Jack Johnson is truly a poet. With his sing songy lyrics and hawaiin backdrop guitar, he is one of my favorits. I think this is one of his best albums, one of the most heart felt.
Jack Johnson's style can soothe your soul or excite your spirit. "In Between Dreams" is among the top 5 CD's I own. Great purchase and inexpensive.
I'm not sure if I knew who Jack Johnson was when I checked this album out of my local library. This is a great album of easy to listen to, laid back, "modern folk" music. If you like the samples, buy the album & enjoy it. When I turned my girlfriend on to it, it became one of her favorites as well. It has become one of our favorites even though my wife's favorite style of music is Hard Rock/Metal (AC/DC - Metallica) and mine is Blues/Early Rock & Roll/Old R&B (Motown, Stax, Chess). I've since gone out and bought most of his recordings but this one has kept it's "favorite" status. It quickly became one of my favorite albums. I don't want to call it "Easy Listening" or "Adult Contemporary" due to the connotations associated with those labels (although radio executives would probably use both titles).
After my girlfriend became my wife, we used "Better Together" as our exit music after the preacher pronounced us man & wife. We then let the rest of the album play while we mingled with our guests. Note: How good is this album. Go Jack.
I'm sure I'll have them all by the end of the year. In my opinion, if you don't think this deserves a 5 star review, this is not your genre of music. I am a new fan of Jack Johnson and I'm already browsing his catalog to find my next cd. Keep them coming Mr. Johnson.
I really like his work and really love this album. It brings me up if I've had a rough day and just perfect for mellowing out. Hits you right in the heart.
