John Mayer has taken a beating from the media in the past few years caused by his uncensored interview statements and uncanny love life. However, there is one thing that cannot be disputed; his ability to play the blues unlike anyone else of our generation. Most listeners only know of his pop radio hits and never discover that the raw talent of Mayer is in his live blues performances where he can really let loose and express himself. He recorded a live album in December of 2007 named "Where the Light Is" and it has been one of the most hidden gems of music I have found in the past decade of music. His talent as a composer, performer, and soloist stands out in a generation of music where very few artists have such a comprehensive ability to make music. My definition of a good album is one that you can listen to one hundred times and still be impressed by discovering new details of the songs, and "Where the Light Is" couldn't be more of just that.
