Editorial Reviews

From 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

Chronique amazon.fr

Tout de suite on pense à Ben Harper. Ce doit être le soleil qui leur fait ça... Qui les rend cool, leur donne ce sourire dans leur musique. Car celle de Jack Johnson a ce côté décontracté, en même temps nostalgique, d'une époque insouciante où les lendemains chantaient encore. Ben Harper est d'ailleurs un invité de passage sur ce premier album, signé d'un chanteur précédemment tourné vers le cinéma. On pourra le trouver bluesy, funky ou tout simplement relâché, cet album vous sourit et vous masse la nuque, comme des vagues qui lèchent le sable. C'est sur celui de son île de Hawaï que Jack Johnson a composé la plupart des chansons de "Bushfire Fairytales". D'où sans doute cette tranquillité apaisante qui en émane, celle du surfeur qui attend son heure. Le surfeur qu'il fut d'abord invente ici une surf music ultra-cool, fille spirituelle de Jimmy Buffet des années 70. Reposant. --José Ruiz

This guy has an incredible amount of talent, both of his cd's have struck me well. You can listen to all of his songs, and be content. Their all good in their own way. Highly recommended.

AWESOME ALBUM (2004-07-03)

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY OTHER THAN THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS I HAVE EVER HEARD. NO MATTER IF YOU LIKE ROCK, HIP HOP, POP, WHATEVER. IT IS JUST INSANELY GOOD.

I am a METALHEAD! (2004-06-19)

I am a hardcore metalhead (Shadows Fall, Megadeth, Dimmu Borgir, Slayer, Opeth...) but I love this album. This album is beautiful. So good. Buy
