Cardinal Sessions was founded in the summer of 2010. They challenge the classic music video and try to replace impersonal footage with immediate and emotional snapshots.
Bands from all over the world with their different genres present their songs reduced to the essence of the musical spectrum - only vocals and unplugged instruments. Due to the spontaneous live-aspect and the approach to record every song without any additional rehearsal, songs emerge that often sound significantly different to their album versions.
We film on locations that the musicians mostly choose by themselves: remote places, frequented streets, parks, woods, fields, bars; nothing is impossible. We have accomplished our goal if the location fits well to the background of the music we and the artists want to present. But our most important purpose is that there are no borders: we film everything that we like, no matter how popular, famous or also unknown a band might be. It is still important for us to support local talents and it will always stay part of our concept.
The Cardinal Sessions team can also be booked: for example to film short documentaries of album recordings, studio recordings or live concert moments that you want to capture.

[@thomaspfoster]

[@CardinalSessions]

glad you finally found him!

[@space76grass]

Bandcamp. So much goodness you cant find other places. :)

[@88thomps]

Watch his NPR Tiny Desk Session, inspired me to see him live.

[@XxRawr12x]

Listen to late July, my fav n rotten ol me

[@SteezyxMcgee]

Shakey is such an amazing Artist. I had the pleasure of seeing him live earlier this year, and it was hands down the best preformance i have ever seen.

[@theresaamick5172]

The garden's & guns set of Cops & Robbers followed by a cover of John Prine is magical. So many have tried to do JP and man, Shakey Graves is the only one I have ever heard do his music justice and then some. He added some depth to an old classic that no one has yet to pull off or even come close.

[@averyisaiah1]

Heard the studio version after this and couldn't believe it was the same song!

[@Bunny_Mellon_B]

This is a movie song if I've ever heard one! Ah-mazing!😘

[@simonbleskacek1463]

THIS. release it. so much better than the studio version!!!

[@robinwood3831]

More and more good stuff from shakey. Love it.

[@travelwithme3399]

Shakey Graves never disappoints !!

[@roboCL0WN]

Speed it up and you've got a banger!

[@thomaspfoster]

Absolutely incredible. Another video I'm gonna abuse over and over. Thank you

[@Wtfever2.0]

So awesome. That voice is perfection

[@wess5601]

I might be the worst but you'd know the best You drive the car, I'll do the rest The getaway was quick and clean We make an awful perfect team You never know how fast you run Until the bullet leaves the gun Everybody on the floor this is a stick up Why would you sink so low? Just to get high Crime It's a young man's game I wanna take you where I'm going Half the fun is never knowing If and why We've lost our way To find that everything in life Is worth its price But there's nothing you can't steal I couldn't stop, I couldn't say My innocence was locked away It's far too late 'cause now you've seen All the wicked parts of me The bully got the girl next-door I had it all but wanted more So give me everything in the register Why would you sink so low? Just to get high Crime It's a young man's game I wanna take you where I'm going Half the fun is never knowing If and why We've lost our way To find that everything in life Is worth its price But there's nothing you can't steal No, there's nothing you can't steal Young man what did you do? I saw your face on the six o'clock news Had to get your 15 minutes somehow Judge not, lest ye be judged Fear not unbearable love Oh, what a life of Crime It's a young man's game I wanna take you where I'm going 'Cause half the fun is never knowing If and why We've lost our way To find that everything in life Is worth its price But there's nothing you can't steal No, there's nothing you can't steal No (no), nothing you can't steal

[@RocketNinjaSlap]

absolute chills

[@damageddarth6352]

Saying "Everybody on the floor this is a stick up" in a church, classy!

[@hugolopes7815]

No more words!

[@noelydias2395]

He's incredible

[@codyhinson6071]

keep waiting for him to go into Creep

[@MissNatalonga]

This strangely sounds like a Radiohead song, done in a Shakey Graves way.

[@jackfrancis2387]

Nathalie Ramirez yeah I agree

[@jarizegers4188]

Creep has the same chord progression just a different key I believe (or at least there's a version of a homeless guy doing it and he also plays C E F Fm which is what this song is)

[@callmecaptin]

@@jarizegers4188 C/G E F FM for the verses play an A instead of a E in the chorus, so you're right on it

[@noelydiaslima3068]

I love shakey graves

[@xanderstemen4005]

It's funny to compare the lyrics from this song to Late July

[@artursouzadosreis8291]

Um BR esteve aqui.....

[@ayunizikeri3571]

He reminds me a lot of Paolo Nutini

[@averyisaiah1]

Also I'm disgusted at the amount of views this wonderful production has.

[@whittneypugh6307]

…caw.
