Well, that’s a wrap on release week promotion for Born and Raised. It’s so phenomenally weird to wake up this morning at home and not in the back of a bus somewhere. On the bright side, releasing this album and getting back in touch with my fans has been something I’ve been waiting to experience for a long time now. I’m finally at a place in my life where I can truly appreciate the kindness and support, and you have shown me lots of it. Thank you for that.
As I understand it, the album is set to enter the charts at number one, which is just incredible on all your parts because there has been very little I’ve been able to do to promote it. In a world of schemes and strategies when it comes to selling something, you guys just bought music you trusted you’d like. You picked it up in the same way I made it… from the heart, no trickery. That is so cool and rare and all the marketeers in the world together can’t manufacture that. I am very grateful to you.
The making of this record was purposely undocumented, but there are a few iPhone videos and some photos to share. I figure I’ll do that here, and more often than I usually have in the past. Even if this album slides off the charts in a month, it doesn’t make it any less special to me, and we should all be digging this music together, like we would have (and will again) on stage.
Stay tuned…
with thanks and love
John
About me
Hello, my name is Mellissa. I live in Loxley, Alabama. I originally started using tumblr because I found out that John Mayer had one. I had no idea what a tumblr was at the time or even how to use it. He is my favorite Artist/ Musician, I love him. I think he is such an amazing guitar player, song writer, and so funny. I got to see him for the first time back in September, 9/6/2010. It was the best night of my life. It would be a dream come true if I could ever meet him. With that being said, most of the things I post on my tumblr are John Mayer related! With the exceptions of other things I like. I also am a fan of Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin. It's easier just to let my blog speak for it's self instead of giving you a list of everything I love and might post.
