John Mayer wrote "Stop This Train" alone, words and music, and it landed on Continuum, the third album he released through Aware and Columbia in September 2006. He sings lead, with Jamie Muhoberac on keyboards and James Valentine on guitar, and the rhythm section is telling: Steve Jordan, the singer and drummer who produced the album, plays drums and Pino Palladino plays bass, the same pair Mayer had toured with the year before as the John Mayer Trio, a run that also gave them the live album Try!
Continuum was the record where Mayer leaned harder into blues and soul than on his earlier, more pop rock work, and it took its time: sessions ran from January 2005 to July 2006, bouncing between Los Angeles, New York and Memphis. It went on to win him the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album.
