Continuum (John Mayer album)
''Continuum'' is the third studio album by American musician John Mayer, released September 12, 2006 on Columbia Records. Recording sessions for the album took place during November 2005 to September 2006 at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles, California, Avatar Studios and Right Track/Sound on Sound in New York City, and Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.〔(John Mayer and Steve Jordan discuss the writing and recording process ). MixOnline. Retrieved on 2009-12-29.〕 Production was handled primarily by Mayer and Steve Jordan. It marked a change in Mayer's musical style, and incorporated musical elements of blues and soul more heavily than in his previous work with pop-rock.〔〔〔Anderman, Joan. (John Mayer Takes on Serious Soul Music ). ''The Boston Globe''. Retrieved on 2009-12-29.〕
The album debuted at number 2 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 chart, selling 300,186 copies in its first week. It also reached the top-ten in several other countries and sold over 3 million copies worldwide. Upon its release, ''Continuum'' received generally positive reviews from most music critics and earned Mayer several accolades, including a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 49th Grammy Awards. ''Rolling Stone'' magazine named it the eleventh best album of 2006.
==Background==
Mayer made the decision to name his third album ''Continuum'' at least a year before the album was released. In his column in the April 2005 issue of ''Esquire'', Mayer wrote, "I'm obsessed with time lately, constantly crunching the numbers to get some sense of where I stand in the continuum."〔No byline (2005). ("Mayer hints at the album title" ) Esquire.com (prior to the title's announcement) (accessed March 16, 2007)〕 In his column in the September 2005 issue of ''Esquire'' he confirmed the title, writing, "I've never experienced anything like the recording process involved in making ''Continuum'', my third-album-to-be.〔(Mayer writes in his Esquire Column ) that he intends to name his third album ''Continuum''.〕
The album features mainly new songs, though "Gravity" and "Vultures" are available in live versions from John Mayer Trio's ''Try!'', and "Bold as Love", which is a Jimi Hendrix cover: the first Hendrix cover that Mayer has ever recorded as a studio release (although Mayer has recorded other Hendrix songs over time in live settings such as "The Wind Cries Mary" and "Wait Until Tomorrow"). (Mayer had played "Bold as Love" live many times prior to the release of ''Continuum'' such as on the televised ''Tsunami Aid: A Concert of Hope'' which aired on January 15, 2005.) The album contains a collaboration between Mayer and 8-string guitarist Charlie Hunter on the tune "In Repair". The song "Stop this Train" was written during a time of, what Mayer calls, "solitary refinement;" He was in bed suffering from double kidney stones, and living in a hotel while finding a new residence.〔Mahoney, Lesley (October 24, 2008) ("John Mayer: Converting Information to Inspiration" ), Berkley.edu (Retrieved 2008-11-02)〕
