John Mayer Wades Into Country Waters With “In The Blood”

John Mayer is releasing a new song to country radio, “In The Blood,” which is being promoted via Arista Nashville. The single is a track from his latest album, The Search for Everything, which came out last month. The project is Mayer’s first since 2013’s Paradise Valley.

The song, which delves into family bonds and how much our parents end up undeniably influencing our own lives, is available now.

Mayer is no stranger to the country genre, having collaborated with Keith Urban for a CMT Crossroads episode, with Taylor Swift on the song “Half Of My Heart,” and performing at the Zac Brown Band‘s Southern Ground Music Festival in Nashville several years ago as well.
