In 2004, Mayer worked with hip hop artist and producer Kanye West, appearing both on rapper Common's Go and was to be included in West's Late Registration, but their collaboration Bittersweet remains unreleased. Due to these collaborations, Mayer has received praise from rap heavyweights like Jay-Z and Nelly. When asked about his presence in the hip hop community, he said:

  "It's not music out there right now. That's why, to me, hip-hop is where rock used to be."  

It was around this time that Mayer began hinting a change in his musical interests, announcing that he was "closing up shop on acoustic sensitivity." In 2005, he began a string of collaborations with various blues artists, including Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and jazz artist John Scofield. He also toured with legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, which included a show at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.

Although Mayer has maintained a reputation for being a sensitive, meticulous singer-songwriter, he is also an accomplished guitarist influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Freddie King, and B.B. King. Mayer has worked with many important and provocative blues musicians, including Clapton (Back Home, Crossroads Guitar Festival), Guy (Bring 'Em In), Scofield (That's What I Say) and King (80).

John Mayer Trio

In the spring of that same year, Mayer formed the John Mayer Trio with bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan, both of whom he had met through previous studio sessions. The trio played a combination of blues and rock music. In November 2005, they released a live album called Try! The first single, "Who Did You Think I Was?," lyrically underscores Mayer's decision to move away from acoustic pop music. In October 2005, the Trio opened for The Rolling Stones during a sold-out club tour of their own.

The John Mayer Trio took a break in mid-2006. John declared at the end of their performance at the Tempe Music Festival in March of 2006, "This is Steve Jordan, that's Pino Palladino, and I'm John Mayer. And for a few more minutes, we are the John Mayer Trio." On September 12, however, he announced plans for the Trio to begin work on a studio album.
