John Mayer never released "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" as a single, and it didn't matter. The song, which he wrote alone for his 2006 album Continuum, earned a platinum certification in America anyway, plus gold in Denmark and silver in Britain, and it has turned into one of his biggest earners.
Mayer sings it over a rhythm section of Steve Jordan on drums and percussion and Pino Palladino on bass, and the reviews keep circling back to the guitar: Stereogum heard Clapton-esque lines running through it, and Crypticrock singled out a sultry, somber solo that suits the picture of a relationship going down in flames. Billboard went so far as to rank it Mayer's best song.
