Written by Eric Clapton and Robert Cray . . . performed by John Mayer (2002). He sings a little Jeff Buckley in it too. This is just my favorite version and I thought I would share it with everyone!!!

Note to Haters: You know when people criticize famous athletes as though they were anywhere near as talented or had any idea what they were saying. Pick up a guitar and sing to room full of people who are giving you their undivided attention. Then make a living traveling the world filling up stadiums/venues. Then have the greatest guitarist/bluesmen alive say that you are one of the greatest they've ever heard. Do I enjoy his pop stuff? Nope. Is he the best vocalist ever? Nope. Am I mad at Michael Jordan for playing baseball? Nope. Do I critizicize him for his imperfections? Nope. I just go listen to something else. Music is an expression of the individual as well as collective experience. Let it be.

The point is that John Mayer is molding blues guitar with pop music and putting it on the radio. This causes people to want to listen to blues, then those people look into his interests, then look into Clapton, then Hendrix, then Buddy Guy, then BB King. Sooner or later those people are blues fanatics. Just like me.

John Mayer keeps playing pop because he likes it. In some interview he states that he enjoys laying the riffs and steady beats in the pop genre. The blues is his playground. The thrill of laying an incredible blues solo and letting his skills do justice is why he plays the blues. I think that his two parts join each other incredibly good! That he is such a broad music makes him amazing as an musician.

He has won the respect of veteran musicians like Eric Clapton. He can do some really great covers of songs. He puts his own twists on them. I think he is one of the most creative entertainers out there. True music lovers see that and respect that. John Mayer is the bomb!

When I was first introduced to John Mayer, around this time (2002) it wasn't to Room for Squares, it was to a burned CD of tracks like this. It was songs like these that influenced me to start playing guitar. I was always trying for something close to this. The tone really got me. But I think John was playing his version of his idol's style. And moved on to his own sound, leaving songs like this as a period in his playing. I can't wait for other's version of his playing style. Should be as epic.

I love Mayer's take on this Clapton song. Some people are missing the point. It's his interpretation of this classic. He definitely put his signature guitar playing on this. And that's what you'd want from someone covering a classic; their interpretation. The one criticism is that he does sound, vocally, like Dave Matthews. But, that's not a bad thing either!
