Laura Marling - Wild Once

Laura is for me, the best pound for pound singer-songwriter in the world. Her lyrics are first class, her guitar playing is sublime, and her vocals are surprising (very good in the recording studio, yet they go to another level live). She is still well shy of thirty, yet has produced six LP's, all of a high quality, and with almost no song-writing help (Soothing aside). Some of her work (particularly off 'Once I Was An Eagle') is astonishing, and I am sure that time will prove the timeless quality of it all. This is my favourite song from her latest release, 'Semper Femina'. The Forum (Melbourne); June 11, 2017.
