Anybody hear of Jack Johnson?

Dammit Z...now I am really put off. I went to best Buy last night just to get this cd and they didn't have it. They had 10000 copies of Brushfire Fairey Tales; I hate living in the ass end of the universe. Now I have to buy it online and wait for it to get here:(

Glad to hear it's worth waiting for though. And to keep my trip from being completely in vain, I bought Floyd's DSOTM hybrid disc. Now I just need a SACD player;)

Hey, I just heard the cut "On and On" on my local FM station KFOG. They have a nightly play of a "new" song they call the "Buzz Cut", meaning what all the buzz is about. Very Tasty, indeed.

Just bought his new release at best buy for $9. I really like it. Good mellow music. Sound is excellent.

Love this guy's music. I can't find a bad song on either of his 2 recordings. I can listen to these over and over again without getting sick of them. To the issues of good/bad recording, I find that some aspects are very good and some are not so good. I second the thoughts on the amazing cymbol crashes and add to that some of the snare and rim taps have a nice touch of echo and spatial resolution. Guitars are recorded very well and the bass notes are deep and tight. The main complaint I have is that vocals are little too forward. I have been tuning my rig to the new CD with different tweaks and cable swapping, but it still sounds as if the mic has too much gain and/or he is swallowing it while he sings and there is still a bit of exaggeration on sibiliants that I do not get on any other CD's.

He has 2 film sound tracks. One is the Summer Sessions. The other is Thicker than Water. Both have nice variety and are well recorded.
