John Mayer has shared a brand new music video for his Sob Rock cut “Wild Blue.”
The easy-listening tune appears mid-way through Sob Rock, and the video echoes Mayer’s commitment to the ’80s, pseudo-Steve Winwood aesthetic he’s been pushing through this album cycle.
Director Matthew Cullen has described the video as “a four-minute meme-energy dreamscape escape,” noting that he and Mayer “wanted to create a music video meditation that felt at home on your 4×3 television, at a time when MTV was a wild west experimental space and visual effects were fearlessly made on a computer the size of a house. While producing it, I tried to make sure the compositing and computer graphics were polished to 1989 standards. We had a lot of inspiration, but most of all, Tears for Fears ‘Sowing the Seeds of Love’ and ‘The Mind’s Eye’ on VHS (a considerable influence on me). I wasn’t old enough to direct videos during this era, but thanks to this video, I got a bit of wish fulfillment.”
Currently, Mayer is on tour with Dead & Company performing a full summer tour and two weekends in Mexico.

big deal
August 19, 2021 at 1:34 pmYou realize that given the resources and access to the GD world that this guy got, there are literally hundreds of guitarists out there who could rip up and the down the neck for the chestnut jams of the Dead catalog as good or better than this guy? Hell, there is probably a dozen in the town where you live. Seriously.

August 19, 2021 at 2:13 pmTroll is a bad look on you.
I am sure hundreds of guitarists in your town have won Grammy’s, wrote great records, played with some of the greatest musicians of all time and played well with them-keeping up or surpassing them onstage.
I’m sure “friend”, they are all influencers and can tour the country with their own band selling out arenas.
I’m sure they all have watches they made and were taken in to be one of the faces of this whole scene and to lead the band when God forbid Billy, Mickey, Bobby and Phil move on to a better place.
I know you’re trolling, have a great day.
