"The 24-year-old guitarist delivers a smoother, more smoldering sound than your average rocker -- in fact, you could say his music is for squares."
I'm a square then... If you haven't given this young gentleman a listen to yet then *DO* it. I've love that 'smooth, soldering sound' as described in the NPR interview linked above. The tension in Mayer's music is just incredible.
I first heard Why Georgia about a month ago on DirecTV's DMX 'Progressive' channel (an excellent source for new music BTW) and No Such Thing on our local Clear Channel station over the weekend. Hopefully, this 24 year old's emminent success won't spoil him too much. Lot's of clips and a couple of videos (for those w/ large pipes) on the official website johnmayer.com
