It’s 12:30 am, so there’s no chance I can put words together to do this post justice. I just downloaded John Mayer’s new live album: “Where the Light Is”…. after 4 songs, it is simply amazing. I’d love to write a lengthy, emotive review, but I’ll just keep it short and sweet. We’ll roll with a numbered format for this one. My quick thoughts:
1.) John Mayer is the Eric Clapton of my generation… I’ll be listening to him when I’m 50.
2.) If you don’t like John Mayer’s music, you are either a.) Deaf or b.) Ignorant to what “good” music is.
3.) This CD is a journey through John’s three distinct styles of concert. The Full Band, The Trio, The Accoustic set. I don’t have a favorite…. they all make me giddy inside.
4.) The cover of Tom Petty’s ‘Free Fallin’ might be better than the original (blasphemy… I know)
5.) “In Your Atmosphere” is probably instantly my favorite new JM song.
6.) There’s a live DVD that you can get along with the CD. It would make for an excellent birthday gift for the author of this blog (July 6th… that’s next Sunday in case you don’t have a calendar handy). I’ll let you come to my house and enjoy it in surround sound if you hook me up!
I know what you are thinking…. and yes, I have a full blown man crush. I’ve chronicled it here before.
Finally, the picture at the top was taken by me at the John Mayer concert in Cincinnati last year.
“Keep me where the light is…..”
