Sob Rock – John Mayer

Description

John Mayer’s latest album, Sob Rock, is a nostalgic trip back to the sounds of 80s pop-rock. Released in 2021, the album features Mayer’s signature guitar work and smooth vocals over catchy synths and drum machines. The Sob Rock Vinyl transports you to a different era. The album’s lead single, “Last Train Home,” is a perfect example, with its infectious chorus and vintage music video that pays homage to classic MTV. The album’s title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the cheesy ballads of the 80s, but don’t be fooled – Sob Rock is full of sincere emotion and vulnerability. In tracks like “New Light” and “I Guess I Just Feel Like,” Mayer reflects on the ups and downs of love and life with his trademark sincerity.

Sob Rock also features some impressive guest appearances, including Maren Morris and guitar legend Steve Jordan. And for guitar nerds out there, Mayer even recreated his iconic “Number One” Stratocaster for the album’s recording. Overall, Sob Rock is a fun and engaging listen that showcases Mayer’s continued evolution as a musician and songwriter. If you’re looking for the perfect album to blast in the car with the windows down, this is the one. For more information on the Sob Rock Vinyl, click here.
