Room for Squares, John Mayer's debut studio album, first surfaced on June 5, 2001, and was sent back out on Aware and Columbia that September 18. The kid had done his time: a stint at Berklee, a move to Atlanta in 1997, a short-lived duo called Lo-Fi Masters with fellow guitarist Clay Cook, the local club grind and a South by Southwest set in 2000 that got him signed, with the Inside Wants Out EP along the way.
John Alagía produced it, and it's acoustic pop-rock with a guitar player's fingerprints all over it, smooth and sweet on top, nimble underneath. "Your Body Is a Wonderland" won him a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, "Why Georgia" rode along beside it, and the album climbed to number 8 on the Billboard 200. It remains his biggest seller, with well over five million copies sold in the US.
