Josh gets the John Mayer comparison a lot. I personally think that Josh's music has more of a southern rock sound. Especially on the track's Follow you, Angeles, and Faces. Then of course there's small town boy. There's always going to be a comparison because it's essentially in the same category of music and they have the same producer (John Alagia--also producer for Mraz and Dave Matthews) so the are all comparable. I think when Josh's second album comes out his the differences between Mayer's second album and his second album will show. But yeah I guess sounding like Mayer isn't a bad thing...I am a Mayer fan as well..so is Josh. But he wrote nearly all of those songs before he's ever heard of Mayer. But yeah I think the more you listen to it the more you'll see the differences.
