“I’m really into this kid Brett Dennen, who I heard at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. He may get lumped in with the Jack Johnson feel-good/barefoot thing, but he’s so much different than that. He’s time- less-he’s probably twenty-five, but he seems like he’s twenty-five in 1972. He paints these gorgeous pictures, musically, where you think, ‘I want to hear his voice, I want to hear that guitar, and I want to hear those melodies.” —John Mayer as featured in Rolling StoneJohn Mayer - Rolling Stone (Oct 2, 2006)
