Amazon.com: For a man who gets his biggest kicks surfing the waves and strumming his guitar on a lonely beach in native Hawaii, singer-songwriter Jack Johnson has carved out quite a remarkable career on the mainland. His 2003 album, On and On, debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and subsequently went platinum on the back of hit single "The Horizon Has Been Defeated." The follow-up, meanwhile, seems destined to shine even brighter. The drifting chords and soft voice are still in place, only now Johnson's instinct for melody has sharpened alongside his ability to self-edit. These small concessions make third album, In Between Dreams, his most conspicuous, particularly on tracks like the three-minute relationship drama, "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing," and "Breakdown," a song he originally recorded for Handsome Boy Modeling School's White People album remade here to reveal its full stripped-down loveliness. Imagine all the coconuts it will buy. -- Aidin Vaziri
Jack Johnson I love Jack Johnson and this CD was no different than the rest of his, PERFECT! I can listen to Jack Johnson no matter what mood I am in and his songs fit in just right. What an amazing artist. This CD is my favorite of his.
every cut is a hit It's unusual to find an album with every song a hit. I like Jack Johnson's soft voice and his words tell a story that strikes a chord. Of all his albums this one is the one I play over and over. It is on its way to becoming a real Classic.

Jimmy Buffet Regurgitated I'm forced to listen to this at work and actually feel physical pain. It's often described as mellow (maybe in a drug-induced comma), but all I can think of is banal, trite, insipid, an American Idol early reject maybe. Anthems for beer-belching yahoos? Most of the surfers I know listen to punk. Anyway, expand your consciousness if possible and pick up Richard Thompson, Edwynn Collins and Nick Drake for starters, money better spent.
great again! Been a Jack Johnson fan for a few years now, his stuff is great. Makes you want to kick back on the beach with a chair, an umbrella, and possibly an adult beverage and let the worries of the world slip away!
The Best Jack Johnson Record I own all of Jack's cd's and I have to say this one is my favorite out of all of them including "Sleep Through The Static". I don't know what it is but I keep coming back to this record. I can't get these collection of songs out of my head. What do you think? I know there are some others that feel the same.
