"Mayer slings his guitar on 'Continuum' tour". " Wait Until Tomorrow" ( The Jimi Hendrix Experience cover) Katy Hastey of Billboard found that "while "Try!" is brimming with talent, it's not consistently compelling." People magazine heartily praised the album, concluding, "Here's hoping Mayer keeps this new groove going for his next solo disc." Track listing No. Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone said, "over most of these sixty-three minutes, Mayer proves he can bowl you over, not just make your knees weak", ultimately giving the album three out of five stars. Reception Professional ratings Review scoresĬritical response to the album was mixed, with most critics being impressed with Mayer's progression and Palladino and Jordan's musicianship, while still being underwhelmed.


The CD includes two cover songs, " Wait Until Tomorrow" by Jimi Hendrix, and " I Got a Woman" by Ray Charles two of Mayer's previous album, Heavier Things' songs, " Daughters" and " Something's Missing" and also showcased two songs from Mayer's then forthcoming album, Continuum, "Vultures" and " Gravity". Unlike previous efforts by John Mayer, Try! focuses on popular blues renditions rather than adult-contemporary pop songs. The trio features John Mayer (guitar/lead vocals), Pino Palladino (bass), and Steve Jordan (drums/backup vocals).
