"With the competent production and tight backing band providing a solid foundation, Rebecca and Megan have continued to develop their sound from their previous albums, while still providing new and engaging ingredients. Although there are new elements in the compositions, a strong sense of continuity remains, and their already distinctive stamp stays at the forefront. This stamp, of course, refers to heavy rock, modern-sounding guitars and intense vocals crashing against the soul-filled, heavy on lap steel and slide, roots backdrop ... Blood Harmony is yet another album that solidifies Larkin Poe as one of the premier acts of the global blues rock scene".

"A roaring, impassioned set that leaves no doubt about who the queens of contemporary Southern blues rock are, and will likely stay, for the foreseeable future".

"A slithering resonator guitar note glides through "Deep Stays Down," the opening track on Larkin Poe's new album, Blood Harmony, snaking its way through a hypnotic Mississippi blues. The swampy rhythm evokes the murkiness of a society in which secrets remain buried from generation to generation - "the river runs deep and the deep stays down" - never to be revealed until the skeletons are dug up. That opening song reveals the musical force and songwriting ingenuity that the band, led by sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, spools out on the rest of the album ... Blood Harmony showcases Larkin Poe's command of the blues, and their ability to write and deliver songs that reveal the shadows and light through which we pass in our everyday world. Even in the midst of the blues there still resides hope and joy, and Larkin Poe leads us through to that other side".
