As some of you may know, I love blues music. Listening to it, playing it, it's wicked. Now one of my buddies who I jam with, has gotten me into a certain guitarist who many of you know, but probably don't like. That's right, I'm talking about John Mayer. Yes, a lot of his songs are radio friendly, and pop driven, however, there is one CD he has released that is all about the blues. It's called Try! It's a live CD with Pino Palladino, and Steve Jordan playing with him. They've gone the tried and true way of a guitarist (John Mayer) and bassist (Pino Palladino) and a drummer (Steve Jordan) It's an amazing CD, and he can wail on the blues. I really hope the he continues down the blues path, instead of his pop path. If you see this CD in stores, I suggest picking it up. If you don't want to, I'll give you a few songs to download. "Out of My Mind," "Who Did You Think I was?" and "I Got a Woman." Yea, he covers aRay Charlessong, and it rocks. Kind of reminds me of when Stevie Ray Vaughan covered a Stevie Wonder song. Anyways, just thought I'd bring your guy's attention to this amazing guitarist. If you like the blues, or just love the guitar, I recommend this album, it's fantastic.
If you are looking for this album, that's what it looks like :D
