Pilot best friend - Simply amazingSimply amazing.
SuperLuke919 - Nooooo!!!!!I can't believe after CONTINUUM and Battle Studies, he had to go and move to Montana and start doing COUNTRY. I just can't accept it. Move back to L.A., John, please! Country is not your style!
Hazelett - I know Country; this ain't CountryFor those saying this album is too country don't obviously listen to country. This is so far from a country album that an album could be. John Mayer is distinctive and has is own genre of music. It fits in the John Mayer style. He has always pushed boundaries and diversified his sound. I hear more bluesy than country. Great Album once again from him
Claudia21d - TerrificSubtle story telling with a beautiful melody throughout. This is not an album to be listened to song by song, but all at once.
Put it on and let it play.
Truly incredible music.
Apple born again - A perfect albumTen years old but still not on sale…waiting…it’s so good
joepsanford - Great and classic MayerI love Mayer music...the man is a genius musically. This album is a new flavor...and I already want seconds.
whydoievenbother4879 - I appreciate Born and Raised, but not what followed.Walt Grace's Submarine Test shows John's gift for storytelling and lyricism packaged with a nice melodic line that sticks in your head. I enjoyed the flow of the rest of the album as well. Obviously the stylings of this album are a marked departure from his previous installment, but John Mayer the person was also making a marked departure from his "previous installment" as a person. So all of that makes sense, and it really comes through in his single "Shadow Days" in particular. However, you can only write one album's worth of personal redemption, and I honestly think John's spent after this one. The evidence is in the entirety of Paradise Valley. That album isn't worth the crumbs of any of his other albums...Anyways, I hope I'm wrong and that John somehow manages to reinvent himself a third time. To clarify what I'd like to see, my favorite albums are 1) Continuum, 2) Battle Studies, 3) Room for Squares 4)Born and Raised 5) Heavier Things. Your opinions may differ, but that's quite alright.
Gingerbread1987 - Way underrated...This album didn’t get the attention it deserved. Amazing... just amazing some of your best work🙌🏼💕😭
Into the Mystery - Identity CrisisMost unusual and disappointing album to date. I love John and this album is ok (assuming you cannot sing or play a guitar worth a lick), but it does not capture his potential. He needs to go grow up and figure out who he is. Moving to Montana after saying some stupid things and doing a Don Was album is not the solution.
Alexandra Read - Just sad...What happened to John Mayer??? Continuum was his last great album but that was really the end of it. What's up with this "western" crap? I certainly don't like it, and there's too many sappy lyrics and not enough of the old John, aka amazing guitar playing and solos. What happened???
StephMayerlol - He never let's me down!I looooove this album!! It's a must get! Can't wait to see him in born and raised tour!!!!!
Orlando Local - Meh.It’s not that I think any of the songs are bad. Some I like, some I don’t. Mostly, it’s just a very dull album. It strays very far from what we’ve heard on previous John Mayer albums. You could say that he abandoned his fan base with this one in search of something else.
It’s not something I would recommend to a friend, whether they were a previous fan of John Mayer or not.
Highway_61 - Want to Like ThisJohn Mayer is an absolutely fabulous talent, and a strength of his is his ability to absorb myriad influences (Clapton, Stevie Ray, Albert King, many more), and from those influences create his own sound, This album, though, is, time and time again, ruined by the lead guitar work that, on “Shadow Days,” for example, is the expropriation of the Marshall Tucker Band guitar sound: I didn’t like it when the Marshall Tucker Band did it, and I don’t like it any better here.
Lisa Evans - Love this albumCant get enough!
Mikey Sayz - Best John Mayer albumHe shines a'plenty, but he stays within the song and lets the songs and the band shine also. Really like this one, and have liked it for a long time.
rezzzaup - Seriously ...The mark of an amazing artists is there ability to be a chameleon in different genres. John Mayer proves that he's not a good pop musician, but an amazing artist. Good job John.
Banana1234567890.1 - Don't go in expecting something PopThis album is amazing... People just need to sit down and listen to the lyrics and just feel the music. You can't go in expecting something pop or too much blues. This album is not for everyone, and that's exactly what he wanted. I think he really got his song writing and recording technique down in this album can't wait for the 2016 release of his new one
hammertyme505 - WOW5 stars enough said.
JukeBox_Hero - SolidThis is the best writing from our boy John Mayer. The lyrics on this album are too good. Personal and profound.
Jillian's Computer - Good albumNice stuff. A change from where he was at a few years ago.
Gregory Cristy - This grew on me hardThis and continuum all day
MandeeCarter - Younger generationI'm part of the younger generation, & I am in love with John Mayer.
I wish people my age would listen to him much more! <3
daverpaar - Mayer turning a cornerI really like how John's music is evolving. Every song on this album is worth listening to. I would say it is a blend of folk and pop, with a little country thrown it. It's very interesting and warm. I hope he continues to make this kind of music.
Capitalism and Freedom - Born and RaisedThis is one of my personal favorite John Mayer albums. This album has a great flow, track after track. This album also has great vocals, great drum solos, and great guitar solos as well. Finally, the instruments wrap around the vocals like no other, and intertwine perfectly. Definitely looking forward to the next limited play album, and extended play album from John Mayer.
Darthbishop - I miss the Blues/Jazz Mayer of oldSorry John Mayer, I just can't follow down this new musical path you're on. But I hope it gives you great success! I just miss the old style of music when you were rocking the blues and some jazz. I don't miss the ultra pop at all actually, that's not my complaint here. I just don't like country twang, or at least I don't like country twang with you since I do like some country music.
MsTiffany7 - Late-comerI am late to the party of this album but timeless music is never out of style. This album is absolutely fantastic. John always carves a lane of his own. Truly amazed at this body of work. It's a classic album with very heartfelt lyrics and melodies from start to finish. There isn't a song I don't like on this album. :) So good!! I guess will now explore the one after this. Lol.
Christ centered music - freshsomething different about this album.. sounds a little western.. you'd hear a lotta harmonica etc. i guess you could say there was a lot of influence from folk music
GarretBGunderson - One of my favorite albums of all timeI have listened to this over and over. Absolutely genius and it continues to grow on me and never gets old.
TriciaRW - Another Round of AmazingI love every single song. Your phenomenal once again impressed and blown away...
Glockmama75 - Emotional and RawI love the vibe of this album. It was given to me as a gift 4 years ago and I have never stopped listening to it. John Mayer is talented and intentional. One of my favorite artists. Inspiring.
josephinedavis - Born & RaisedThis album will never get the credit it deserves. Totally one of my favorite of his albums, can't get enough. Paradise Valley is amazing as well, but they are both very different. I love the difference from this album and his others. Well done JM, well done.
ssiyciy eddzwzd - ZViuutzgdeS Zurich
Natalier76 - RefreshingI love this album. It’s folk-y and personal and it makes me happy. I just started listening to it again recently and it sounds like he has been playing a lot of it on his solo tour so yay!
coxyyyyy - Brilliant!!Honestly, is there really a bad John Mayer song?? He’s a master of music and the fact that he gives us something different with each song is amazing.
JMacBerwickPI - The beauty in this music is palpableThe chord transitions are so delicious and the stories told so unique that John Mayer could become accepted in the same sentence as Bob Dylan. He nailed this album in every way. “Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey” is an honest confession but that’s all that is needed for folks in recovery to hear.
I like this album more than words can say, and that’s why we have music.
groovey grover - Ain't Nothin' Like John Myermargomercy july 20, 2013
Born and Raised is waay different from all of Mayer's previous albums. Walt Graces is a great tune but so are all the ohers when you like John Mayer. If you want something different from the same ol' same ol' download this album, sit back and relax.
MiketheJMfan - A New Genre" What is this im listing to you ask? WHY its John Mayer! The diverse, mindblowing genre!" Mayer pulls through every time as far as im concerned. If it was up to me he would be his own genre. I love this man.
TanyaB. - like nothing he has ever doneI can honestly say that he can not do any worst than this from now on. Thank god he did Paradise Valley. This album doesn't compare to the others. It lost it's JM charm and talent. He strayed too far from his roots. I get he was trying to mature but the sound wasn't right.
Chay18 - Not happyHonestly, I wish I could get a refund for this album download. What was Mayer thinking?
Walter F - When Life Changes, Change with it...When you grow up and leave your youth behind, it's time to take stock of who you are and why you are and get back to the basics.
That is exactly what he's done on Born and Raised.
These songs are pure and uncomplicated. They make for an amazing soundtrack for the open road. Just let them play around the horn a few times and you'll find parts of your soul that connect with his lyrics & emotion.
This isn't Continuum, and that's a good thing. Let this stand on its own and enjoy it for the honest and pure music that it is.
Here are my faves:
Queen of California
The Age of Worry
Shadow Days
Speak for Me
Something Like Olivia (guys, we've all lived this song)
Love Is A Verb
Walt Grace's Submarine Test (it starts slowly, but once the story begins you'll be hooked)
Whisky, Whisky, Whisky
joshijoshssdssd - outstandingThis is the best album John mayer has every made. It is different than all of his other albums and I can tell that he put a lot of effort to make this album a true masterpiece. I love this album and this shows that an artist does not have to be attached to a certain genre. Just be your self and John shows this in the album. Every song on here has a hidden meaning and after you have listened to the songs for a while it will lace onto to you. I believe that this cultivates all of his ideas and really shows he has matured as an artist. He really displayed that he one of the best in the industry and I would recommend this album to anyone.
breming1 - True Masterpiece!This is not only Mayers best, most complete album but one of the best albums ever! One thing you always get with Mayer is well thought out compositions and deep/ insiightful lyrics. His music making and songwriting is second to none. You have to appreciate the fact that he puts so much work and love into it and always gives you his best. The more you listen to 'Born and Raised,' the better it gets. Respect the art
Yeah it is different than his other works but every album of his that he has produced has been more mature and quite different than his previous. The same people said the same thing about Heavier Things when it came out and Continuum as well, If you want to hear one of those albums then listen to them. You wouldn't expect a true artist to paint the same picture over and over again? Then why do some critics want that out of musicians?
The bottom line is that, like it or not, artists evolve. I like the direction he has headed and I will buy whatever Mayer records regardless of the direction he goes because his art is so well composed and we can always count on him to give us high quality music!
@chadfeacher on twitter - Blues/Rock/Folk/CountryThis album will grow on you if you give it a chance. Been a Mayer fan since 2007 and this is totally different which is what I love.
CKJW - AuthenticThis is an excellent authentic feeling record. Hats off John.
dearemilyanne - JOHN EFFFING MAYERThis album is so so good. And seeing him perform live is even better. #mayerisback
RealRocky101 - Great album!I can't even tell you what genre this album is, but I can tell you it's great. This is one of my personal favorites out of all his albums.
BaseballMan3 - GreatMy favorite album of all time. Wall to wall. Not a bad song on it. Thank you so much for Born and Raised. Mayer really knows how to write a song
Bob Aguilar - This album always puts me in a great, chill moodA truly great listen. Mayer finds new ways to inspire us... Thank you!
Ohmaier - :)one word. Talent. can't express how much talent is put into these albums. this being one of the best by John. he is a true inspiration, favorite musician..no doubt about it
MADDS14 - Fabulous!Absolutely in love with every song on this album! John Mayer is perfect! Keep up the awesome work!!!
