John Mayer - The Village Sessions EP

Yesterday I purchased the new release from John Mayer called, The Village Sessions. Here is the description from his blog:

The long-awaited digital release of the indie EP "The Village Sessions" has finally arrived. The EP was recorded with guitarist Robbie McIntosh in late 2006 after that Fall's US Continuum Tour. It features acoustic versions of songs from Continuum and includes very special guest Ben Harper on "Waiting On The World To Change."

One of the coolest things about this record is that when you buy it from iTunes it comes with a 20 minute video that documents the amazing process that John went through to record the song "In Repair". He basically challenged himself to write a whole original song in one day. He came with no set idea of what would happen but through inviting some of the world's best musicians (drummer, Steve Jordan and 8 string guitarist, Charlie Hunter) to collaborate with and having a great environment to work in, they came out with a very cool song. This movie documents this process and it was extremely interesting to watch raw creativity in action.

John Mayer fans have to get this recording. It's really good.
