition in every respect.
God this is beautiful!! BRING ON THE 7 MINUTE VERSION!! 🤣
Simply amazing you ladies are, thanks for putting your songs on KZread
One more outstanding cover by Larkin Poe ......well worth watching and listening to !
oh my. brought tears to my eyes.
Just fantastic guitars, guitars, soul feeling just lu it. Huge thnx to the fabulous Musicians
Thank you ladies, absolutely breathtaking.
thank you so much for not skipping the ending, that was beautiful!
Just love how you own it with your own touches.
Emotionally moving... nice interpretation of the coda.
Holy heck, you guys are just too much. That said, I KNEW this would be great when I saw that you girls were covering this song. Bless you 2!
EXCELLENT LARKIN POE. 👍 💣
This is EPIC! You are outstanding extraterrestical humans and musicians!
I love listening to them doing covers !!!
It makes my Heart spring, when i hear sutch a Music. Greetings from Bavaria/Germany.
Gotta be the best cover of this song I personally have seen. You ladies are just pure brilliant.
Thank you very much for this moments.It's a pleasure to see and hear you playing!
Brilliantly done. I daresay I prefer this one as my favourite version from now on.
I really can’t express how good a slide player you are. Please supergroup with Derek Trucks, mind blowing

Love everything y'all do! So much talent!
Девчонки, жгите ещё! Класс!
Truthfully, anything they do with a band that I've seen can't hold a candle to these direct, straight forward, no fills acoustic covers. They remind me a great deal of fretkillr from years ago. Great, unadorned arrangements and flawless delivery of timeless classics. What's not to love? They must have posted 2 hours of these. I'm a guitar tutor near Wellington, New Zealand. Several of my private students are female. Everytime LP posts a YT video I send out a mass text to all of them. LP has small, but loyal fan base here. One of them has gotten a dobro and is learning how to play it. I'm a functional slide player and we've gotten into the basics and she LOVES it. Now they've pretty much devoured all of the Lovell Sisters/Larkin Poe material they can find on YT. Gone to their website. As a result my female student are outstripping the males in terms of development. They see someone like them being badazz and they want to be like them. So, thank you ladies. When you come down under make sure you book a date in Wellington. The girls are waiting to see you in person.
You got see this great female group live. These two women are up there with the old school blues rock best.
Yes! My favorite Clapton song! Now it's my favorite LP cover! The lapsteel sounds so unique in this song Megan! Rebecca always on point with great guitar and amazing vocals by you both as usual! I enjoy how well you two harmonize
Oooh baby childs! Thank you for putting on these little much needed shows!! Love that slide queen!!
Brought a tear. Thanks.
Mahalo Megan and RebL! It was fun watching you go through your process of working out Layla and now we see the finished product! LPTV is a great venue!
She's taken that lap steel to another level!
Amazing!! It really got me !! I love this version!! Thank you for including the riffs of the original electric version and the outro solo!!
Beautiful !
Well done, ladies! Thank you from France, where everybody loves you!
This is one of the most beautiful covers I have ever heard. And it was the right version of Layla too that I have been looking for, but didn't know who sang it. Thank you ladies for doing this cover.
As always, a unique but tasteful arrangement to your Tip O' the Hat covers. For a song recorded in a bedroom with just the two of you using a smart phone or similar low tech recording instrument with no engineering, Auto Tune or other tricks this shows the raw talent of Rebecca and Megan. Bravo Lovell's! Thank you for continuing to provide these little treats. It has meant a lot to the world during CV19 as well as a way for us to remain connected even when you're not able to tour in the US just yet. We appreciate y'all's contributions to music, both your own and tributes to those who came before.
Wonderful, as always. I love how she hits the high points of the original guitar solo while "sliding" some of her own notes in there. And the vocals are fire...natch.
Imagine if Megan and Robert Randolph and Derek Trucks ever got together and did a slide jam session. It would be incredible.
I may be old, but beautiful music like this gets me emotional. Thank you.
Awesome cover of one of the most iconic songs ever.
Outstanding, thank you. Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality. Respect.
Best cover I have ever seen of this.
Whoa! What a great interpretation of this classic tune. I LOVE their version. The steel guitar does a great job.
Everything you do nearly brings me to tears, in a good way
Killer! I've never seen a minimalist version of this tune nail the spirit so well. Nicely done!
Lovely. I'm sure we all feel this way but its as if they are singing to me.. 🙏💜 Love y'all's shine! Ty
You sure keep yourself busy but I really appreciate all the videos you put out on this channel. Your originals are fantastic but your covers are also amazing. Thank you.
Amazing ... playing .. Awsome
The slide guitar is so very sweet!!! Excellent work on this, sounds so good!!
Omg those harmonies! Slide Queen/Harmony Goddess!
Love, love, love this! There’s one thing only keeping it from being absolutely perfect: there is no high harmony on the last word of the chorus “mind”, which is key for spine tingling effect. And I’m sure these two awesome voices would pull it off masterfully.
Might be my favorite of their non-blues covers. Nice. Love Megan's work especially on this.
OMG🗣️MEGAN‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ i Knew you were magnificent, but i didn't know you were PHENOMENAL🤯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
This is the best that I've heard you sound. Guitar, vocals, those harmonies oh my and Megan's slide ❤
