Americana depicts a landscape of maturity and introspection
John Mayer's lyrical masterpiece stands at the crossroads of blues and country.
The simple arrangement, centered around acoustic guitar, maximizes the emotion of the songs. David Campbell's string arrangements are also superb, adding depth and warmth to Mayer's vocals. This is an important album that marks a turning point for Mayer, breaking away from her past pop star image and establishing her position as a sincere musician.
