Continuum by John Mayer
Continuum is an album by John Mayer, released in 2006. 7 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Gravity”, on 9 lists with a best position of #110.
Continuum, John Mayer's third album, landed on Aware and Columbia on September 12, 2006, and it's the sound of the guy from "Your Body Is a Wonderland" deciding he'd rather be a bluesman. The sessions ran from January 2005 to July 2006, through The Village Recorder in Los Angeles, Avatar and Right Track/Sound on Sound in New York and Royal Studios in Memphis.
Steve Jordan and bassist Pino Palladino, his partners in the John Mayer Trio, are all over it, and two songs from the trio's live album Try! turn up here in studio form. The grooves are slow and warm, soul and blues in no hurry, with Mayer's guitar doing as much talking as his voice on "Gravity", "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" and "Stop This Train". It drew an Album of the Year nod, and at the 49th Grammys it walked off with Best Pop Vocal Album, plus Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change".
