📝 Album Review & Notes

The Village Sessions is an EP released by blues-rock artist John Mayer on December 12, 2006. Collaborators include John Mayer Trio members Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino, along with others such as Ben Harper, Robbie McIntosh (of The Pretenders), and Ricky Peterson (of Mayer's touring band and former producer for Prince albums). The six-song EP contains acoustic and alternate versions of songs found on Mayer's third studio album, Continuum, and his Trio's live album, Try!. Mayer co-produced the album with engineer Chad Franscoviak, also his live engineer and flat mate.

Notable is that though the EP was released at about the same time as Mayer's single "Gravity," the song itself does not appear on this EP, much like Mayer's singles "Daughters" and "Bigger Than My Body" were not on his live album As/Is, despite being the current singles at the time of its release. Like the As/Is series before it, The Village Sessions was made available on iTunes on May 15, 2007.
