    If you're expecting the John Mayer who has been mastering blues?

    If you're expecting the John Mayer who has been mastering blues? This CD isn't for you! I can't believe I'm saying this, but this CD had a tit for tat feel of I'll get even with you Taylor Swift and show you who can whine the best in a song, feel to it. Not his best work and not something I'd tell friends to sit and listen to!

    Very nice!

    This is a wonderful way to hear John Mayer sing from a very personal place. It has a little country, R&B sound... a nice, fresh sound. The lyrics make you want to listen again, and again. I just love his voice. This shows just why he has been so popular for so long.
