Once I Was An Eagle is Laura Marling's fourth album in five years, and she's still just 23. It's been an accelerated artistic growth but Marling hasn't put a foot wrong yet. Once I Was An Eagle features a reduced cast of - predominantly - Marling and regular producer Ethan Johns. The English Joni ruthlessly dissects her love life on this confessional album. It's a beautifully melodic collection that hits engaging heights.
