Well, honestly, I guess so. Never really thought I would like him, although I know everyone always tells me what a gifted musician he is, I have a hard time getting into his poppy radio-friendly stuff. However, people kept telling me what I good guitarist he is, so I decided to finally give him a chance and check out some of his live stuff under the name "John Mayer Trio." And, I have to say I'm impressed. The songs are really bluesy, the solo's are sweet, and he has a great voice.
Not saying this is one of my favorite albums of all time by any means, or that I'm going to listen to it nonstop until I know every minute detail of each song structure. However, it is still nice to know that someone as famous and popular as John Mayer isn't just some bullshit construction by MTV, but is actually talented and there for the right reasons. If he keeps making music like this, I will definitely keep listening, and I tend to be a pretty harsh asshole when it comes to critiquing music.
If you like John Mayer, you probably already have this album, but if you're in the same boat I was, give it a listen.
