Well, that’s a wrap on release week promotion for Born and Raised. It’s so phenomenally weird to wake up this morning at home and not in the back of a bus somewhere. On the bright side, releasing this album and getting back in touch with my fans has been something I’ve been waiting to experience for a long time now. I’m finally at a place in my life where I can truly appreciate the kindness and support, and you have shown me lots of it. Thank you for that.
As I understand it, the album is set to enter the charts at number one, which is just incredible on all your parts because there has been very little I’ve been able to do to promote it. In a world of schemes and strategies when it comes to selling something, you guys just bought music you trusted you’d like. You picked it up in the same way I made it… from the heart, no trickery. That is so cool and rare and all the marketeers in the world together can’t manufacture that. I am very grateful to you.
The making of this record was purposely undocumented, but there are a few iPhone videos and some photos to share. I figure I’ll do that here, and more often than I usually have in the past. Even if this album slides off the charts in a month, it doesn’t make it any less special to me, and we should all be digging this music together, like we would have (and will again) on stage.
Stay tuned…
with thanks and love

Here’s the thing JM… I have been thinking about, and worrying about you like we are good friends.
. You have the unique ability to bring people into your life. Anyway, my point is that I respect and value you as a performer and I miss your voice. At the end of the day, please smile because you accomplished these great milestones with class, dignity and a whole lot of fans!So let sleeping dogs lie or lying dogs sleep or whatever… I agree.
Pre-Order
Pre-order Born and Raised on iTunes and preview clips of the the album now… Kind of cool that the clips start at the beginning of each song. I never really know where I’m being dropped in when I listen to previews… “Fool to Love You” is an iTunes exclusive. Hope you like what you hear.
So excited! Hey, are you back on twitter? Some loser with apparently no life, is posing as you at @John_Mayer. The media is using this now as you. I sent a note to M.M. as well. Always looking out for you! (: XXOO

Got a cool tone going tonight… Super touch responsive. (No looper involved.)
LOVE the vibe! Thank you so much for sharing. (:
I want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the love and kindness you’ve shown me over the last week. It was such a wonderful and moving show of support that at times I almost felt embarrassed by it. (I don’t like taking up too much of the overall field of view.)
I also want you to know that I’m cool with things. Transitioning from bummed to inspired, and getting excited for you to hear this upcoming album while I dive deeper into another one.
Thanks again for the love.
John
Thank you for checking in. Consider yourself hugged.

Cannot wait for your new record! This afternoon I listened to Room For Squares from start to finish. I had selected my favorite songs and added them to my play list. It was as though you had released several wonderful songs today. You have the voice of an angel. (: you are so talented and blessed - always keep this in your heart, and mind. XXOO
