John Mayer Trio

iTunes has a couple of singles out from the John Mayer Trio debut release (I think it's due in December, but don't quote me. I'm too lazy to look it up.) The first song, the one I favor, is a 50's-60's blues style song called "Come When I Call." I love it. It sounds like a blues hall recording in a way, and it sets the mood for the lyric. Great job.

The other one, "Who Did You Think I Was," is a Lenny Kravitz-style workout about how John is actually different than everyone thinks he is, proving he's a bit confused about it himself. It is a great beat with a lot of energy, and I must like it, too.

I especially like the "Stitched Up" John did on the new Herbie Hancock CD. You should get it (the song, not the album. I can only speak for one track on it.)

Enjoy yourself, and drink some coffee while listening to some good tunes.

Update:
The John Mayer Trio will release a live recording November 13 along with a DVD.
