What better subject for Black Cab Sessions than Jens Lekman, the whimsical, melodic Swede whose "Black Cab", found on 2005's Oh You're So Silent Jens, still ranks as one of his best songs. Lekman leaves behind the the Left Banke- and Belle and Sebastian-derived orchestration of the original version to play his "Black Cab Sessions" "Black Cab" on a kalimba. The moment is reminiscent of his recent cover of Arthur Russell's sublime "A Little Lost" using the same instrument. This performance isn't quite as flawless, but it's still an inspired black-cab reworking of an evergreen tune.[original version from Oh You're So Silent Jens; out now on Secretly Canadian]
