This is a great JM CD if you are already a fan and are looking for that extra acoustic take on some familiar songs. I love the vocal rhythm changes in "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" and the soft guitar in "Belief" I definitely think that this offers a cool, chill feel to John's music, and is a nice tag along with "Where the light is?"

This is a great CD with original songs written and sung in a studio; they are the same songs on Continuum, but with a sassy percussion-type sound. I could listed to John all day long...

Good

when I first saw John Mayer perform in Eric Clapton's DVD Crossroads Guitar Festival didn't think I'll end up buying his CD's till I saw him again on the second Crossroads DVD 07 and one of the tracks he played was Belief a real catchy tune so been listening & buying his music since and Village Sessions is another good CD unfortunate only 6 tracks .

Succint success!

Oh my...at first, I thought SIX SONGS??? He's GOT to be kidding! But then I drew a bubble bath, poured a glass of wine, and settled into The Village Sessions. Although the disc is short, it is some of John Mayer's finest work, showing off not only his sexy voice, but his masterful acoustical guitar. Worth every penny!

Oh...K

its alribht if you let yourself get into it... if you'd rather gear the original album and care for the little changes that someone could put on something already done than its not for you

An Album For Fans And Lovers of Great Acoustic Music

The ever prolific john mayer delivers 'the village sessions', a 6-song ep that retools favorites from his highly regarded 'continuum' album. With the exception of the ben harper track, the ep was recorded in one day at the village recorder in LA.

let's see, a bit pricey for a mere six tracks, but honestly, john mayer is really good at what he does and this disc is worth it. Mayer's acoustic is just as good as his regular cuts if not better and who doesn't love "waiting on the world to change" with a drop of ben harper?

Over all, enjoyable but...

Despite the incredible acoustic reworkings of certian songs, namely "Slow Dancing" and "Another You", this CD seemed more suited to be a bonus disc than a stand alone seller. I enjoyed it, but it offered little incentive to drop the extra cash on it when I already had Continuum.

AMAZING!

Great, great, GREAT album! Amazing. Even if you already have the original songs from Continuum or Trio, this album is definitely worth the buy. The songs are all acoustic and amazing once again. Some of them sound like totally new songs, and they are definitely all new versions. These songs are actually some of my favorites of John Mayer's (and I have ALL of his albums!) because of how raw they are. If you like acoustic versions of songs and sweet, melodic tunes, Village Sessions is perfect! I highly recommend it. To everyone!
