Sessions With Mick is a demo album by American actor Val Kilmer and multi-instrumentalist Mick Rossi. Kilmer sold the songs via his MySpace page[1] and attempted to court record labels circa 2007.[2] Per The New York Observer, the album consists of "seven songs co-written by the duo that run the gamut from foot-stompin' rock to moody, guttural ballads" and includes a Christmas song that "brims with holiday spirit".[3] The album was sold in support of charities V-Day and The Wild Life Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico.[4][5]

Reception

The New York Observer and Paste both noted the project's lyrics, with the latter surmising that perhaps "even [Kilmer's] publicist can't get behind lyrics like these."[3][1] Listverse writer Edward Lola called "Frontier Justice" "eerie but well produced" and said "Kilmer actually has a decent singing voice."[6] Miami New Times's Ben Westhoff noted "influences of Neil Young, Elton John, and [Kilmer's] friend Sean Lennon", praised "the opera-trained Juilliard grad" Kilmer's voice and said "his mostly acoustic guitar tunes are often hummable", but that "his songwriting leaves a bit to be desired."[7]
