Room for Squares is John Mayer's 2001 major-label debut, the record that introduced his conversational songwriting and nimble fingerstyle guitar to a wide audience. Built on introspective, blues-tinged pop-rock, it moves from the wry coming-of-age reflections of No Such Thing to the easy charm of Your Body Is a Wonderland and the hushed, aching Why Georgia. Mayer's knack for turning small, everyday moments into big singalong choruses is all over these songs, and his guitar work already hints at the blues player he would become. A warm, easygoing listen for collectors and newcomers alike.
