John Mayer Digs Into His Roots

By Paul Cashmere
Mon, 17 Jul 2006 21:13:16 +1000

John Mayer's forthcoming third studio album 'Continuum' is going to delve into one of the guitarist's passions - the blues.

It has been two years since Mayer released the platinum selling 'Heavier Things'.

For the first time, he has taken on a production role with the record with some help from co-producer Steve Jordan.

The record also brings back Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino, who recorded the live record with Mayer as Trio. As a songwriter, the Trio helped me focus on being more raw," says Mayer. "As a guitar player, it helped me get a lot out of my system and get to a point somewhere between the Trio record and 'Room For Squares' - and that's a really good place to be."

The trio cover Jimi Hendrix's 'Bold As Love' on the record.

'Continuum' will be released on September 12.

Mayer will tour the US from August 24.

  1. Watch John Mayer s Music Video With Prancercise Star Joanna Rohrback

    “Prancercize,” creator Joanna Rohrback has teamed up with John Mayer, so get ready to “Romancercize.” In the video for Mayer’s new single “Paper Doll,” you get to read the lyrics to Mayer’s song as they flash across the screen. Lyrics that , according to some mean nasty haters out there, may be aimed at Mayer’s reported ex, Taylor Swift. Not only is the number “22″ mentioned (the title of one of Swift’s songs), but there’s another lyric, “Someone’s gonna paint you another sky,” that seems directly aimed at Swift’s line “You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain,” from her song, “Dear John.” That last song was allegedly aimed at Mayer and their messy breakup.
