JACK JOHNSON CAN'T BE BEAT!I bought this album because I liked the songs I heard from Jack on the radio. the thing is, (and this is a rarity these days), is that the radio singles are actually the worst ( if i can even say that about this album) songs on this record. By far, this and Jack's other two releases, "On and On", and "In Between Dreams", are the definitive sounds of summer. If you are choosing between his cds, I would reccommend them in this order:
1. On and On
2.Brushfire Fairytales
3. In Between Dreams
And there ya go.
-Chris-For An Old Man, It's Just Deja vuI note that there are 449 reviews on this CD and I don't have time to search them all, but has ANYONE out there noticed this artist's pale imitation of Michael Franks? Besides me, is there anyone out there old enough to remember Michael Franks? A twenty-five year old graduate student has me listening to this and one of my co-workers (who's in her early 30s) has sung this person's praises. I feel I cannot join the chorus. For those who think this is new, go back to the seventies and discover Mr. Franks. Then you will realize how clumsily Mr. Johnson has copied someone else's muse.I Gave My Love A Cherry.This weepy balladeer fits nicely between fellow Hades dwellers Ben Harper and John Meyer, and, like his ilk, has nothing to offer to anyone who possesses a brain larger than a pea.
"Brushfire Fairytales" is exactly the kind of krap you're bound to find playing at the local coffee house during those torrid poetry reading nights or Saturday nights at Borders.
It's precisely the kind of CD that's bound to get you laid, but are you really willing to sell your soul for the beav? |
