John Mayer - Battle Studies [Review]

19 Nov 2009 02:00:56 PST

Written by tFT
It was the youthfulness that drew me in at the start and the gradual growth over Heavier Things and Continuum that kept me around, but with Battle Studies Mayer seems to have caught up with his own age and is playing to his own internal audience, and it’s a shame I feel a touch left behind.

John Mayer: Battle Studies Review

17 Nov 2009 15:12:33 PST

Written by bluecenterlightpopblog
Battle Studies is more stripped down than Continuum. Mayer takes a look at the war-torn land of relationships and love on this album. He’s known as the Hollywood funny man, but when he’s serious in the studio, Mayer gets it done. I’m not going to talk about John Mayer’s dating history or his ant...

New Reviews: John Mayer, Norah Jones and Leona Lewis

17 Nov 2009 14:28:53 PST

Written by Rolling Stone
Norah Jones has effortlessly shifted genres in her platinum-and-Grammy-filled career, and on her new disc The Fall she set out to make an album similar to Tom Waits’ Mule Variations, adding that LP’s producer and guitarist to her arsenal. “For her fourth LP, her liveliest, she rolls with...

Opinion: John Mayer - Heavier Things (Mp3)

Written by .(noreply@blogger.com)
Don't take the title of John Mayer's Heavier Things literally. Mayer offers nothing heavy on the follow-up to his breakthrough hit, Room for Squares -- nothing heavy in the music and nothing heavy in the lyrics. No, Mayer is smooth, slick, and streamlined on his second or third album (it all...

CD Review: Brett Dennen's Hope for the Hopeless

29 Nov 2008 13:00:55 PST

Written by Christine N. Ziemba
There’s a spectrum of the singer songwriter: semi-hotties who produce pure pabulum (John Mayer, Jack Johnson) to artists with great lyrics that we’d much rather listen to than moon over (think Bob Dylan and Van Morrison). And then there’s everyone else.

In all, I was very pleasantly surprised with this album. OK, John Mayer live invites comparisons to Dave Matthews Band, there's no denying that. But hey, is that such a bad thing? Not in my book! ~ Paul Allaer 02 No Such Thing 05 Something's Missing

As a hard core John Mayer fan, I enjoy this double CD set. I especially love "Blues Intro" and John's rendition of Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues/Make Me Wanna Holler." The rest is same ole, same ole, but the set is worth having if you love John playing the blues as much as I do. In concert, he does...

Longtime listeners have seen it coming: it was only a matter of time before John Mayer dropped the pop star pretense and proved he could really bring it. Chalk it up to one too many Dave Matthews comparisons, or the cupcake-sweet residue stuck to his image after the success of "Your Body Is a W...

Then there are those who listened to "Your Body Is A Wonderland," "Waitin' On The World To Change," or some similar pop-happy tune about a dozen times on the way to the concert and spent the night wondering when he'd play "Daughters."

Mayer has made himself an easy target for this kind of a discussion. His relationship with Aniston follows well-publicized flings with Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Minka Kelly. He was also rumored to have dated Heidi Klum. And he once hit on Rikki.

John Mayer (Blu-ray Review)

Rather than his blues trio being a one-off side project completely disconnected to his past work, it is clear now that it was the next step in his musical development. And truthfully, while Try! certainly showcases Mayer's deft improvisational blues chops, it's more of a blues/soul albu...

Music Review: Continuum - John Mayer

Written by David Winchell
How refreshing, I thought to myself as I reached the end of bluesy rocker John Mayer's recent release Continuum, his first studio project since 2003's Heavier Things. Mr. Mayer has aged since his 2001 debut, and with this album eases into a laid back, barebones style of musicianship befitt...
