Oooo John Mayer, you never stop suprising me!!! Pop to Rock, back to Pop, then to a Classic Blues/Rock!
I was excited to hear that Mayer was coming out with his 5th album, anticipating for months now!! Even with all his media crazed bullshit, i will always say that i have loved and will love everything he comes out with. I know a lot of people cut him down and out with all that's been happening media wise but you do have to admit that the boy's extremely talented!
Growing up as a child listening to CSNY and Neil Young, i'd say i've grown accustom and maybe a bit partial to the "Classic Rock/Blues" genre. Good old rock 'n' roll has always been my favorite. I always say that they don't make music like they used to...and well they don't!! So you could expect my delight when this album reminds me of old CSNY, Allman Brothers and a lil After The Gold Rush of Neil Young!!
I found out that an added bonus of David Crosby and Graham Nash harmonizing on the track "Born and Raised." How aswesome is that??!! There is not one song that i would skip over on Born and Raised!!
"Shadow Days" Featured above is the new single but there is everything from your Country type rock (Allman Brothers style) "Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey" to your slower ballad of pure cuteness (Love Is A Verb....Wedding Song for girls across the nation!) Let the over playing of this album begin! Till i'm sick of it that is...

I read your blog then tried listening to the song pretending it wasn't John Mayer. Music is great, definitely has that classic rock/blues vibe but then I hear his voice... All of the sudden I can only hear "Your body is a wonderland." I blame it on my employer though, I think I hear the song twice a day. Pandora at work seems like a great idea now.
ReplyDeletehahaha! Thanks for reading! This song is a far way from "Your Body Is A Wonderland!" Love his new sound though!
