John Mayer - Born And Raised

Mayer produced his new album, 'Born and Raised', with Don Was, who worked on albums for acts such as the Rolling Stones, B.B. King and Bonnie Raitt.

Rock legends David Crosby and Graham Nash provide vocals on the title song and musicians joining Mayer on the album and on the road include highly-regarded keyboardist/pianist Chuck Leavell-who has worked with the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and The Allman Brothers Band-as well as previous collaborators Sean Hurley on bass and Aaron Sterling on drums. Jim Keltner makes a special appearance on drums on 'Something Like Oliva'. Rounding out the touring band are David Ryan Harris on guitar and vocals, Doug Pettibone on guitar and Michito Sanchez on percussion.

Mayer's previous albums-'Room for Squares', 'Heavier Things', 'Continuum' and 'Battle Studies'-have sold more than 12 million copies combined. He has been honored with seven Grammy Awards and an additional 11 nominations. He has also been included in Time Magazine's annual Time 100 list of the most influential contemporary thinkers, leaders, artists and entertainers, and twice been featured on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine's annual "Guitar" issue.
