180-Gram Black Vinyl LP With Bonus CD

John Mayer's sixth studio album pressed on one 180-gram LP, five songs on side A and six on side B, packed with a printed inner sleeve and a CD carrying the same eleven tracks in the same order. Columbia Records issued it in 2013.

Mayer produced Paradise Valley with Don Was, the partner from Born and Raised (2012), and the two stayed in American roots territory, with Paul Franklin on pedal steel and Chuck Leavell on keyboards. The title points to Mayer's home along the Yellowstone River in Montana's Paradise Valley, where he has lived since 2012. Aaron Sterling plays drums and Sean Hurley bass; Manny Marroquin mixed most of the record and Bob Ludwig mastered it.

Sessions ran at The Village Studio in Los Angeles, with more recording at Oceanway in Hollywood, and Franklin's steel parts were cut at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. Mixing happened at Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood, except "I Will Be Found (Lost at Sea)," which was mixed at Electric Studios in New York.

Katy Perry duets on "Who You Love," the third single. Frank Ocean sings and plays Wurlitzer on the second "Wildfire," a separate song from the opener, third on side B. "Call Me the Breeze" is J.J. Cale's song; Cale died shortly before the album came out.

"Paper Doll" was the first single, released on June 18, 2013, followed by "Wildfire." The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 145,560 copies sold in its first US week, his first album since Continuum (2006) not to open at No. 1. Metacritic's aggregate of critics' reviews stands at 73 out of 100.
