Ain't No Sunshine (live At The Crossroads Festival 2010) - John Mayer - MP3 instrumental karaoke

John Mayer’s rendition of “Ain’t No Sunshine,” a live cover of Bill Withers’ classic, was performed with the John Mayer Trio—featuring Steve Jordan on drums and Pino Palladino on bass—at the Crossroads Guitar Festival held on June 26, 2010 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois. That performance was recorded and later released on the official Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010 concert film, distributed by Rhino and Warner Music Group. Though not issued as an audio single nor charted separately, John Mayer’s stripped-back blues interpretation stood out for its soulful depth and musical chemistry, especially Palladino’s groove and his nuanced vocal and guitar phrasing. The live rendition opens subtly, building emotional intensity through restrained dynamics and expressive bends—turning the familiar lament of lost love into a meditative blues moment. This particular rendition of Ain’t No Sunshine,”reinforced John Mayer’s credibility beyond pop into blues mastery.
