Anybody hear of Jack Johnson?

I bought this cd and really like it. Real upbeat, toe tappin music. Anybody else familiar with him. Song #6 is a good system demo tune.

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.
