Album Notes Personnel includes: Jack Johnson (vocals, guitar, piano); Ben Harper (slide guitar); Merlo (bass); Adam Topol (drums, percussion); Tommy Jordan (steel drums). Surfer-turned-rocker Jack Johnson has composed songs for G. Love and Special Sauce, and is signed to Ben Harper's manager's record label, so it's no surprise that his debut turns out to be the kind of laid-back acoustic funk beloved of fans of both those outfits. What is surprising, however, is the unpretentious way these songs are presented--BRUSHFIRE FAIRYTALES is packed with bare-bones arrangements that highlight Johnson's catchy way with a lyric, so that when something unusual happens, such as the steel drums that dimly inhabit the background of "Flake," it's almost shocking. Johnson's songs are simultaneously well crafted and executed in an almost throwaway manner. "Fortunate Fool" is airy yet acidic--this surfer dude is no airhead--while "F-Stop Blues," on the surface a paean to the surfer lifestyle, is really a lament for wasted time that features Johnson's pleasant, lazy vocals to excellent effect. BRUSHFIRE FAIRYTALES displays the kind of insouciance born of innocence, almost as if no-one involved cared if the album sold ten copies or ten million--and of course that's the attraction.

Top Reviews  All Time FAV!! 18 of 18 people found this review helpful. I first heard Jack on a burned CD I got from a friend. It was not high quality but the chillax vibe that he sent was irresistible. From beginning to end, the CD puts me in the mood to slow down, and just enjoy living. As he proves in later CD's, the best part about Jack's tunes are the way they make you re-think life. Some of my favorite songs on this record include: "Flake" "Bubbletoes" and "The News". Add a little Jack in your life! Review ID: 10000000006640738 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
