I was hoping someone would post about Lindsay's album. She's a Country" artist, but her would be producer asked her what her favorite album is and she said John Mayer's Continuum. I personally love his blues bent on his Trio album. That is the album that resurrected me so long ago from Greatest Hits compilations of my classic rock artists. I actually believed acceptable music died in the mid 70's. I had bought Mayer's Room For Squares and liked it and later really listened to Continuum after I'd heard his live blues masterpiece. Continuum truly is his the album he'll be remembered for in the future and that leads me back to Lindsay Ell. That producer, who is half of the band Sugarland, told her the recreate Mayer's album solo. Yeah not only was she asked to record all the songs on the album, but was asked to play every instrument, record, mix and arrange it herself.
Some people compare her singing to Sheryl Crow, but this girl really stands out as an exceptional guitarist. Her version of Hendrix's "Axis Bold as Love" done by Mayer on his eponymous album is nothing less than outstanding.
Anybody on this forum that has turned a deaf ear to new music needs to believe great music is still being created and in this instance recreated with reverence.
