So nice when Megan's microphone is loud enough to blend with Rebecca's strong vocals.

They're seriously so talented. How have they not made it big? Every single song of theirs is amazing (covers included). I can't remember the last band I could say that about

Don't usually comment but this was so beautiful I had to say thank you.
Brother James must be touched, moved and very proud to hear his song in this way! You made me cry.....

Wow, wow, wow.
It seems impossible that more people aren't talking about Rebecca's voice. I have to believe that she will be a household name someday. A true vocalist. So, so good.

So true. As good as anyone.
There's no beating around the bush here, I just love this. There is such a comforting feeling to the song and performance that really warms the heart on a cold winter's day. Those harmonies are so gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful as well. And how about the slide solo...really speaks to the soul. ❤

You said all that needs to be said. It's a perfect rendition of this already beautiful tune. ❤
Just wonderful, love hearing more of Megan singing
You can have the toughest week at work. Your life may have collapsed all around you. But when you come home and listen to this, the only thing you feel is happiness and bliss. Keep it up!
James Taylor's story behind the song explains this song's complex beginning. LP's version can't get any sweeter. I will have to watch this many times.❤️❤️
The last five years ( since I'm active on Social media etc.) ... there are only two musicians who really had an impact on me, my friend Justin Johnson ... and of course Megan, such an awesome brilliant slide player ... Megan's style of playing is very intoxicating, and made me pickup and old parlour guitar and convert it to a slide guitar .... strangely enough, I found that guitar discarded with some ones household waste ... at a time when I really wanted to play slide ( but couldn't afford to buy one of those nice slide guitars) ... Either way, the Lovell Sisters are both amazing musicians and song writers 10/10 🙏👍🎶
Voices as angels
This arrangement is too beautiful and the lap steel is wonderful....😍
Whether it be the blues, folk songs, or country & western music, or a combination of all of them, Larkin Poe rules it all!
...and everytime these heavenly sent ladies play and sing a song...I close my eyes...and let them take me away on a little journey... THANK YOU LADIES..🎶🎸🎶
This is one of your best covers. The recording quality is great. Beautiful.
I loved meghans soft perfect tone added to rebeccas strong raspy voice. Meghan really brought James Taylor’s soft, clear, and heartfelt emotion to this. Kickass cover!
Whole lots of emotional with all of that talent. Bless you both and thanks to the universe to bringing you to us all.
Justin Timberlake brought "sexy back" (or so he claimed). Larkin Poe is bringing talent back! Well done as always ladies.

How dare you mention that nincompoop...
What a joy to hear you singing together from beginning to end. Lovely tune. You put a lot of heart into it. Stunning slide!
Sibling harmonies are often just perfect! (Like these sisters..) You have some families where all voices are covered. (Soprano, alto, tenor, base) and it just reminds me how people should have lots of kids!! It's a blessing!!
I used to play this song years ago. Still as good an aching heart song as ever written.

My soul needed this..
A great fan of James ‘Fire & Rain’ Taylor, and this song in particular, but only Larkin Poe made me well-up inside when I listened to it. These ladies have something truly remarkable, and I luv ‘em!
My dad used to sing me to sleep with this song, and I used to sing it to my partner when we first got together and they had insomnia from chronic pain. It means a lot to me -- I'm glad people are still singing it
I just enjoy watching y'all perform! Makes an old guy very happy! The music is awesome, the slide and finger picking I'd phenomenal, and y'all have beautiful voices. P.S. Y'all ain't bad to look at neither, Lolololololol! Just kidding thank you for being you and making me love blues even more than I already do, chuck earp

Ahhhh, the sisters do it again ... put a smile on my face and tear in my eye.
Nothing can beat two sisters singing lovely harmony. Perfect!
You Can Close Your Eyes, Kiss from a Rose, Wicked Game, Jolene, White Linen, Absolutely Wonderful. I need more hours in my day to Love your covers!!! ❤❤❤
I think you’ve found the song to use as your close-the-show, final encore song when you perform live again. After a couple hours of fireworks, I can’t think of anything better to have in my head walking out into the night.
Love the Jazzmaster. Which she used to use a lot more. It's actually very interesting how many country players (also studio cats) used Jazzmasters instead of the guitar most associated with country the Telecaster or Americana (the Stratocaster). But of course in the end it is in the fingertips. And the Lovell sisters have golden fingertips. 💜
Grammy award winning!
It's clear that you ladies have a personal connection to this song. Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you👍❤
"I can't sing the Blues anymore" ...... especially after watching this ... beautiful !
Quelle belle reprise de ce titre connu par James Taylor et Carly Simon !!! Très belles harmonies vocales et quel bonheur d' entendre Miss Megan chanter toute la chanson avec sa petite soeur. Félicitations !
This is so beautiful sounding. Thank you. Covid spread. Being out of work. My autism. My depression I really needed your beautiful voices today. You made me feel happy. Thank you so very much.
I'm lost for words and tears are flowing, here. Absolutely breathtaking.
Imagine having a brother or sister to make and play music with, that’s beautiful! I love watching your videos, you girls are truly great. Inspirational!
Two beautiful voices, two Angels
you know how to bring tears to an old wolfs eyes.....Thank you’ll!!
What must it be like for James Taylor to hear this gorgeous rendering of his words and music...

James featured this on his Instagram account so it would seem that he really likes it.
You two possess such a beautiful chemistry it's magic. I adore this song thanks for this beautiful cover
I can’t even articulate how lovely this is.
This is the way everyone should know this song
Agree with all these comments. These ladies are just flat out talented. I haven't seen a video yet that I don't love. The singer/song writer genre is alive and well. Thanks Larkin Poe.
Cannot. Stop. Listening.
Oh man, more james taylor songs please!
Ladies! This is one of the songs of my life...especially after this. Soon as it's on I-tunes, it's going on my phone next to 'Peach'.

This one should have been on Kindred Spirits!
Fabulous. So many don't know the music of James Taylor beyond a few tunes, let alone all the blues you two play. keep it all coming please!!
Always brings tears to my eyes. A divorce song from 46 years ago with Linda Ronstadt.
If I could sit at your feet when you sing like this I think I would just smile with tears rolling down my face. You both sing in such a lovely way.
Always a pleasure for the ears!!! Such an emotional song, performed by 2 of the greatest musicians of today! Beautiful - Thank you
I mean, just wow.... This is the most refreshing version of this song I have ever heard! So much passion from these amazing women :)
When the Lovell sisters sing together on their folk or country music, it's the magic sound.
So musical. Not easy to do James Taylor. These two are pure magic.
Absolutely beautiful! And I usually hate everything.
Exquisite. Every time I listen to these two women they get better. I don't know how they do it, but they do.
Best cover ever. I love harmonizing with it
OMG!!! Chills, smiles, tears from this great song with you giving it the LP touch....this song has been covered by some big time artist but your version is one of the best....love you ladies....been a fan since I came across your version of Preaching Blues a little over a year or so ago....Keep up the great music.....XOXXOOX
Do you know how good you two are? Live music and perfect pitch! Forget America's Got Talent. You do. In its rarest and raw form. Do more!
How many guy in their 60’s are walking around in Larkin Poe t shirts? Me for one...hope when this is behind us you make it to Maui...if not...I’ll come to you guys!
I keep listening to this song all day long all night long all of der cover’s like it love it live it sister’s larkin poe keep rockin roll
Such a powerful voice Megan 😇😇😇..It goes right down to the soul.. Keep singing Meg🙏🙏🙏💪
You Girls play with such feeling! Harkens back to old Neil and Ben Keith! Beautiful!
Beautiful harmony, beautiful instrumentation.
Beautiful harmonies. We really don't hear Megan sing often enough.

Wouldn’t it be rad to hear Megan do lead vocals, and Rebecca do the harmonizing/complimenting vocals? They have different styles, and both are gorgeous. Maybe Megan is cool with not doing lead vocals, but it would be lovely to hear it :’)

Megan has stated that she prefers to harmonize, rather than sing lead. I'm also kinda confused with these kind of statements.... Rebecca has one of the best voices around, but all anyone ever talks about is wanting to hear more of Megan while not many people compliment the amazing singing of Rebecca.

Perfekte Harmonie. Vielen Dank. Der Tag kann starten. Best wishes from Cologne
Beautiful. I saw James Taylor at Carnegie Hall in 1972 and he closed with this. Brings back such great memories.
Holy crap. So good. ❤️
From the first syllable I got goose bumps.
That was MOST EXCELLENT.
Larkin Poe ?? Simply human !! Thx for that. From FR.
One of my all time favorite JT songs !! Thanks girls ❤️ Love u both !!
The Everly Sisters.!! Great harmonies.!!
Absolutely stunning...such an amazing cover!
Well done! Until now, I felt that your down home blues as my favorite. As always, I love the blend of the harmonies and the tasteful slide licks. I hope James hears it.
Nothing beats extremely talented siblings making music together. You can feel exactly what the other is doing. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I wish you all the very best. Go Grammy candidates!!! I love your music!!!
Two very talented ladies paying great homage to this James Taylor masterpiece....also, just love the slide
Absolutely perfect! Keep up the great work girls. You're a phenomenon. One of the commenters here imagined hearing one of your renditions in a big coliseum. If that happens post covid I hope that we hear your vocals and the nuance of your harmonies and inflections way above anybody else who might be playing on stage with you. Maybe nobody would be best! Just the two of you. Just my opinion! I suppose one way to perform would be to do part of your show with just the two of you and then part of your show with a full band if you choose.
This is my favorite James Taylor song, it's just so beautiful. And you made it 100x more beautiful!
Always both Hauntingly Beautiful and Breathtakingly, Precisely Played with Loveand Feeling !!!!!
Such a beautiful rendition. Just perfect.
You girls just made me cry
This was beautiful. I so want to see you guys do a collaboration with Bonnie Raitt...i think your voices would mesh well and - dueling slide guitar. Hell yeah.
Sweet Jesus that's beautiful. oh my [edit] I keep coming back to this one. THIS ONE is haunting.
Wow. Rivals the original. Amazing yall.
Love Larkin Poe.
see two master at work. Sounds so good
As a musician myself I always loved singer/songwriters like James Taylor and this was an excellent rendition. Love it. ❤️
Love this song especially this version 🤗😎
Performances like this are what makes music legends.
I don't know how often I thought "This one can't work out" - and than it does! This is one of my favourite JT-Songs, and the cover is just beautiful 🙏
Two voices sounding as one. Great.
Smooth as silk harmonies and excellent steel guitar playing. Very emotional song well rendered.
When you sing a soft slow song like this, you are much better when you Harmonize together like this.
Oh, the sun is surely sinking down But the moon is slowly rising So this old world must still be spinning round And I still love you So close your eyes You can close your eyes, it's alright I don't know no love songs I can't sing the blues anymore Oh but I can sing this song You can sing this song when I'm gone It won't be long before another day We gonna have a good time And no one's gonna take that time away You can stay as long as you like Only close your eyes You can close your eyes It's alright Oh, I don't know no love songs I can't sing the blues anymore Sure but I can sing this song Yes and you can sing this song when I'm gone
that was on another level
Woooow, this is just SO beautiful, i love it :-)
This is one of my favorite JT songs, and the album it somes from *is* my favorite of his.
You two just blew me away. I am speechless.
Beautiful....harmonies , slide and rhythm guitar, nicely done...
Just ... Awesome ...
