But Mayer held his own on his sophomore LP, delivering dynamic anthems like “Bigger Than My Body,” falsetto showcases like “Clarity,” and one of his most classic slow songs, “Daughters,” all in one record. When you put out a record as quality as Room For Squares as your introduction to the music world, you make it a little difficult to reach that bar again – at least on round two. Sure, Mayer can do folksy, but it just doesn’t feel like a John Mayer album without the occasional ripping guitar solo. In fact, the slower tunes on Born & Raised almost brought out a folksiness in Mayer’s music, which was practically even greater emphasized on Paradise Valley a year later. As indicated by the set lists for Mayer’s most recent tour, this album and Paradise Valley didn’t produce too many classic jams and sing-along moments the way that his earlier albums had.
