Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

Venom & Faith
New - LP - none
Sealed 2018 pressing. Larkin Poe’s "Venom & Faith," released in 2018, is the third studio album from the Atlanta-born, Nashville-based sister duo Rebecca and Megan Lovell. The record showcases their signature blend of roots rock, blues, and Americana, driven by raw slide guitar, gritty vocals, and stomping rhythms. The album’s title references the balance between bitterness and sweetness, reflected in tracks like "Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues" and "Honey Honey." Throughout "Venom & Faith," the Lovell sisters handle nearly all instrumentation themselves, layering lap steel, resonator guitar, and percussion to create a stripped-down yet powerful sound. The vinyl edition accentuates this authenticity, capturing the analog warmth and immediacy of their performances, making listeners feel as if they’re in the room with the band. Critically praised—earning a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album—the record stands as a modern blues statement that honors tradition while pushing genre boundaries. For vinyl enthusiasts, "Venom & Faith" offers a dynamic listening experience: its punchy production, deep grooves, and soulful harmonies are best appreciated in analog, where the textures of slide guitar and the sisters’ harmonies come alive with compelling presence and energy. more
