John Mayer Talks New Album: Can't Wait or Washed Up?

It's been a while since John Mayer released an album. In the time since he released "Battle Studies" in late 2009, the Grammy-winning musician has made headlines for such notable hits as "My D--- Is a White Supremacist" and "Black People Love Me." He also bailed on Twitter to get his head together. But now The Mayer is back with more songs, presumably about heartache.

Mayer's next album, "Born and Raised," will be based in "organic cowboy guitar sounds," a natural progression after multiple shows with Brad Paisley. He told Rolling Stone, "What would it sound like if I wrote an album of cowboy songs on this guitar under the stars. Every new record I start, a new aesthetic comes in. I can’t help it." And so, like Conor Oberst and Beck before him, Mayer will don long hair, a Bob Dylan hat, and attempt to incorporate a country aesthetic into his next album.

    You don't have 1/100 of his talent. How could you?

    Great talents can be a little quirky at times, but when they produce--and they always do--it's a thing of beauty! Go, John!

    The first time I saw him, I didn't think it was possible for him to be any douchier. He has proven me wrong.

    I'm not a fan of him however, the dude is a shockingly talented musician. He's played so many different styles with so many different people he's helped write and produce so much music it would be odd to not like at least one song he's been affiliated with. He's got a very strong fan base as well

    John Mayer will NEVER EVER be washed up. He has far too much talent for that. Whether you like him or not, he is undeniably the most talented musician of our generation. His new album is bound to impress as have all his others. Oh and to say he is washed up because of what he looks like, is the most ridiculous reasoning ever. Music is about the ears not the eyes.

    John Mayer, go ahead and make the country album, thats good for you, but for the love of god stop trying to be Johnny Depp and get your own damn look.

    They have long hair and facial hair too, but unlike Mr Mayer they aren't copying Johnny Depp.

    It's rather sad that you need to resort to name calling. His hair (facial and otherwise), his clothes, his accessories, the list goes on really!
    The way you're defending him, one would think you really are John Mayer!

    I thought Battle Studies was a really good album, although not as good as Continuum. As long as the songs on his album can be done really well live, I'll be a happy person. Gravity is done so well live, especially from 6:25 to the end. I love how it builds!

    This would be maybe a little bit funny if he didn't get Neil Young and Horse with no Name mixed up with John Mayer...
