Brushfire Fairytales

Amazon.com
Fans of Willy Porter, Ben Harper, and G. Love will all want to check out Jack Johnson's engaging folk- and blues-inflected pop. Born in Oahu, Hawaii, Johnson, a former surfer and film-school graduate, has a knack for acoustic ballads whose calm surfaces hide a subtle but strong lyrical undertow. "It seems to me that 'maybe' pretty much always means 'no,'" sings Johnson on "Flake," which features crony Harper on slide guitar. Production by J.P. Plunier (who also handles Harper's recordings) is simple and uncluttered: acoustic guitar and drum tracks share the foreground with Johnson's easygoing vocals, which evoke everyone from G. Love (who recorded Johnson's "Rodeo Clowns" on his Philadelphonic album) to Nick Drake to Willy Porter. And while Johnson may not have Porter's guitar chops, these songs have a relaxed beauty and understated depth that reward repeated listening. --Bill Forman

Knocked my Socks off....& blew 'em Away!.......2007-03-28

For me, that's plenty nuff said, right there!
I don't get blindsided like I did when I caught his act somewhere in the music and was left to wonder "What and Who was THAT?..WoW" Same thing happened during the last membership drive for OPB...caught a snippet...then my dtr in law sent me his album. I thought, Who the heck's Jack Johnson? Now I know. It put the name to the music that haunted me and oh boy is he something else. Fabulous. I think I could probably be happy as a big ol fat mud hen, just to take this CD and maybe a Macy Gray and some Shawn Mullins...and go to that proverbial deserted island, a happy camper. Food?...Well at least my soul would be well fed. I've had a Dave Koz CD in the car's player for 2 yrs. It will finally get to come in the house for a well-deserved rest, while this one goes traveling for a while! The back-up for his vocals are totally outstanding. Nobody can say that I "don't know Jack", anymore; that's for sure! Looking for a new and totally addictive, musical high?....Here 'tis! A beautiful baker's dozen.

Jack Johnson is smooth and the tunes are catchy and stay in your head.

Rythmic souds.......2007-01-25

More laid back that his "in between dreams" album. Great soothing voice. song lyrics vary from topic to topic. Awesome driving music. The song "Bubble Toes" make me want to dance everytime I listen to it!

Jack Johnson is awesome.......2007-01-15

I started listening to Jack Johnson when his Between Dreams CD came out. Who knew this gem was just waiting to be discovered?

Adore him.......2007-01-11

I heard him do an interview on the radio and I fell in love with his music. Hunting down all his CDs :).

An album you'll enjoy again and again.......2005-01-30

I heard BUBBLE TOES on the radio. Sitting in my car, parked at the Bus Stop. I was blown away. In fact I missed my bus because I had to hear the whole song! When I got to work, the first thing I did was go to Amazon and order it.
I don't know what it is about Jack's music. I've listened to this album hundreds of times.
It's a style that is all his own. And that is rare these days.
Imagine a sort of Mellow Hendrix meeting Donovan meeting Bob Marley!!! Does that make sense?
FLAKE, you've all heard. So you know.
FORTUNATE FOOL is my favorite cut on the album.
But then, when a whole album is excellent, its hard to pick
one favorite.
Buy the album....you'll know what I mean.

I know Jack.......2005-01-08

Jack Johnson is a very talented man. His songs are creative, cute, and sometimes quite romantic. This was the first Jack Johnson album I bought, the I got his second one On and On which is another wonderful cd. I now own both of the films he has made (surf documentaries) and their soundtracks which feature music by Jack, G.Love and the Special Sauce, and many more. If you like music by Ben Harper you will most likely love Jack. This music is guarenteed to put you in a good mood.
