The first single, «Shadow Days,» Billboard calls «a gentle and shimmering confluence of mellow Southern rock». Mayer produced Born and Raised with Don Was, who worked on albums for acts such as the Rolling Stones, B.B. King and Bonnie Raitt. Rock legends David Crosby and Graham Nash provide vocals on the title song, «Born and Raised.» Musicians joining Mayer on the album and on the road include highly-regarded keyboardist/pianist Chuck Leavell who has worked with the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and The Allman Brothers Band as well as previous collaborators Sean Hurley on bass and Aaron Sterling on drums.

Born and Raised was delayed during recording due to Mayer’s treatment for granulomas found near his vocal cords. Following his surgery, Mayer completed the album and debuted the leadoff single «Shadow Days» in February of 2012. While Mayer was able to finish the album, a recurrence of his granulomas forced him to cancel his tour and abstain from singing indefinitely while he received further treatment. Co-produced by legendary musician Don Was and John himself, Born and Raised features more of Mayer’s distinctive and soulful melodic rock with hints of country and blues… —————- TRACKLIST 1.

dhov_ - Mayer is Perfection

Never a disappointment. Perfect summer soundtrack of 2012 and I'm still listening to it.. If only he would go on tour now.

Carumba! - Not happy

It was a disappointment...was hoping for something a little closer to his older albums. I guess I just have to let go of the old John Mayer...never coming back

AVAEMPIRE - pass

IMO, boring, generic, uninspired. Not one song I get into.

BackTrainer - A little disappointed...

Don't get me wrong, this is a good album, but come on! It's John Mayer! My expectations were a little higher. Out of all his albums, I like this one the least. Some of his songs are sounding country, and I don't know how I feel about that. What happened to the soft-rocker who sang No Such Thing and Waiting On The World To Change? The only really good song on this album is The Age of Worry.

Adam Sherron - John

I hate people that say, "I don't like this album because its so different then the other ones I love." Ok John straight up told everyone this album was to be completely different. He was going to show a different side of himself. He's a musical genius! Every song is so mellow and so meaningful. Don't just hear the words, listen to them. This album has a country vibe to it which I love. I hate country because of the way the artists sing. But John puts his angelic voice with country riffs. It's a masterpiece!

Bczarable1 - Give it a chance

Liked it the first few times listening to it, but it took until about the 3rd time to fall in love with it. It's a little different, but still an absolute masterpiece.

Dionca - Never the same again

Just don't dig his work anymore

Flipoff ztik - Awesome

Very good mix of taste. Smooth lyrics. Good album overall! 👍

freezerboy_2 - Give it up for Mayer

This album is very close to being up there with a good 70's album, like Gordon Lightfoot & such. John Mayer could keep some of this kind of rhythm going without ever get me upset. AND why hasn't "If I Ever Get Around to Living" become like first or second on the buy-ratings. This whole album is good. Every song should only be available "album only" or just emulate my album-purchase style... buy the CD! I'll need a new copy soon. It's getting worn out, in a good way.

j-roberson - John Mayer

Awesome Album!!

VictoriaSchz - New and improved!

Very great!!!! Shows how much he's changed.

KMJack23 - Progression

John Mayer will go down as one of the greatest singer/songwriter/guitarists of all time. Now that is a bold statement, but his music speaks for itself. Mayer is not a sell-out artist, even though many think he is. Born and Raised brings a new side of Mayer that we have not really seen. The beauty of Mayer's work is that his music replicates his life. He is forever changing. This album shows change, and progress. Download the album and see for yourself! Every song has a purposeful meaning.

butternutters - Yes! ❤

Hands down John Mayer's best album. Every song is good in almost all aspects. He communicates well with his lyrics and the musicianship of this album impresses. John Mayer has brought something fresh to the musical table in a pop world of stale beats and empty lyrics. However, this album is very different from his others. Earlier fans might not like it. Buy it, especially on sale like it is now. ☺

nalvarez82 - Great Album

John never disappoints!

lorimwalker - Comfortable feeling..

The more I listen to this album, the more comforting I find it. He covers various aspects of life and with clear lyrics, an easily enjoyable album.

Alex Otteson - Absolutely stunning.

This album is perfect! His music will never get old!!

Green_20 - Not country

I hear more of blues then I do country and its amazing!

Kimkaleikini9 - Different but still awesome

This album is not what we are used to from John but still different is not bad. His a versatile artist and he has that freedom to play around with genres because he's extremely talented. EXTREMELY RECOMMEND IT

lopeznidiaa - !

Forever I will be in love with Mayer's music.

CrW:p - So good.

I have been addicted to these songs. I've listened to them over and over again. Every time I listen to it its like the first time all over agian. Well Done John.

I love this ggggaaammmeee!!!!! - Great job again John Mayer

I LOVE all of the songs on this album they all have a very nice calm feeling and it is wonderful to listen to

Super Fan 37 - Awesome Album

Love John's new Album. I think he can do just about any genre he feels like doing.

realbrenton - Reinvented once again for the better

In his usual fashion, Mayer reinvents himself yet again. And like every other time, the result is an incredibly unique, captivating masterpiece. Since his early days, he has shyed away from showing off his skills on the guitar and put all of his focus on the lyrics and delivery over simple but very catchy tunes. This is by far Mayer's most dramatic and impressive reinvention. His maturity and understanding of himself and his music is more than evident on every track, from the nostalgic and powerful “Born and Raised” track to the analogous tale of his struggles told in “Walt Grace’s Submarine Test.” This may be his best album yet, if not for the classic Continuum. Definitely worth a purchase on iTunes, you won't regret it.

jdamaso84 - Best album I've heard in years

I was never a John Mayer fan until I listened to "Continuum." Even after hearing that album, I figured it was probably a "one off" and I had heard what would inevitable be his one and only truly great record. Then Born and Raised was released and I realized Continuum is really where John Mayer turned a corner, and since then he seems to only be getting better. This album, Born and Raised, is the best record I've heard in years and is a perfect mix of soul, rock, and folk. But most of all, you can't help but appreciate the clear honesty in the songwriting by perhaps one of the most intrinsic popular songwriters in music today. Give this record two or three listens and you'll quickly realize you'll probably be listening to it for the rest of your life.

Dino Mirasola - Different but fantastic

Honestly I have skimmed over this album many times in the last 4 months and really just disliked at first but now that my ears are tuned to it I see the blues and mellowness which is absolutely GREAT

Mike845 - Best album yet!!!

This is the best album John Mayer has put out hands down! This solidifies the fact that John is the best songwriter of our generation. Walt Grace Submarine Test is one of the best songs he has written. Buy it now!!!

AngiePand3 - OBSESSED!!

I have been in love with 'Room for Squares' since I was introduced to John Mayer in 2003. I didn't think anything could compete with the way that CD makes me feel. But 'Born and Raised' has done just that. I can't get enough of listening to it. I'm am completely OBSESSED!! Worth every penny!!

takimeta - Count Me As Down For The Ride

Why are there so many people wishing for Mayer to release something that's reminiscient of his past work? He'll do it if he feel's like it. I, for one, welcome this new change, and I really love this album. In fact, if it's not country, then it's the closest to country music that I'll ever admit to loving. I'm a dyed in the wool, true blue, through and through Rock 'N Roll fan, and hearing this new direction from Mayer is a wonderful and gratifying breath of fresh air. I'm really enjoying how many big musicians are doing their own versions of Americana themed music. The track that really brings this home for me is "Love Is A Verb". Man, this is inspiration at its finest.

Guitom 12 - Born and Raised

Beautiful Music!!!!!!!

Supersanti91 - Great

Such a different approach at music with the same passion and meaning behind every lyric! Just great!

2achipoo - Shewww

I play harmonica mandolin and guitar... After listening to a couple songs I was in that kinda trance that musicians fall under when improvising... This was album I was meant to buy.

Maddaaw - He's perfect

He can seriously do no wrong. John Mayer is amazing and I can't wait to see him on tour.

Pnomh - Give it a shot.

It's true in this album, it's less rock and much less Continuum. But I just have to say this: Listen to Age of Worry and Submarine, through earphones. If those two don't rekindle your love for the blues rock John, then yes this album won't be fulfilling for you. For me, those two are the best tracks on this album.

1234-Blake - Born and raised

I love the blues feel of this album! John really expressed a side of him that Is different in many ways! He has done many different things with his music like with the John mayer trio and I think this blues album is one to remember

theNextPre - The New JM

Born and Raised is an innovative new step for John. Long term JCM fans and musicians will fall in love with the album more easily, but everyone should give it a chance because John executes the organic cowboy sound perfectly. This coming from a young guitarist and a huge blues fan of JM, BB King, Hendrix, SRV, etc... I believe that John is one of very few artists capable of adapting his style to his maturing mind and heart and putting feelings into music apathetic of what mainstream listeners will think. Think about it, Room for Squares and Heavier Things were both primarily "pop" music. John then showcased his abilities as a blues guitarist through Continuum. In Try JM's mastery as a guitarist really shines through, and at Where The Light Is (Live in LA), it is obvious that John can play and sing several genres perfectly and put on an amazing show. Battle Studies took a step towards a new John but with his Playboy fiasco John kind of fell off the radar for a bit. But Born and Raised is JM's return as a new and matured man. Now on to the review. In Born and Raised you can feel John's sincerity through every song. Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey, A Face to Call Home, and Born and Raised are a few of the deeper acoustic driven songs that I've liked so far. Queen of California and Something Like Olivia both prove John still has the style and ability to create intricate guitar pieces, but is putting his efforts more into creating relatable, well-written, organic sounding music now. The harmonica, pedal steel, and violin accompanying John on his new Martin guitar throughout the album give Born and Raised a unique feel that is hard not to enjoy. I feel pretty lame for writing a review this long but trust me the album was worth the wait, even if you are a huge fan of his old style. Just give it a chance.

Neeka Rae - Western

It definitely was out of John Mayer's style of music. But the lyrics are just as good as any other record. I would describe this album as more western sounding. Not country at all. I applaud John for going out of his normal style of music, and making something completely new for him, and his listeners. All around a good album.

A.K.1969 - Mayerly great, not quite genius

John Mayer's recent effort into musical adulthood has taken a reflective westwardly detour from his decidedly urban blues collaborations with established industry talents. Born and Raised takes Mayer fans out of the dingy, smoke filled rock and blues clubs and classic urban haunts we've come to expect from his journey from 20 something singer/songwriter/guitarist to bona fide industry hot shot work horse and promptly plops them down in the mythical plains of Western starry skyed love songs. His exodus from poppy blues rock towards the more western soul filled ballads and haunting guitar licks longing for true love and a sense of home directs the listener to slow down, stop and listen to their heart and to come to terms what the definition of love is to them. Make no mistake, Born and Raised is classic Mayer and will find it's way naturally into it's place among his life long works. On the other hand this latest musical endeavor will neither define him as an artist nor leave the most ardent fan satisfied. Surely the best is yet to come from one of America's very best musical talents to come along in the past 30 years.

P Cakes :) - Addicted

I am going to see John in the summer when he plays in my town. I bought this CD to really get to know his new music and to enjoy his concert even more so knowing the songs but I am completely addicted! I love every single song! I bought this CD for my brother who is a musician with a similar style. He plays acoustic guitar and harmonica and I told him he MUST learn some of these songs. What a gift John has with his amazing voice and song writing genius! Thank you John! So happy he got through the throat scare. I can't wait to see him live. I even have my Mother falling in love with his music and she is a senior citizen. Lol! I hope he includes Why Georgia which is one of my favorites besides Shadow Days!

Tharison - Different but very good

It is different then his other albums but it is better then i thought it would be.

Tristan Z.D. - Amazing

JM is just a genius!! this album is spectacular!

C-mor-butts - Mehhh

I'm a HUGE mayer fan and I have always argued him to be one of the greatest guitar players ever. But this album just isn't John mayer to me. It needs to be about him and the guitar not these sappy country sounding songs. I was a huge fan of his blues music and I hope he releases some more blues music in the future

Cocoacola - Just Beautiful

I've always loved Mayer, and always will. Any criticism this album gets is ridiculous, because every song is great in it's own way. This is real music.

Obesstrug - Mr

JM has definately found his groove. This is an amazing album, and sjows what this guy can do when he isnt writing music for the masses! This album is so honest and mellow, and filled with brilliant nuance and great lyrics. Definatly his best yet in my opinion. I wish we could get hold of more songs like this from him!

aub66 - Different

John Mayer has grown up since his last album. I have always loved how John Mayer loves to change his own image, genre, and feel of his own music. After reading his story about moving to Montana, I fell in love with the album all over again. Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967, was a song that struck most interesting to me. It was a song unlike I had ever heard before, it was himself portrayed through Walt Grace. At first, I didn't quite understand it. I went to read the lyrics and after reading his own story from the past 3 years, it made so much sense. It became much more relatable. John Mayer knows how to keep his fans intrigued and excited to see what he will come out with next, and he did just that with his Born and Raised album. 5 STARS!

Flarky34 - boo

not special

Dailey 32 - Very Smooth and Easy

Here's the thing, the album is not John's typical line up. Its a nice, easy, mature sound, and is certainly like no other Mayer album, and I really like it for that. That being said, it is a little bit more country than i expected and there is almost no fast paced song on this album. It's still a fantastic album and can't be missed.

TVangordon - BLOWN AWAY

This album really shows how mature he is now. He's come along great. It's been great watching the progression.

Ifan1527 - EXCELLENT!

Yet another great album!

iVampireStalker - Awesome

His song writing relates to me. Very amazing. It wowed me. :)

PurrBird - Awesome Album!!!

Original and amazing.

tabu101167 - Magnificent!!

An amazing album, completely different from its predecessor, which was completely different form IT's predecessor. I could go on. For sheer versatility and the ability to embrace new musical styles to suit his state of mind, few can come through like John Mayer. From the opening bars of "Queen of California" we're taken on a mellow, contemplative journey. Songs like If I ever get around to living Walt Grace and Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey are songs belonging to a bygone, beautiful and nostalgic era. Shades of CSNY, Bob Dylan and America abound. The lack of Gramy recognition is a shocker for this beautiful album.

Mattkiran - My Favourite Album By Mayer!

Okay first of all I'm a huge Mayer Fanboy and I'm not ashamed to say it buy I simply love his music! But this album is simply A-Mazing..... Song like Something Like Olivia, Shadow Days are just Flawless...... but the highlight song of this album is Queen Of California which is no doubt the best song of his carrier... Amazing John Mayer keep up the awesome work!!
