Collection: John Mayer Vinyl Records

John Mayer's catalogue covers more ground than the early-2000s singer-songwriter framing suggests. Room for Squares opened with acoustic pop; Continuum pivoted toward soul and blues; the Try! album with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino captured one of the great live trios of its generation; the recent work has eased into a quieter, country-adjacent register.

The records benefit from vinyl pressing partly because Mayer is a famous tone-chaser — the guitar sounds on Continuum and Try! in particular were tracked with vinyl playback in mind.

Best John Mayer Albums on Vinyl

Continuum (2006)
— His soul-and-blues pivot, with "Gravity", "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" and "Stop This Train". His best.

Room for Squares (2001)
— The breakthrough debut. "Your Body Is a Wonderland", "No Such Thing", "Why Georgia".

Born and Raised (2012)
— His quieter, country-and-folk-leaning album recorded in Montana. Genuinely beautiful at points.

Sob Rock (2021)
— A 1980s-inflected, soft-rock pastiche that turned out to be one of his most cohesive late-career statements.
