John Mayer Trio???????

You bet. Just got the LP this week. This album is refreshing to hear him flex his creative muscle and dip into the blues style, which he pulls off quite well. I agree with Miner42, band is great but the recording does not do the music justice, at least on vinyl.

His first two albums on CD sound great while the vinyl is so so, I imagine the same case hear after playing the standard vinyl version.

Get the CD, its worth it.

Yeah, I have this cd, and while this foray into blues may seem a bit of a departure from his norm hip-hop/top 20 style, I think it is a genuine attempt and effort to make it work. It comes off quite listenable and the recording is perhaps a bit above average. I have only had the album a couple of weeks and has limited play time, however it is growing on me more than his older stuff.

If you have a chance to check out Eric Claptons "Crossroads" dvd, he does to songs. Was the first time i had heard his music, now i'm hooked....

Two years ago I would have bet my car that I'd never like a john mayer album. Had someone made that proposition I'd be looking for a new car as I think trio is a pretty solid recording. I think jm is an example of the inverse sell-out. He put out top 40 stuff to make a name for himself and once he "made it" he is back to his berkely roots and what he actually wants to play. my $.02.
