In Between Dreams

Did anybody buy Jack Johnson’s latest CD? What do you think?

I found the first one repetitive and hard to listen to all the way through…I assumed this one would be the same to I opted out

i like jack johnson

i was thinking about picking the new one up later

yeah I’m a fan of Jack Johnson…so what it is his new CD like?

His new CD is awesome, but not as good as his first two. All the songs are generally good, but his other CD’s both have a couple songs that really stand out as incredibly good.

I got On and On first, but Brushfire Fairytales is my favorite.

I had the distinct honor of rushing out to buy this album today. It was for my sister cause she’s absolutely in love with JJ (don’t worry, her fiancé knows). I like most of Jack’s music, but it’s not really my kind of music.

I will say that he is very good live. I attended his Kokua Festival last year and was pleasantly surprised to find he’s as good live as he is on his albums.

my foavourite new singer is Alexi Murdoch

i got an SMS from a friend of mine who’d moved to australia a couple of months back
it said
“go buy jack johnson ‘on and on’
go past the bottle store and buy two bottles of red wine
go home
enjoy”

i’m glad i did
:slight_smile:

i’ve been meaning to get the first album but just haven’t gotten around to it
so much to buy…
:frowning:

I like Jack’s new album… it’s a bit of a change up from the regular bar chords and muted strumming, although a few songs still have that same style (sitting, waiting, wishing)… I’d have to say my fave JJ songs of all time are F-Stop blues, and Gone.

Alexi Murdoch is sweet… Orange sky?

Some other good bands (if you haven’t already heard of them):

G. Love
The Beautiful Girls
Ben Harper
Xavier Rudd
John Butler Trio
Donavon Frankenreiter
Mason Jennings

Check them out!

I have to agree with pretty much all your music tastes Dylan…well I guess I’d better go give In Between Dreams a listen - I know what you mean Gild so much to buy! Thats 2 CD’s and a DVD (OWA) that I want now…too bad I bought my muni and have no money :roll_eyes:

No way man! You got a muni! Turn that frown upside down. :smiley:

yeah im not complaining…I love my muni but it would be nice to have some money left afterwards…

Finally got In Between Dreams today - and I have to agree with you Ben - the whole CD is good but there aren’t any songs that really stand out to me. But its a great album.
I got the one with a Limited Edition DVD - anybody else get this? It’s a pretty cool DVD.

I’d definitely suggest to anyone who likes jack johnson to listen to john butler trio. I’ve had john butler tunes stuck in my Since I first heard him/them a few weeks ago.

badly drawn boy and
ron sexsmith might be pleasing if u like this kinda stuff as well

Just found out four tet have a new album about to come out if your ears are that way inclined. I reccomend people checkout four tet’s remixes album. It’s a bit good.

Kit

yea so my friend just gave me in between dreams and I would have to say it is a pretty sweet album

my favorite song would have to be “do you remember”

dude screw jack and go out there and get some slayer…

Chase

Slayer? hahaha.

Another good band that is really new is “The Arcade Fire”. They are one of my favorite bands.
