“Vultures” by John Mayer
From the album Continuum (2006)
“Vultures” by John Mayer appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2013. It was first released in 2006 on the album Continuum. Its best result is #540 on the WXPN 885 Greatest Songs of the New Millennium (2013).
"Vultures" sits on Continuum, the third album John Mayer released through Aware and Columbia in September 2006, and it's a three-way songwriting job: Mayer wrote it with drummer Steve Jordan and bassist Pino Palladino, the pair he'd toured with the year before as the John Mayer Trio, releasing the live album Try! along the way. Jordan, a singer as well as a drummer, produced the album.
On the track Jordan and Palladino lock down the rhythm, Ricky Peterson adds keyboards and Mayer sings lead. It comes from a record that leaned harder on blues and soul than the pop rock he'd made before, cut in sessions that stretched from January 2005 to July 2006 across Los Angeles, New York and Memphis.
