Free Music Notes for Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert
Free Music Review: Didn't like it
Hit: 2 Stars
I love John Mayers' music. I think he is an incredible guitar player. So I was curious about the John Mayer Trio. Three must be better than one right? Wrong. I was disappointed in this CD. Thought it was a terrible recording, (and I love live music) and felt that it was noisy and all over the place. I would not recommend this CD to any JM fan. Free Music Review: Try!
Hit: 5 Stars
John Mayer is is not appreciated enough for his guitar talent nor for his efforts at bringing the blues an updated sound palatable to today's generation of young music lover's. Try! is a must buy for up and coming musician's. His love and respect for the blues is breath of fresh air.Free Music Review: John Mayer rocks
Hit: 5 Stars
I always knew he could 'feel', but now he rocks too. Anyone who thinks he can't sing needs to take a good listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn. There are times when you think you could be listening to the great SRV himself, but this IS a John Mayer album and is filled with his spirit.Free Music Review: Blues For The Masses

I'm new to the blues genre, which is why I have to thank John Mayer for making it accessible on a commercial scale.
Though this may annoy or anger hard-core blues fans, I personally think it's a good thing.
I've listened to John since he first released Room For Squares. I've always enjoyed his work, but always felt he was being marketed as something he wasn't: i.e. a pinup boy for teenage girls with raging hormones and questionable taste in music.
With Continuum, I finally saw the REAL John Mayer in action -- though his previous performances at awards ceremonies ( my main source of JM 'live' appearances, considering where I live ) have been consistently spectacular. Maybe that's why I knew he was capable of much more, if only the recording company would let him shine.
I probably should've bought Try! before getting Continuum, but the former sold out last year, resulting in this reversed sequence. ( Thank goodness for Amazon. :))
In hindsight, it's a huge advantage, purely because Try! is far superior to Continuum, because it's (1) "live", (2) much more diverse in terms of material, and (3) has loads of phenomenal no-holds-barred jamming.
Every piece is a masterpiece, but personally speaking, 3 definitely stand out. Vultures, my top favourite from Continuum, is unbelievable "live", with John's raw, slightly raspy vocals conveying much more poignance than the no-doubt-tweaked-and-retweaked studio version.
Out Of My Mind, on the other hand, literally blew my mind ( pun intended :))! I first heard it in the car driving to work. Immediately turned up the volume and reckon I almost broke the windscreen ( haha ). John may not be hailed as a really good singer ( his skills on the guitar usually steal the limelight ), but his delivery on Out Of My Mind easily rivals the great Ray Charles -- the resemblance is spooky, man.
Best track by far, however, is I Got A Woman. Quite a crowd pleaser, considering its origins ( and a later sampling on Kanye West's Gold Digger ), but absolutely perfect here. Great vocals, cool-beyond-cool jamming, super hot and steamy.
Am predicting a looong life cycle in my stereo -- for the next few months at least.
Truly mind-blowing. I highly recommend this to anyone who'd like to know what great musical talent sounds like.
