Paradise Valley

John Mayer

Sun-drenched Americana and mountain-air folk. A relaxed, unhurried collection of porch-side songs defined by pedal steel and warm, dry production.

It's like sitting on a Montana porch with a cold drink while the sun goes down.

A sun-drenched, unhurried sense of peace that feels like a long-awaited vacation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the pedal steel on Waitin' on the Day creates a shimmering, lonely horizon line.
The sudden, brief transition into Frank Ocean's soulful Wurlitzer interlude on the second Wildfire.
The relaxed, almost casual guitar solo on Call Me the Breeze that feels like a live jam in a living room.
