It is so good to hear the Bob Dylan influences in one of the voices leading the new generation of folkies or nu-folk. If you can't hear the Dylan influences on "Master Hunter" you better go back and listen to some old Dylan again... although, that's not punishment, you'll thank me. Anyway, back to Laura Marling, she has just (this week) released her 4th album 'Once I Was an Eagle' and it took me by surprise. After a Spotify listen it quickly became clear that this album is a keeper. The first four songs blend into each other like a 16 minute epic... or taken as a whole album, maybe a saga. Overflowing with heartbreak and introspection, 'Once I Was an Eagle' is a very personal album from an artist with a maturity way beyond her 23 years.
