Laura Marling & Johnny Flynn

It's been a good long time since I posted anything on The Comment Tree. Apologies for this - my hectic lifestyle has gotten that much more hectic this year! Rest assured, however, that 2010 will see many more posts containing many more brilliant artists...

To kickstart the process here in 2009, however, I have a couple of massively exciting things to share with you. Firstly, we have a brand new Christmas single from the beautiful Laura Marling, and you can listen to it here. The song is called 'Goodbye England (Covered In Snow)' and will sit well amongst anyone's collection of Marling songs. It's this fine young lady at her very best, doing what she does best, and it's wonderful. Take a listen, and make sure you buy a copy next Monday 14th December - even if only to keep those dreadful X-Factor types away from the Christmas Number #1 spot...



And in addition to Ms. Marling coming back onto the scene, the lovely Johnny Flynn has just released the brilliant follow up to his debut album 'A Larum'. This follow up comes in the form of the Sweet William EP, a gorgeous 4-track offering that will capture your heart and cause you to inadvertendly hum at the bus stop until the end of week. And after. For a limited time only, you can listen to and download for free the track 'Drum' from the new EP by clicking here.
