Topic: Born & Raised

Anyone purchased John Mayer's newest release? I can't stop listening to it. Great album.

Re: Born & Raised

Good album! Better than most of the stuff he's put out but I still hate him...lol   I mean he's a good artist I just don't care for him as a person...

Re: Born & Raised

No interest.
I think the only "John Mayer" I'm interested in is "The John Mayer Trio" work.

Re: Born & Raised

I love the guy.   He gets a lot of grief for "selling out" (whatever that means) but the dude knows how to play.

I also like his attitude.  When he gets asked about his political opinions or some other inane media question, he always says something like "Man, have you heard me play the guitar?  I rip that thing up.  I know a whole lot about playing the guitar."

Which makes me laugh.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: Born & Raised

I agree with Jerome. Yet again.

Re: Born & Raised

I liked the music he was putting out.

Re: Born & Raised

I didn't care for his last work.  I read an interview with him today.  He didn't much care for it either, it seems.  He says this is much better.  I'll give it a listen.

Re: Born & Raised

Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino are both insane musicians. Beamer if you haven't checked him out other than his teenie bopper stuff, I'll give you two other tracks to marvel in:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ahbb9rz … re=related  Only one comment here: Ho-ly S***. Little baby Hendrix on guitar. Yeah, I said it. Wow. And shut your mouth Steve Jordan. Ridiculous.

and....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i__R__umCA   Covering Hendrix? Classy. Making the teenage girls love Hendrix??? Priceless. Thank you for bringing it back, John!

Re: Born & Raised
