Editorial Reviews
Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter and musician John Mayer will release his sixth studio release, PARADISE VALLEY which he produced with longtime collaborator Don Was. Musically, it is similar to his previous album, BORN AND RASIED, which was released in 2012. The album's title is derived from a major river valley of the Yellowstone River with the same name, located in southwestern Montana. This album coincides with John's first US tour in three years, which will hit 40 cities from July 6th through early October.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013I understand people wanting endless sequels to Mayer's Continuum album. I loved that cd, and it's when I started to realize John's considerable talent. That said, Mayer is way too talented and creative to do the same record over and over again. It takes a lot of guts to make non-commercial albums that almost certainly will never be embraced by the masses. John Mayer did it with Born and Raised, and he's done it again with Paradise Valley. I respect him tremendously for following his heart, rather than strictly pursuing commercial success. At first listen, I wasn't sure if I'd like this as much as Born and Raised, and I resisted doing a review until I spent a fair amount of time with the album. I can honestly say that it's growing on me more each day. There's a little bit of everything here: radio friendly - Wildfire, Paper Doll, and Who You Love. A country number called "You're no one 'Til Someone Lets You Down." A nod to JJ Cale with a cover of his classic song "Call Me the Breeze." But the real heart of the album are the five more introspective, Born and Raised type songs: "Dear Marie", "Waitin' On The Day", "I Will Be Found", "Badge and Gun", and "On the Way Home". They show tremendous depth and maturity. In my opinion, there's only one mis-step here, and that's the second "Wildfire" filler track. I feel it disrupts the flow of the album. Despite this very minor issue, Paradise Valley is a keeper. It's an album that grows on you and hooks you more with each listen. In this age of commercialized musical garbage, I'm thankful to know there are still true singer/songwriter performing artists out there. John Mayer continues to expand his musical horizons, and I definitely recommend this high quality piece of work.
UPDATE: It is now October 6th. Having had this album for roughly six weeks now, I wanted to update my review. I have come to admire this body of work even more. The only negative for me remains "Wildfire" (track 8). I feel it disrupts the flow of the album, and just doesn't fit with the other songs. Only my opinion, but I feel it detracts from this otherwise great album. Now the updated positives, which are many. These songs have a maturity and depth that is very refreshing. Many of the songs are on the mellow side to be sure, but they are in now way boring or lifeless. They are instead reflective; John is obviously growing as a person and (hopefully) leaving behind his shallower existence, in favor of a simpler, more authentic life. And it shows in these songs. The other thing I wanted to touch on was the maturity in his playing. I love a blazing, bluesy guitar solo like the next person, but the sign of a maturing guitarist is one who does more with less. Mayer's guitar playing on the album is definitely subtle, but that subtleness makes it all the more powerful. Almost every song has some kind of guitar hook that is very memorable. I've listened to this album for six weeks, and I continue to anticipate the smallest of guitar licks/fills. It's a case of a little equalling a lot. Much as I loved Born & Raised, I think Paradise Valley is surpassing it, and I never expected that. After Continuum, I too wanted to see more of the bluesy' John. After these last two albums, I can honestly say that's not the case any more. That's just one facet of Mayer, but it's way too confining for such a talented musician. I admire him as an artist, and for following his heart, all the while knowing that commercially, he won't reap the reward$ that he would if had repackaged Continuum five different times. Done like a true artist. Good for you John Mayer!

- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2013Everytime John Mayer releases a new album, I always get a little bit nervous. As far as I'm concerned, every studio release of his has been great and I'm always worried he might drop the ball...everyone does from time to time. A lot of Mayer fans continue to clamor for a "Continuum Part 2," so if you are expecting something along those lines, you might be disappointed. However, Paradise Valley exceeded my expectations.
Artists should grow, mature, and continually evolve their music. If every successful artist released an album nearly identical to the sound that made them popular, we'd have a lot of music that didn't push boundaries or try anything new. I think that Mayer started this evolution with Battle Studies, kept moving forward with Born and Raised, and now Paradise Valley is the culmination of those new sounds.
Out of eleven tracks, there are only a couple I could do without. "Wildfire" (the 2nd one) is sung entirely by Frank Ocean. Not that Ocean isn't a good vocalist, but this is a John Mayer album. When an artist releases an album once every couple years, you feel a little disappointed when one of the songs features someone else completely. The two VERY country tracks, "You're No One 'Til Someone Lets You Down" and "Badge And Gun" made me do a double take when I first heard them. They are unlike anything John has recorded before and although I wasn't a fan at first, after a few listens they grew on me.
In summary, John Mayer is one of the best guitarists of the current generation, and while his style continues to evolve, you can hear that creating quality music is still his primary goal. If you are expecting a copycat album of some of his older works, you might be disappointed, but if you listen to Paradise Valley with an open mind, you'll find some pretty great music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mental wellness: Records force you to sit and enjoy great music.
One of the songs on this album came up in an Apple Music "me" station. I listen to the online album, and decided to buy the record. I have learned listening to vinyl, because they are short, forces you to slow down, sit down and enjoy great music. Happy with the purchase. I am not an audiophile, couldn't tell you about pressing quality, etc...

5.0 out of 5 stars John Mayer en Folk Rock
siguiendo la linea de su disco Born & Raised, John Mayer trae Paradise Valley con estilo folk rock y su lírica suave y disfrutable, genial para una tarde lluviosa o un buen día de campo.
En cuanto a la Edición en Vinyl, se encuentra hecha con una excelente calidad, Caja y arte del disco con excelente impresión. LP impreso en 180 Gram Vinyl aportando un sonido profundo y claro, y por si esto fuera poco como bonus adicional viene de regalo una copia del CD del mismo álbum lo cual como fan se agradece.
Una excelente adquisición para mi colección.
