Mayer followed up by releasing a live album, "Any Given Thursday", in both audio CD and DVD format, which featured many songs from "Room for Squares", as well as covers and previously unreleased originals.

Mayer's second album, "Heavier Things", was released in 2003 and went on to sell over 2 million units in the United States. Again, Mayer released a live album of songs culled from the album's promotional tour with the title "As/Is". After a brief recording hiatus, during which Mayer ventured to form the blues group John Mayer Trio, he returned to the studio and released his third studio album "Continuum" in 2006. Three months after "Continuum's" release, Mayer released an EP of demos from "Continuum"'s early sessions entitled "The Village Sessions", named after the studio it was recorded in, the Village Recorder in Los Angeles.
