To be completely honest, I’m rarely a fan of the Lake Fever Sessions artists that come in by themselves and play some half-thought out acoustic versions of their songs. It seems like a missed opportunity not to get the whole band in there and really give it the full treatment. So, when the new Sondre Lerche session launched I was a bit disappointed to see him hanging by himself but I gave it a whirl anyway. As usual, my initial judgment was wrong and entirely misplaced. There is obviously no lack of enthusiasm or full force treatment coming from Mr. Lerche regardless of the performance being just himself and an acoustic guitar. His voice is emotive and engaging while his playing is energetic and dynamic; just as you’d expect from a full band. Please do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing.
