\"John_mayer_1\"<\/a> What can I say; I’m a sucker for Mr. John Mayer<\/a>.  I’ve been a big fan ever since his first album Room For Squares<\/a>. I even joined the fan club (along with the rest of the crazed teenage girls and soccer moms)<\/p>\n

And his latest album, Continuum<\/a> doesn’t disappoint… in fact you can listen to the entire thing on-line before its even available to purchase…how cool is that?<\/p>\n

Some of my new favorites are Stop This Train, Belief, In Repair and I’ve included a performance of Vultures for your listening pleasure.<\/p>\n

Here’s what they say about my man, "Continuum is about as apt a title as it gets for John Mayer’s third studio disc. Every element, from the peerless guitar playing to the plainspoken poetry of the lyrics to the breathy-sincere singing, makes a return from previous efforts. But to weakly pronounce this another worthwhile effort from an artist the world has come to expect a whole lot from and then call it a day would be no minor misdeed, because it’s also the best, boldest disc he’s ever made. Taking maturity as a theme throughout, Mayer tackles a batch of adulthood’s bogeymen: indifference on the uptempo chart-climber "Waiting for the World to Change," aging on the melancholy-sweet "Stop This Train," and emotional trainwreckage on the big-rocking "In Repair." That’s not to suggest he’s turned overly introspective–check the Jimi Hendrix cover "Bold As Love," where he hits one home for guitarists who’ve been living in the shadow of legend everywhere, and the hard-charging "Belief," which benefits from a mesmerizing, liquid groove. Continuum may be the third in a series, but a creative cop-out this is not; Mayer is his generation’s musical superman–powerful, unassailable, and magnetic. Hand that man a cape." –Tammy La Gorce <\/p>\n
