I’ve played her stuff before. A little better singing than Ani DiFranco, and the writing is good enough for me. Laura Marling is truly a righteous babe. The only downside is that the songs all sound about the same. I liked “The Muse,” “Don’t Ask Me Why,” “The Beast,” and “Sophia,” which has a similar melody as “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” by John Denver, but again not much differentiates the songs.
Except for “My Friends.” This one stands out like a beacon above the rest. Like a lot of young singers, she’s still figuring it out. The sky continues to be the limit.
