Acoustic Sessions


Liam Gallagher


This unexpected release from ex-Oasis
frontman Liam Gallagher compiles stripped-
back renditions of tracks from his second solo
album Why Me? Why Not., itself a surprise hit
last year. The rocker has also thrown in re-
workings of Oasis favorites “Cast No Shadow”
and “Stand By Me”.


FIVE FACTS:



  1. On the day of the EP’s release, Gallagher
    also debuted a video for the original demo
    version of “Once”, a much-esteemed track
    from Why Me? Why Not.

  2. The video depicts former soccer star
    Eric Cantona as a wine-drinking king and
    Gallagher as his chauffeur and butler.

  3. “Songs like this don’t come around very
    often and neither do football players like
    him,” Gallagher has tweeted about “Once”
    and Cantona.

  4. The EP’s other seven songs were recorded
    during Gallagher’s MTV Unplugged stint in
    the UK city of Hull in September 2019.

  5. “This is the original demo. It’s my favorite
    version; it’s silky smooth and it’s fizzy
    bubblech,” he has commented about the
    version of “Once” included here.
