Acoustic Brunch: The Black Cab Sessions

London is cool, the accent is cool, even the 85 yr old English Queen is cool.  So, it doesn’t surprise me that it was a few Brit pals that came up with this oh-so-very cool idea- a brilliant way to meet their favorite artists face to face and get a private acoustic show at the same time.

Take one big London Black Cab, one song add one take and you have the Black Cab Sessions. There are a few famous faces and some not so famous in their collection of performances.  Here is a link to the Ryan Adams session. Let me know what you think.  There are so many ‘sessions’ to check out and you guessed it- all very cool.
