John Mayer Sob Rock

4 stars out of 5 -- "Opting to throw it back to the '70s and '80s, instead of chasing today's sonic trends, Mayer puts breakup music in a retro spin cycle, channelling yacht rock heroes such as Hall & Oates, Foreigner and Michael McDonald."
Pitchfork (Website) - "There is a quiet triumph in hearing someone like Mayer using his substantial resources to recreate this sound, bringing in first-hand witnesses like producer Don Was, bassist Pino Palladino, and keyboardist Greg Phillinganes."
