Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Customer Reviews

solid j.j. soundtrack
After loving Jack Johnsons 'Brushfire Fairytales' and 'On and On', I was keen to explore his work further by buying this- the soundtrack to Johnson's film of the same name. While it's a pretty solid CD with some decent Jack tracks, it doesn't compare with either of his studio albums. It's still better than the majority of soundtracks around, but I'd recommend it for the JJ hardcore only. Perhaps one of his studio albums would be a better place to start your collection?!
Anyway- still a relaxing collection of tunes worth a listen and with worthy G Love offerings to complement more of the same from Jack Johnson.

chill out surf album
great album, set me off on to other artists. all just chilled jazzy grooves basically, its similar to the soundtrack for jacks' film "september sessions". i'd say get it if you enjoy laid back easy listening stuff by Jack, G. love or reggae inspired stuff like finley quay.

Not as good as Jacks other stuff
It has been said in most of the other reviews but im gonna get my say too!

Stick with 'bushfire fairytales', 'inbetween dreams' and 'on and on'. They are all great. Unfortunately Jack was way ahead of the other artists on this album.
