John Mayer geeft op 17 oktober zijn eerste concert in Nederland. De Amerikaanse gitarist is ook hier mateloos populair: de Melkweg was in een half uur uitverkocht. Zijn nieuwe album ‘Continuum’ verschijnt op 16 oktober in Nederland en is vorige week al uitgekomen in Amerika.
De eerste recensies zijn lovend:
“You want to know if I think he’s got the goods to become one of the guitar greats, Guy asks, I think he’s already one of the guitar greats”
- Buddy Guy on John Mayer
“…a smart, breezy album that deftly fuses his love for old-school blues and R&B with his natural gift for sharp melodies and well-constructed songs”….”Mayer displays a new command of all his musical sources” -
- Rolling Stone
"’Continuum’ has the musical gentility that's made him the favorite mellow love man of the text-messaging generation, but the lyrics tell another story. Our hero is ‘slow dancing in a burning room’ with his soon-to-be-ex lady love; he's eyeing vultures outside his door. ‘Keep me where the light is!’ he moans on the soul ranter ‘Gravity’. He's in the throes of a serious reckoning”
– Los Angeles Times
