Anybody who knows this space knows that we hold Joni Mitchell<\/strong> in the highest regard. \u00a0Her oeuvre remains above the fray of all other female musical artists (due respect to Carol King, Feist, PJ Harvey<\/strong> and many other amazing talents). \u00a0Of the current guard (again, Feist<\/strong>) there are a few who are making good strides towards the Mitchell<\/strong> pantheon.<\/p>\n

Chief among them is Laura Marling<\/a><\/strong>, who continues to impress with her songwriting, guitar playing and vocals. \u00a0On her latest album, Short Movie<\/strong><\/em>, Marling<\/strong> has “gone electric” and delivered some of the best electric guitar in recent memory. \u00a0But she still can touch with an acoustic guitar and song. \u00a0Take, for example, her performance below of How Can I<\/strong><\/em> (off Short Movie<\/strong><\/em>) for The Current<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0Watch below as Marling<\/strong> perfectly channels the best of Joni Mitchell<\/strong> on How Can I<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0 Beauty, right there. \u00a0May the performance help to heal Mitchell<\/strong> and bring her back to full health after her aneurysm this year.<\/p>\n
