Free Music Review: Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the only John Mayer album I own. Im not really into modern pop music. I consider myself a pretty good collector of music, I have many cd's of the Beatles, Henrix, Doors, SRV etc. John Mayer is obviously not a SRV or Hendrix, and compaing him to them is just stupid. However, Mayer does have awesome guitar skills, and his voice isnt the greatest voice, but its unique, and it works with his guitar licks. Look at Hendrix, he never had a good voice, neither did Joplin or even Bob Dylan. Their uniqueness makes their music even better. With this album Im glad to add John Mayer with both Jack White (White Stripes) and Henry Garza (Los Lonely Boys) as one of the best guitarists of our own modern time.Free Music Review: Incredible!

The John Mayer Trio should be praised for their live album TRY! I was not a john mayer fan before I bought this album, John Mayer was always known for being a pop artist and im sure he got tired of playing music the people wanted. This is when he expanded deep into the roots from Classic Rock, to Blues john mayer really gives the people everything you'd expect from old Ray Charles songs such as I Got A Women, to Hendrix's axis bold as love songs such as Wait Until Tommorow. This serves a great purpose for the music scene. Their are countless numbers of solid jams and creativity on this live one! I could probably write a book on how great this album is but im going to stop with this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Free Music Review: Mayer shows he is a virtuso
Hit: 5 Stars
John Mayer has shown his virtuoso talent on an accoustic guitar before, raw mastery of the instument, no pedals, no special effects. Now he pics up a Stratocaster, follows in the shadow of Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan and shows he can totally emulate that level of mastery on an electric guitar. Like other super groups before him the tightness of a band of talented musicians shines true on this album. Pino Palladino is one of the greatest bassist alive today having the level of talent to fill in for Entwistle on the recent Who tour and weaving himself effortlessly into the syncopated laid back up front dichotomy that is the genius style of Steve Jordan on drums. Well worth a listen. PLAY IT LOUD!!!!Free Music Review: Who did you think he was?
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow this guy is shrewd. He establishes a fan base, a radio airplay base, an economic base, then comes out gunslinging with his rock and roll soul. What a feat. I LOVE this album. I certainly like the softer "pop" side of John Mayer and have purchased his prior CDs on that basis. However, I am an absolute Hendrix/Vaughn/Winter/Duarte/Kravitz texas blues style guitar acolyte, and the stuff on this CD just blows me away, ESPECIALLY coming from John Mayer. Sad to see some reviewers rating the CD poorly based on the pop parameters they'd like to see JM bound by. On the other hand, I do think it's reasonable to warn the young teenaged girl fans out there that this album is a (fantastic) departure.Free Music Review: A Diamond in the Rough

If you don't listen to this album closely, you can miss brilliant nuances. This is one of the best albums of the year. JM has enlisted 2 of most talented session musicians out there. Steve Jordan was in the first generation of the Letterman Show Band, when the show was on NBC. Pino Palladino is known from his work with Paul Young ("Every Time You Go Away")where he played fretless bass and with the Who, after John Entwhistle passed away. There are instances of going "off the beaten path" with songs on this album. Instead of straight ahead 4/4 rock/blues, on "Who Do You Think YOu Are", the beats are on the "and" of 1,2 and then on the 4, giving it a slightly "off" beat jazz/rock spin to it...
