Free Music Review: " Infectiously happy mellow groove"
Hit: 5 Stars
I just heard of Jack Johnson this week when I received "On And On" as a gift.What a fantastic CD, from beginning to end.The CD
reflects the amazing talent of Johnson as a singer, composer and guitarist. He can really write, sing and play. What I like most is the eclectic mix of pop, folk, jazzy fun groove that Johnson carves out with these slick, crafty little tunes. I use the word "little" only to imply they are too short. I wish each song was much longer. Nevertheless, the disc is so superb, I don't care. My favorite tracks are "Rodeo Clowns", Traffic In The Sky",
"Mediocre Bad Guys", "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" and "Taylor". Johnson reminds me of Jon Mayer, Dave Matthews, Michael Franks and the overall product comes out in such a well done package. I can't wait to get his other discs. In the space of a few days, I just keep playing "ON AND ON". BUY IT!
Free Music Review: Jack Johnson Plays On and On and It's Fabulous!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Jack Johnson's sophomore release "On And On" picks up where his debut "Brushfire Fairytales" left off. In all fairness, this could very well be considered the sequel to that album. Johnson utilizes the same group of musicians as the previous disc and continues to flourish with his soulful, playful and hook-layered songwriting.
Musically, Jack Johnson's style is smooth and laid-back but never boring while his lyrics are pure inoffensive poetry.
All 16 tracks on this album are standouts and are breaths of fresh air in the light of the teeny-bopper and 'image-saturated' music which unfortunately is all the rage these days.
Hats off to Jack Johnson for another solid collection of great songs.
On a personal note: Hats also go off to my friend Allison for introducing me to Jack Johnson's music. Thanks Alli.
Free Music Review: How did I miss this?
Hit: 5 Stars
I know this cd has been out for quite some time now, but really--how did I miss it?! This cd is incredible--honestly, my friends haven't heard me shut up about it for a week. Jack is on a completely different wavelength than so many of the artists out there right now. This is an album that will still be a great album in 30 years. I love the fact that this is such a great ALBUM, not just a bunch of individually great tracks. I put it in & actually listen to it all the way through, instead of jumping between tracks that I like. This has made me see how the art of a great album is such a dying trend...mostly due to the current popularity of single tracks of music, made popular by the piracy of music on the internet.
If you decide to take Jack Johnson home with you today, you definitely won't be disappointed.
Free Music Review: Short tracks pack a smooth punch
Hit: 5 Stars
'On and On' took about a month of play to really grow on me. A tremendous fan of Jack's previous release, 'Brushfire Fairytales,' I was a little skeptical when I first listened to this album. Mostly, I thought that several of the songs could've been lengthened, even if it was just another verse and a chorus. But after playing it, the songs started to differentiate from one another and stand out. I no longer doubt this album because the CD just seems to build momentum as the songs progress. And the CD is rather enjoyable for Jack's social commentary. Ranging from our cultural materialism to air pollution, 'On and On' serves as both a lament an exhortation for personal responsibility (see 'Cookie Jar'). Overall, the album is a great disc to just slide in the player and let it go. I say go get it.Free Music Review: How Can You Not Love Jack Johnson?

Days can get pretty stressful people can get on your nerves, how can you chill out? I would recommend popping in a Jack Johnson CD. On and On maybe. Brushfire Fairytales was a great cd one you could chill out to all day. On and on, just the same. Sometimes it is good to take a break from electric distortion screaming vocals and just take a second listen to how beautiful a guitar can sound and enjoy the chill factor of this CD.
Jack Johnson is probably one of the best guitarists I can think of. All of his albums are recorded in his basement in hawaii and he thinks up his melodies while surfing. He is so relaxed takes nothing for granted and it definaltly shows through his music. If you plan on buying a Jack Johnson CD don't buy just one buy them all they are all worth the dough.
