I know you’ve had a tough 2 years and I am thrilled that you’ve managed to turn in all around. The new you really shows in your music. It’s brilliant and by far my favorite album. You sound like the man at peace that you said you wanted to be. Can’t wait until your throat is all healed up and we can share the music with you in person. We’ll be here when the next album is ready and you head out on the road again. Until then, write, relax and take care of yourself. D.Well, that’s a wrap on release week promotion for Born and Raised. It’s so phenomenally weird to wake up this morning at home and not in the back of a bus somewhere. On the bright side, releasing this album and getting back in touch with my fans has been something I’ve been waiting to experience for a long time now. I’m finally at a place in my life where I can truly appreciate the kindness and support, and you have shown me lots of it. Thank you for that.
As I understand it, the album is set to enter the charts at number one, which is just incredible on all your parts because there has been very little I’ve been able to do to promote it. In a world of schemes and strategies when it comes to selling something, you guys just bought music you trusted you’d like. You picked it up in the same way I made it… from the heart, no trickery. That is so cool and rare and all the marketeers in the world together can’t manufacture that. I am very grateful to you.
The making of this record was purposely undocumented, but there are a few iPhone videos and some photos to share. I figure I’ll do that here, and more often than I usually have in the past. Even if this album slides off the charts in a month, it doesn’t make it any less special to me, and we should all be digging this music together, like we would have (and will again) on stage.
Stay tuned…
with thanks and love
John

Unmaskd: Integrity: Did You Know You Have It?
Have you ever wondered if you’re a person of integrity? I’ve got good news for you: yes, you are. Always have been. Only it is likely not what you thought integrity was.
Integrity is consistency of actions and values. But despite of what you think your values are, real values are those that…

Tron Mayer as John Mayer. This is too funny. I love the grown-up, new John but I definitely miss the Mayer humor :) Thank you Ricky and College Humor for bringing us naked Tron Mayer.
Attention All John Hughes Fans. This just happened.

When people say ‘I’m good at math and economics, but life decisions are hard for me’ it’s like saying ‘My ears are great for wearing earrings, but I haven’t quite mastered the art of hearing’. Life decisions — large and small — if why we have a brain. Economics didn’t exist just a few hundred years ago, but the our brain has been evolving for millions of years for a single purpose — to help us survive and live by making life decisions. Brain is first of all, a life decision making machine.
If you’ve ever wondered about your values — the core beliefs that define everything you do — just take an objective look at your life. As you look at the years behind you will see them clearly — bare and exposed. Your thoughts can hide your true values from you. But the choices you make year after year put them on display — not only for others, but first of all, for you.
Went to a John Mayer Born and Raised listening party and won a test pressing that will have a personalized autograph. I also got a great poster of the album artwork and a album size, embossed, numbered and signed print. Not only is this his best record yet but the artwork is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks to John, Mick Management and Columbia Records.

I love it. I think its going to be my favorite album yet. I love the new sound.click here to go to the iTunes store and stream the record now. Pre-order if you dig it.
I listened to the record last Wednesday on my flight to Los Angeles. Gave it one more go round before it went out into the world… one last little listen as being just mine. It’s brought me so much joy and company and peace, and I hope it will do the same for you.

I think you have to grow old gracefully and I think my fans will follow because they’re growing old too.

Damn it John! Thanks for the reminder.
