Editorial Reviews

Those who know Jack Johnson only as college radio fave are in for a pleasant surprise here, as are wave-riding aficionados with a taste for eclectic, cooled-out musical vibes. The project Surfer magazine hailed as 2000's Video of the Year was originally a collaboration between surfing champ/then-USC film student Johnson and school colleagues Chris and Dan Malloy. But Johnson also gratifyingly took the opportunity to prove that "surf music" is purely a subjective term; indeed, electric instruments are few and far between here, let alone the traditional buzzsaw licks of such genre stalwarts as Dick Dale and Gary Hoey. Instead, Johnson has stitched together an organically focused, acoustic-centered collection that would seem as welcome on a shady creek bank as a sunny, wave-lapped beach. Johnson offers up an acoustic take of his sophomore album's "Holes to Heaven" and the sprightly instrumentals "Moonshine" and "Cove," while longtime associate G. Love duets on the spare, rootsy "Rainbow." Love and band Special Sauce also contribute the even grittier instrumental "Hobo Blues" and laconic "Honor and Harmony." But its also a collection that ventures as far afield as The Meters' 70's-funky "Liver Splash"., Finley Quaye's spare soul, the folk-raga of Kalyanji/Anadji's "My Guru" and the spacey, haunting "Dark Water and Stars" by Natural Calamity. --Jerry McCulley

Redefining Surf Music - Jack & Friends.......2006-10-29

Jack takes beach music beyond the Beach Boys and Dick Dale and redefines the laid back sound of the surf. Jack contributes to a few track both solo efforts and with G. Love - the great, but simple Rainbow Blues. This album is great and gets better with repeat listings. Buy and enjoy.

Thicker Than Water.......2006-07-25

A collection of songs from some great musicians. I really liked the title track "Thicker Thank Water" by Todd Hannigan. [...]

Great CD!!! Love Jack's music!.......2006-07-25

Jack Johnson is the greatest new artist on the market. This cd is awesome. Matt Costa and G.Love sound good with Jack, love the Rainbow song.

Good Album.......2006-07-08

I had all of Jack Johnson's other albums before I purchased this one. I enjoy this album. It's not all Jack Johnson which gives for a nice mix of songs. I like the songs Jack Johnson does on this album as much as any of his others, not to mention the other songs on the album are pretty good too.

I would reccomend it if you are a Jack Johnson fan or like really chill music. It's a cool album.

gangster rap fanatics bump this and throw yo hood up beeotch!

5 Stars for the Price/Content/Production.......2000-05-30

First of all let me state that if you're a Hip-Hop fan, especially of West Coast rap, this CD set is a STEAL for the price. Although I don't like all the artists on the CD, I like more than half and that to me equals music WELL WORTH the price. My favorites are: Let It Reign / Gang Bang Sh** / King Of LA / Survival Of The Fittest and the list goes on and on! Great production as well. A definite keeper!
