Laura Marling, Beatles

If you don't know Laura Marling, you haven't lived.


Marling's drummer is, incidentally, Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons (see below).
I hope to catch her when I'm in London town!

On another note, in my recording engineering course we're recording "Lady Madonna."
As an honor to motherhood, I dedicate this song to my sister. Please, let's send positive thoughts to her and her child, they need it right now.



Some interesting tidbits about the song:
According to Ian MacDonald's Revolution in the Head (2008) the song's immediate influence was "Johnny Parker's boogiewoogie piano line on Humphrey Lyttleton's 'Bad Penny Blues'."

I hear it.


"First Beatles song to use Blues scale since "Good day Sunshine""
