Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2012, 'Born and Raised' is John Mayer's fifth studio album, coming after a hiatus due to vocal cord issues. This period marked a significant artistic shift for Mayer as he moved away from the pop-rock sound of his earlier work towards a more roots-oriented style. The album finds him exploring themes of nostalgia and self-discovery at a pivotal moment in his career.
