The Guitarist Who Reinvented the Blues – John Mayer

July 16, 2008 by MomentsMom

John Mayer - 2008

John Mayer – live in concert 2008

Someone told John Mayer that he’s “the guy who reinvented the blues.” But he humbly deflected the compliment, insisting that if anyone gets credit for reinventing the blues it would be his listeners (presumably by helping him figure out what we all want to hear)…

The point? This man, this artist, is no Jack Johnson (not that there’s anything wrong with Jack Johnson). More on my thoughts about his work later… or you can read my post from last fall.

I need to pack for BlogHer!

    Regardless of the music (of either John Mayer or Jack Johnson) these are great concert photos.

    Not a huge John Mayer fan, but I don’t dislike him at all.

    I have a hard time watching him make his orgasm face while he sings. Otherwise, I can tolerate him.

    Found you from Blog Nosh. Fabulous post. I’m a fan. He’s a true talent.

    @TRB:
    Thanks!!

    @PG:
    Thanks, PG. Have you listened to some of his less popular tunes (like Slow Dancing in a Burning Room or Gravity)? You might like those more than songs like Waiting on the World…

    @Deb:
    I know what you mean. I’ve heard that comment from many people…

    @Myra:
    Thanks!
    I completely agree – he’s a true talent.
