Laura Marling

I Speak Because I Can

2010

Alternative Singer/Songwriter

Laura Marling's second album evokes the feel of side 2 of Led Zeppelin III or if Nick Drake did a summer internship with Joni Mitchell. The production is lush while the lyrics are folky and acerbic, giving a mist-soaked and peat-mossy impression. Stark, beautiful and haunting.

- Zac Johnson

John Denver

Rhymes & Reasons

1969

Folk-Rock

RCA tested the waters by filling John Denver's 1969 debut with reliable covers like "When I'm Sixty-Four" and "The Love of the Common People." However, the four Denver originals, most notably "Leaving On A Jet Plane," captured the ears and hearts of what would eventually become an enormous fan base.
