All rights reserved.Sleep Through the Static [Digipak] * - Johnson, Jack (CD)
Album Notes Personnel: Jack Johnson (vocals, guitar); Zach Gill (vocals, keyboards); Trent Johnson (acoustic guitar); Merlo Podlewski (bass guitar); Adam Topol (drums); JP Plunier (hand claps, background vocals); Emmett Malloy, Josh Arroyo (hand claps); Danny Riley (background vocals). If James Taylor was the face of '70s soft rock, then pro-surfer-turned-multi-platinum singer-songwriter Jack Johnson is surely his millennial counterpart: an easy on the ears commercial juggernaut that the critics dismiss with undisguised, and somewhat unjustified bile. Johnson's response to his detractors is to dig in, and with SLEEP THROUGH THE STATIC, his fifth--and best--set of soulfully mellow but emphatically hooky jams, he does just that. Reportedly recorded on a solar-powered 8-track reel to reel, the songs--which, as he explains in the liner notes, concern "making babies...and raising them"--intimately reveal Johnson's newfound family bliss. He brings to the studio his touring band of drummer Adam Topol, bassist Merlo Podlewski, and keyboardist Zach Gill, who adds piano trills reminiscent of those in Nick Drake's "Pink Moon." A laidback Cali quality brims throughout cuts such as the title track and "Hope," as producer Robert Carranza keeps the sounds present but never overbearing. | Find errors in the product description?

Top Reviews  Instant ClassicReview created: 04/10/08(updated 04/10/08) by:  18 of 18 people found this review helpful. Although Jack stays classy in his latest release, there are some disappointments. I am not gonna lie, I had been forewarned of his dramatic shift in style from Curious George, but I had not expected to hear an entirely new artist. Although it is different from the usual, I readily accepted the record as a die hard fan would! Review ID: 10000000006640455 Was this review helpful?
