I was never a fan of John Mayer. He made everything look too easy. His fingers cross the frets easily as if he hasn't ever put a moment of thought into it, and he dates the most beautiful women on the planet earth. Yeah, I hate him. Hated is probably a more accurate tense.

I recently made a trip to St. Louise to hang with some friends who's musical taste far supersedes mine and they opened my eyes to a small band called the John Mayer Trio. The ease at which the sounds encountered the drums of my ears was so pleasant that I scarcely noticed I was listening to my arch rival JM.

Since that trip I have converted, and I can honestly say Mayer is a true genius. His latest album (that also happens to be a film) is titled "Where the Light Is" and it boasts 19 live tracks from the Nokia Theater in Times Square. It covers Mayer solo as well as his trio and is a mistake free blend of lovely resting upon my dome like a hat made of cotton candy.

If you have a mellow bone in your body you should pick this album up, and listen. I don't mean shove it into your car's CD player and pump it, I mean throw on your Bose noice cancelling headphones, lay on your back in a field of daisy's and listen. It might just change your life.
