John Clayton Mayer was born October 16, 1977, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, and started playing guitar at 13 after being inspired by a Stevie Ray Vaughan tape his neighbor gave him. In 1998 he moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he refined his skills and gained a following.
In 2003, he won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the 2002 single “Your Body Is a Wonderland” from the album Room for Squares.
In February 2005, he was awarded the Song of the Year Grammy for his song Daughters, which he composed while in the shower, from the album Heavier Things. In winning the award, he beat out such contenders as Alicia Keys, and Kanye West. He dedicated this award to his grandmother, Annie Hoffman, who died in May 2004. He also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for which Elvis Costello, Prince and Seal were also nominated. In 2007, John won 2 Grammys, one for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for the song “Waiting On The World To Change,” and also Best Pop Vocal Album for his most recent album, Continuum.
To date, Mayer has toured with many groups, including Maroon 5, Guster, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Teitur, Ben Folds, and Sheryl Crow.
In 2004, Mayer worked with hip hop artist and producer Kanye West, appearing both on Go and Kanye West’s Bittersweet (released in the summer of 2007 as an iTunes pre-order bonus track to the album Graduation) and received praise from rap heavyweights like Jay-Z and Nelly.

"Battle Studies" doesn't immediately grab me, but it might take some time to grow on me. I still think "Heavier Things" is his best album, in my humble opinion.

Friends, lovers or nothing is totally ripped off "Isn't it a pity" by George Harrison, though it's still beautiful.

First impressions of the new album? Good stuff. His best? No, but pretty damn good all the same I'd say. I dunno what all the bitching is about.

Well, when I say Battle Studies is a let down, it isn't coming from someone who just liked Continuum. This is coming from someone who's been a Mayer fan since Room for Squares. And I can honestly say it's the weakest thing he's ever done.

AGREED. Get your heart broken and come back and appreciate it.

Everyone keeps saying how Battle Studies is "boring" and "lame".. take some time to actually listen to it and forget about Continuum for a minute. You cant expect an artist to make the same stuff over and over.. John Mayer isn't Nickelback, lets remember that.

Boring new album. Friends, Lovers or Nothing is a good song, but all in all Battle Studies is disappointment.
