"Born and Raised" is the title track of John Mayer's fifth album, which Columbia released in May 2012, the record where he switched direction yet again and headed into folk and Americana, with Bob Dylan, Neil Young, David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash as guiding lights. On this song two of those influences turn up in person: Crosby and Nash add their voices alongside Mayer's lead.
Mayer wrote it alone and produced it with Don Was, Greg Leisz adds lap steel guitar, and Chad Franscoviak engineered. It's unhurried and sun-bleached, a songwriter easing off the throttle.
