    Rebecca has a fantastic voice. Sledgehammer doesn’t exactly lend itself to a live performance by just two, but they smash it. Lyrics not exactly intended to be sung by women, either - witness the occasional smile between the sisters. Great stuff, terrific performance.

    That was a happy surprise with an acoustic guitar, and really good control on the style of playing. Peter's version is almost done with the "wall of sound", but Larkin Poe made the instruments stand out as skillfully mastered. Better than the original every time. So what is their secret to awesome all around performance? Wait, don't tell me, let the whole world wonder too.

    The key to the cover’s success is SPACE! The mind naturally fills in the pieces. As you tap your feet, it’s adding in percussion subconsciously. The simplicity of it all is why songs like this do so amazing. The more you try to add to get the “wall of sound”, the more you have to do to get it to work right.

    @@davebeach2343 I LOVE BB King! My mom used to put on his albums, and Aretha Franklin, and a lot of soul music, Young Rascals, Spencer Davis Group & Traffic, Beatles and more. There are times I love the “wall of sound”, but usually I prefer to let my mind naturally fill in the blanks. It was hard as a beginning guitar player (a couple or three decades ago) because I wanted to play to fill in the spaces my brain did on its own, and could never keep up. I had to slow the 45s down to 33 1/3 to realize the notes I was hearing in my head were my own harmonies and weren’t on tue record (we had a ton of records at home from the jukebox at my parents’ restaurant, every time they’d switch them out for new singles).

    This ought to be incredible. I'm a fan of the song by Peter Gabriel and an even bigger fan of Larkin Poe therefore I am excited to see what they rendered with their immaculate creativity and skill. Edit: I'd like to see these girls do a cover of Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer. I think Megan's slide would do justice of the horn section and Rebecca's gritty vocals would give a nice edge to the atmosphere of the song.
