Certain people have been urging me to pick a John Mayer album for as long as this blog has existed and today I finally capitulated. He is an excellent guitarist and there is quite a selection of impressive guitar work throughout his catalog, but I could never really get into him until he became the new Jerry Garcia. Now it feels both appropriate and socially acceptable to be picking through his back catalog, trying to spot the signs that indicated that he would be a good fit for that position. I’m sure they were always there in his live performances, but as a habitual late adopter, I wasn’t able to allow myself to have such experiences earlier in life.
