The Search For Everything

JohnMayer (Columbia)

The man who has dated Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson releases a break up album. None, or all, of them may have inspired lines such as ‘you never know how it’s going to be to watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes’. Though there are flashes of his expertise on guitar, this is essentially low temperature white boy soul, ala the Lighthouse Family. It’s gently funky with a little bluesy spit and polish. Perhaps enough for his millions of fans, but not the rest of us.
