Album Description

Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. Indeed, the Hawaiian surfing champion turned alternative pop-folk star really hasn't changed things one iota for his sophomore release. Fans of Brushfire Fairytales should be delighted with the results. The groove is a mellow one--most of the 16 tracks here are semi-acoustic--and that easy-going spirit filters into Johnson's lyrical philosophies. "What will be will be / And so it goes" he sings on "Times Like These," the opening track. Thankfully, Johnson is never too mellow, and there's a "Don't worry, be happy" vibe to most of his music. "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" even has a pseudo-reggae feel to it. Although classified as an alternative musician, the singer-songwriter's compositions owe much to past hits. "Traffic in the Sky" is reminiscent of Jim Croce's "Operator" and Looking Glass's one-hit-wonder, "Brandy." On the splendid "Taylor," Johnson sounds an awful lot like Donovan. And "By The Way" recalls the Lovin' Spoonful. -- Bill Holdship

 I like Jack Johnson December 30, 2008
This is great music for anyone who likes groovy acoustic guitar tunes. I always seem to be in a better mood after listening to this and I can't help but tap my foot and sing along.
Good CD December 19, 2008
Good CD, I enjoy it more at home as background muic than something I would listen to all the time in my car.
 Jack Johnson December 12, 2008
For anyone who is not familiar with jack johnson, On and on is a good place to start. For me its a staple that is always with me. Jack Johnson is the real deal. he pulls no punches and he ain;t fakin it.
Good When The Mood Hits September 3, 2008
The fact that this guy would probably be a hit with John Mayer fans is a blow to this guy, since John Mayer is easily one of the worst hacks making music (no, muzak) today. I was hinted to call this guy a slightly more interesting John Mayer with an acoustic guitar. Sure, it's not deep music, it won't start anything, but it's breezy, chill music (not muzak, thank god). It's definitely worth getting.
The sound of Jack Johnson is a good one, it will definitely relax you. It's a very chill album, but it's soothing and makes you feel good, than rather making you feel drowsy, bored, and wanting to rip your hair out. Jack Johnson plays smooth, sharp, refreshing melodies on the guitar, and his very cool voice floats together. The rhythm section really makes it come to life, catchy, groovy, it gives it a great flavor. The percussion makes it even better. It's got great sense of chemistry, there is no arguing with that.
Yeah, it's not great, but good stuff to listen to. I definitely can't recommend this album to everybody, especially since this kind of stuff is probably a fratboy favorite (ugh). No matter, it's still worth listening to.
7/10
great easy listening June 21, 2008
Been a Jack Johnson fan for a few years now, his stuff is great. Makes you want to kick back on the beach with a chair, an umbrella, and possibly an adult beverage and let the worries of the world slip away!
