John Mayer’s Benign Revolution Is Under Way

David Lindquist of the Indianapolis Star reviewed John Mayer’s show Sunday at the Murat Egyptian Room, calling him a ‘worthy rival’ to Dave Matthews’ frat-rock throne. Lindquist revealed the singer scored laughs with a near cover of the Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way’ during the set. Of the Matthews comparisons, he adds, “Consider that Mayer enunciates when he sings, writes songs tailored for radio airplay and plays stylish guitar solos. Mayer also is better-looking than Matthews and more personable with an audience.”
