Master Hunter - Laura Marling
from the album Once I Was An Eagle (2013)
Side Two of Led Zeppelin III contains five songs - Gallows Pole, Tangerine, That's The Way, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, & Hats Off To (Roy) Harper - that stand apart from the rest of their catalogue for their transition away from blues towards acoustic folk. Kind of like Dylan in reverse.
The thing I always dig about these songs is the sound of Jimmy Page's guitar. The tones are so incredibly rich in texture, sounding different from American folk, with a muscularity that I equate with the Welsh countryside where the songs were composed.
On Laura Marling's spectacular release Once I Was An Eagle, my favorite song is Master Hunter. The primary reason is that this song captures the tone of Jimmy Pages acoustic performance unlike any other song I am aware of. The recording of the drums also rings of Zeppelin.
Above this musical backdrop is an inspired vocal performance. It is marvelously well-suited for the music. Confident, sultry, and modern. She can really sing.
