For my money, she had the greatest voice ever. A beautiful singer. This album contains some great tracks, with the stand-out being "It suits me well". And let's not forget the killer rendition of Dylan's "Tomorrow is a long time".

Great stuff.

Un concept original et oh! combien divertissant // A highly original & entertaining concept
**(Fr.)** Par hasard (plus ou moins), j'ai découvert récemment le site Black Cab Sessions et j'ai craqué! L'idée est simple : on invite un (ou plus d'un) musicien (connu ou moins connu) à s'installer dans un taxi noir (le plus souvent, à Londres), on part faire une courte promenade, et l'artiste nous offre une chanson (parfois deux). C'est joyeux, c'est sympathique et c'est très divertissant!
**(Eng.)** I recently discovered the Black Cab Sessions website & was (am) blow away! It's a very simple & straightforward concept : a musician (sometimes two, sometimes three / well-know or little known) takes place on the back seat of a black cab (usually in London), the cab starts rolling, and we are treated to one song (or two) by the artist(s). It's loads of fun, really nice to watch AND listen to & highly, highly entertaining!
