the acoustic record

Posted on July 22nd, 2007 by David Usher

So ive decided to do some acoustic sessions that I hope will result in an acoustic album. Im going to try as much as possible to let you all in on the process. To do that im going to blog, podcast and video podcast the process of making the record. ill stream everything to the davidusher.com forum, myspace.com/davidushermusic, youtube etc. so you can read, hear and watch it wherever you like.
The way I think a record will be is usually not the way the story turns out. In my mind the album will be acoustic (ish) versions some of my favorite songs, black heart, the music, maybe a version of f train the way we do it live with the extended ‘we will may still get by” in 3 part harmony, a new song or 2, a cover?? I would love to know what you would like to hear.
I see it as something interesting to do as a bridge before the next studio record. I may only release it online or at show or on itunes?? We can talk about all of these things.
Anyways, its an idea I thought I would put out there. Im going ahead and start the process. The first thing I need to think about is the songs, it always starts there…
