Blue and Sentimental (Larkin Poe on Late Night Basie)

Post by Nic Neufeld »

This is a collaboration on an album of Count Basie covers:

Thought you guys might like it. There's nothing technically too sophisticated about those steel lines (on the surface) but played with just the right touch, reminds me how you can kind of play the same notes as Santo Farina, but it's much harder to capture the feel/sound.

While it doesn't have Megan on it, Rebecca Lovell did vocals on a nice collab album with Christoph Mueller (Home) that has a couple old GAS tunes like this (Lilac Wine, Georgia on my Mind) that is pretty nice as well, this reminded me of it.

The video is, on second viewing, a touch odd...obviously not accurately matched to their playing...Megan appears to have a Rogue or similar guitar? Made me wonder...looks almost like an AI generated video, who knows! Somebody has to program that AI to have better taste in steel guitars!
