Video: Strand of Oaks Black Cab Session

Here’s Strand of Oaks’ Timothy Showalter with Chris Ward of Pattern is Movement playing “Sterling” in the back of a Philadelphia cab. The banjo plucks are a far cry from the layered album version and Showalter’s solo performances with a giant array of guitar pedals. The song still holds up.

“Sterling” is on Pope Killdragon, my favorite album released last year.

  1. I don’t think that’s the back of a Philadelphia cab, bro. It’s a Black Cab Session. They did one with Brian Wilson, Flaming Lips, My Morning Jacket, a million other bands…it’s a famous thing. http://www.blackcabsessions.com.

    I’m aware. But this was filmed in Philadelphia. It’s the USA version of Black Cab Sessions. Bro.
