Description
His new CD Battle Studies is a collection of his observations, life's lesson, and some advice. Mayer said Battle Studies is, "Like a heartbreak handbook."
The fourth track "Who says" challenges the mainstream media and their fascination with his personal life, with lyrics like "Who says I can't get stoned? / Plan a trip to Japan alone". Steering away from the style of song writing he did with the Continuum album, Mayer's aimed for something fresh and new. Touring alongside the album's release, Mayer has another wave of exposure for his music. Pushing for a greener tomorrow, his philanthropic work for countering global warming has led him to tour in a converted bio-diesel-fuelled bus, and contributes to events like Live Earth.

Comments about COLUMBIA John Mayer - Battle Studies:
As a latecomer to the John Mayer fan club this was my first purchase, quickly followed by his entire back catalogue. Exceptional album, great songs, very mainstream and one I've recommended to loads of friends. I even sent it to my 75 year old Dad in England - via CD Wow of course - and he loves it!
Service and delivery comments:
Perfect - had an issue with ordering it for my Dad in the UK from Australia and the CD Wod service team were brilliant at sorting out a problem.

Comments about COLUMBIA John Mayer - Battle Studies:
Some very good lyric (Heartbreak warfare)
The pace is taken out of songs and guitar player reduced to pretty underlay. The idea already on Continuum from 2006, which found it difficult to redeem the great musicality, as John Mayer holds and came beautifully reflected in the live release with John Mayer Trio.

Comments about COLUMBIA John Mayer - Battle Studies:
John Mayer shines on his new album about love and loss. The best track would have to be Assassin and Heartbreak Warfare but they are all perfect! Well done John!
