Like many others, the early stages of Steph’s & my relationship had a soundtrack provided by John Mayer. Even before his breakout Room for Squares album, I’d been put onto an assortment of live recordings as well as an independent release that was doing the rounds in my circle.
I taught myself acoustic guitar trying to learn half the songs off of it, and while his later albums demonstrate just how ambitious and capable Mayer is, the quiet voice + deceptively simple guitar riffs on Inside Wants Out hold a special place in my heart.
