For some reason unbeknown to such peewee brains as my own, there is nothing quite like a good session by an artist you love. Whether it’s by a band whose album you know better than the way you subconsciously know the drunken stumble home when you go into autopilot at the end of a heavy night or a by a band you’ve never, ever heard of before- there’s definitely a lot of fun to be had by getting down with a session. A great session can provide a new, paradigm shifting perspective on old favourites as well as presenting a nice doorway to the realm of a particular, previously undiscovered band. Sessions can also make you go from pulling a face of mild contempt towards a song you think is just a bit shit to looking like Augustus Gloop with a Wonka bar in his mouth because of the same- albeit differently recorded- song.
