Congrats to Bon Iver<\/strong> for taking home a couple of “unwanted” Grammy awards last weekend.\u00a0 In the aftermath, three great new video sessions have been released\/re-released this week, the first two of which should sate those fans who have missed the smaller, more intimate “cabin-sounds” of the band’s 2008 album, For Emma, Forever Ago<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The first release is a 4AD Session at AIR Studios<\/strong>, with stripped-down, intimate versions of the songs performed just by Justin Vernon<\/strong> and the criminally underrated Sean Carey <\/strong>(known on his fine 2010 solo album as S. Carey<\/strong>).\u00a0 Check out the duet as they perform the following songs:\u00a0 Hinnom, TX; Wash.; <\/strong><\/em>Bonnie Raitt’s I Can’t Make You Love Me; Babys;<\/strong><\/em> and a far-preferred version of Beth\/Rest<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 At times the influence of George Winston<\/strong> is unmistakeable.\u00a0 Afterward check out La Blogotheque’s<\/strong> just re-released sessions with “Bonnie Bear<\/strong>” in June 2008 HERE<\/strong><\/a>. Finally, at bottom check out a jam session with Justin Vernon and The Roots<\/strong> on the song Perth <\/em><\/strong>on the Jimmy Fallon Show<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
