• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

John Mayer

Kinda late to the game. Can you recommend a Mayer studio album (preferably vinyl) that I should have in my collection? I have Try! with Pino and Jordan. That's a rocking record! Thanks!

Continuum -
The essential album on which he departed his earlier pop rock, incorporating more blues, soul, and mature themes. Try! is the live set that followed in its wake. Continuum remains one of his most well-regarded pieces of work.​

Born And Raised -
After a period of success and high profile media exposure, and some torrid rock star behavior, he took a step back and became reflective. Born And Raised captures the 'growing up' with more introspective writing, and marks a stylistic change, where he adapts Americana and Laurel Canyon-esque folk rock into a more subdued, laid back sound, coupled with more expansive band arrangements.​

Thank you. Continuum was also recommended by a family member. I'll start with that one.

Good choice. I misspoke about Try! and botched the order... Actually, Continuum was influenced by Try! not vice versa.
