John Mayer “Born And Raised” Review
May 22, 2012
John Mayer is back and ready to redeem himself. Mayer knows he’s talented. We can all agree on that. But what sets Born and Raised apart from John Mayer’s other works is that he’s finally humble to his talent. In this record, Mayer…
Congratulations to John Mayer and Team!
Born and Raised is the #1 Album on iTunes before it’s even released!
We are thrilled for John and we’d like to thank him and Mick Management for all the efforts to bring fans and JM together. We appreciate all the listening parties, interviews and meet & greet.
With the album as #1 we feel even more encouraged to spread the word about JM and his music.
John, we are ridiculously proud of you! I’ve been talking to a lot of fans from all over the world and we all agree on one thing: this album is bringing us a sense of calm and peace we’ve been longing for. It’s touching and sincere and gosh, it’s nearly impossible to hear it without shedding a few tears.
Thank you for giving us so many good memories and for allowing us to be part of your adulthood.
It’s been 10 great years seeing you became this amazing man and musician. You once said you brag about us like grandparents brag about their grandkids.
Well, we shamelessly brag about you too. And I have a feeling that we always will.See you soon.
How about that?

An Evening With John Mayer
Presented by American Express
Thursday, May 10, 2012; 8:00 p.m.
Just days before the release of his hotly-anticipated album, Born and Raised, join us in the Clive Davis Theater for a special evening with GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and…
Oh wow!
What’s with me and John Mayer? Well… this, for one thing!
Dear JM Pic Spam and/or JMMA, will you please post this on your FB page so that I may have this forever on my phone (and in my heart) thanx from the digitally withdrawn:)
Love!“He asked for a clock coins medals which all mean something to him. Each coin was hand drawn with faces of his friends that he had sent me, some are band members and people that work with him.”
This just made me “aww” out loud because of how sweet and thoughtful it is.
Perfect!
Legions of John Mayer fans are listening to approx. 17 minutes of a dozen one and a half minute songs! I love it!
We might be able to hear full length songs the Thursday before release date. Will let you know if that is happening.
Among other things, I’m happy JM fans in attendance at this Berklee Master Class respected John’s wishes to not tape or, at least, reveal this song until his record is released. Pretty amazing that everyone kept this promise and it hasn’t surfaced in over a year!

Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, January 1967 (Commentary Teaser)
2011-03-11: Berklee College of Music Master Class
Around this time last year, I was lucky enough to be a part of John Mayer’s master class at Berklee College of Music which took place after his clinic at the BPC. In the first hour of the class, he mentioned that he was writing a song called “Submarine Test, 1961.” At the end of the night, when he was trying to decide what new songs to play for us, I blurted out, “What about the submarine one?” like a jackass. In retrospect, I’m extremely glad I did.
John said, “I want the first time people hear it to be on the record,” so I’m only posting his commentary before/after the song and I’m not going to post the actual tune. It’s hands down the best song that I’ve heard so far from Born and Raised, and it’ll be worth the wait. Hopefully this little snippet will generate some more buzz for the album which is scheduled to be released on May 22nd.
A twelve string??? I recognize those chords. Can’t say which they are exactly but that sound…
as always, brilliant work by Cecilie
