John and John play Ray


Here is a funky gem that you probably have not heard of yet... Jazz guitar giant, John Scofield playing a cool cover of Ray Charles's "I Don't Need No Doctor" (iTunes) featuring the vocals and guitar playing of John Mayer. These two guitar heros (though some would say that Mayer does not belong in the same sentence as Scofield) and the seriously deep groove make this song a must have. This track appears on a very cool record from John Scofield called "That's What I Say" where he plays the music of Ray Charles.

"I Don't Need No Doctor" is much akin to John Mayer's collaboration with Herbie Hancock here.
