It's been a long time coming but will be greatly welcomed by ALL folk & country enthusiasts - the FULL original sessions - a ground-breaking series that, in a very simple fashion, brought together a host of great artists and introduced them to both one another and to each other's music.
It's acoustic but still very dynamic.
It's a wonderful concept that continues to surprise and should go on forever.
