The move from his acoustic folk debut INSIDE WANTS OUT to the electric pop of his breakthroughs, ROOM FOR SQUARES and HEAVIER THINGS, showed him to be a singer, guitarist, and songwriter of range as well as commercial durability. Mayer then confounded the critics who dismissed him as a Dave Matthews clone when he released a raw, rootsy, blues-based live album with a trio that featured ace session musicians.\nThe horizons of Mayer's musical world continued to expand with 2006's CONTINUUM. Mellow and soulful, yet textured and sophisticated in execution, CONTINUUM incorporates all the elements of the artist's previous releases while raising the bar on craft, musicianship, and tunesmithery. Classic blues, R\u0026amp;B, and soul are the major touchstones here, but Mayer doesn't merely ape his influences; instead he assimilates them into a personal singer-songwriter mode that is as affecting as it is understated. Mid-tempo and downtempo grooves dominate, but the man still has a way with a lilting, folk-tinged melody (as on the lovely \"The Heart of Life\"). Mayer's deft guitar work and increasingly nuanced singing take center stage on first listen, but it is his heartfelt, beautifully written songs that truly make CONTINUUM shine.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 04\/06\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751972462765,"sku":"3HILBL-EZF8-00","price":42.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-John-Mayer-Continuum1-Vinyl_s2Loj.jpg?v=1741189082"},{"product_id":"john-mayer-born-and-raised-vinyl","title":"John Mayer BORN AND RAISED Vinyl","description":"The follow-up to 2009's Battle Studies, 2012's Born and Raised is singer\/songwriter John Mayer's fifth studio album. The album was delayed during recording due to Mayer's treatment for granulomas found near his vocal cords. Following his surgery, Mayer completed the album and debuted the leadoff single \"Shadow Days\" in February of 2012. While Mayer was able to finish the album, a recurrence of his granulomas forced him to cancel his tour and abstain from singing indefinitely while he received further treatment. Produced by legendary musician Don Was, Born and Raised features more of Mayer's distinctive and soulful melodic rock with hints of country and blues.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 06\/12\/2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752812896429,"sku":"67FCZL-JVCJ-00","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-John-Mayer-Born-And-Raised-Vinyl_zF7wK.jpg?v=1742066166"},{"product_id":"john-mayer-heavier-things-vinyl-1","title":"John Mayer HEAVIER THINGS Vinyl","description":"With the experience of a Grammy-winning, major-label debut under his belt and the requisite pop stardom that goes with it, John Mayer continues forging a steadily impressive musical canon with his third full-length outing, HEAVIER THINGS. Like the introspective musings of fellow, mellow pop singer-songwriters such as Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson, Mayer's songs delve into the subtleties of relationships and their accompanying navel-gazing. \"Bigger Than My Body\" finds him not only on a search for self, but sounding like Matthews with his hint of falsetto, as \"Something's Missing\" does much the same on a bed of swirling guitar and the occasionally chiming chord. As for the fairer sex, there's the requisite pleading found within the confines of the bluesy \"Come Back to Bed,\" and the realization of loving someone with emotional baggage in \"Daughters,\" which stems from childhood issues. All is not entirely dour, however, as this former Berkley School of Music student includes a pair of more up-tempo cuts--\"Clarity,\" the hip-hop-brushed opener featuring jazz great Roy Hargrove and Roots drummer ?uestlove Thompson, and the hook-filled pop nugget \"Only Heart.\" Packed with such emotional heft, it's no wonder John Mayer went with the title HEAVIER THINGS.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/09\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39613285105837,"sku":"BR6A37-RUZ2-00","price":28.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/John-Mayer-HEAVIER-THINGS_kbA9H.jpg?v=1742071005"},{"product_id":"john-mayer-where-the-light-islive-in-los-angeles-vinyl","title":"John Mayer Where the light is(live in Los Angeles) Vinyl","description":"\r\nSIDE A\r\n1.

It was a sly way for the singer\/songwriter to ease back into his soulful side, a sound he largely abandoned during an extended dalliance with Laurel Canyon country-rock -- an infatuation that culminated in his position as a substitute Jerry Garcia in the Grateful Dead satellite group Dead \u0026amp; Company. Although it's ostensibly a breakup album, The Search for Everything doesn't feel haunted: Mayer glides through the record so smoothly, the supple sound seems almost insouciant. It is also quite alluring. Mayer may be reverting to the sound of Continuum, alternating between R\u0026amp;B workouts and soul-baring ballads, but forward movement is the unifying sentiment here. The nimble funk opener, \"Moving on and Getting Over,\" makes that plain, as does the plaintive \"Changing,\" which summarizes his plight simply: \"I may be old and I may be young\/But I am not done changing.\" Some of Mayer's change can be charted in how he hangs onto his romantic past, burying some of his heartache on the deceptively exuberant opener, \"Still Feel Like Your Man,\" and offering a bittersweet denouement in the admission \"You're Gonna Live Forever in Me.\" Mirroring his emotional maturity is a sharpening of his songcraft. While he's always shown a knack for slow-burning soul, the progression and arrangement of the smoldering \"Rosie\" feel as sophisticated as the lithe grace of \"Emoji of a Wave,\" while \"Roll It on Home,\" an easy-rolling country-rocker that tips its hat to the Dead, shows how he absorbed the lessons of his Laurel Canyon detour of Born and Raised and Paradise Valley. Those two records, along with such earlier workouts as Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert, reveal the extent of Mayer's ambition, but The Search for Everything succeeds because he's not donning a new costume: instead, he's settling into a groove he can claim as his own, and it feels like he's at home. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/26\/2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39618717155501,"sku":"Y232QD-W6FP-00","price":31.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/John-Mayer-THE-SEARCH-FOR-EVERYTHING_DFvKn.jpg?v=1742071052"}],"url":"https:\/\/thefinestvibes.com\/collections\/john-mayer\/over-70.oembed","provider":"The Finest Vibes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
