When he’s not knocking off top models, John Mayer’s gotta do something on those lonely nights @ home.
“I’ve been thinking of a way to say thank you for making Battle Studies such a huge success out of the gate… I’ve also been thinking of a way to use tumblr as a means of posting some more substantial stuff… So here’s a very raw, live solo version of “Edge of Desire” I just recorded in my apartment as a way to show my gratitude to you all for extending my time in this amazing career you’ve helped me build.
I think if you were kind enough to spent the 13 bucks, you should get some free music for the next good while.
So here it is. A song about late night longing recorded at 3am. iPhone dinging in the background and all…(that’s how I knew the take was going to be worth sticking with, as the best takes always get interrupted.)
Thank you.
More to come…”

John Mayer might be good, but Nick Drake is the best. Give Pink Moon a listen.

I like John Mayer, tough I haven’t really listened to his albums. I had Battle Studies just sitting on the hard drive and this post convinced me to give it a listen. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for posting this. I didnt even know he had a new album out until I read an article today about someone else’s new album and they compared the sales
Gotty, what other “urban blog” can I see a John Mayer track posted?
Very dope. Thank you.
