SAU3R Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) New John Mayer album is out now, thoughts so far? I‘m a bit disappointed sadly.. the singles he released over the last two years are the strongest songs imo, the new songs are not as good. Last train home for me is the best song on the album. Til the right one comes and shot in the dark are okay, the other new songs are quite forgettable. But maybe I need some more time to get into them 🤷🏼♂️ Edited July 16, 2021 by SAU3R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I'm heading to the record store to pick it up in a bit. The only song I've heard from it is Last Train Home, so everything else will be new to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two favorite cuts by him are Vultures and Slow Dancing In A Burning Room. Check them out if you have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is a studio version, the other is a live version from an album called Where The Light Is. Not sure which version you checked out, but if it wasn't the live one, you might wanna take a listen. That version is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Never cared much for his solo work, too slick for my taste, but the stuff he did with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino is excellent. He's probably one of the best guitarists of this generation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does that thing where he plays rhythm and lead at the same time. So cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three of them in full force 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can really hear the Hendrix/SRV influences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
