The Mile End Sessions


The Mile End Sessions is the seventh album by solo artist David Usher. It was released on September 14, 2010 and is composed mostly of previously released songs re-recorded in acoustic arrangements. There were two singles released off the record.

Overview

The record was produced by Jonathan Gallivan, who also plays guitar on the album. The album also includes a French track that features Marie-Mai called "Je repars", which is Usher's first French-language recording. It was the first single from the album and charted in the top 10 in Québec. The other new songs on the album are "Fall To Pieces" and "Sparkle And Shine".
Usher has said that the album title "is a nod to my neighbourhood in Montréal — Mile End... where these songs were re-shaped and where much of the album was made."
