Is anyone familiar with Jack Johnson, the musician?

[babylonsister]

I was introduced to him in Bali and he's supposedly real big in Australia. He's an American but for some reason, hasn't hit it big over here.
Anyone?
And P.S., I just found some CDs that I bought over there of him, and I really like him. Very mellow, nice music.

1. A friend of mine is obsessed.

Not my cup of tea though.

2. At least someone has heard of him. I know, he's very mellow

and not for everyone (I almost compared him to John Mayer which wouldn't be a stretch).

6. Yep, my daughter loves him and after listening to him every

day on the way to school for 2 months, so do I.:-)

I like John Mayer too (just not his lyrics so much).

8. He gets airplay in Atlanta.

I like his "In Between Dreams" CD. Apparently he lives in Hawaii, surfs & makes music. (That should have been me!)

11. A few years back

A former intern in our office introduced me to his music. It sounds nice coming up on an iTunes shuffle.

12. He's had a couple of hits here...

All of his music is mellow. I think growing up in Hawaii has effected his musical stylings. There are some very catchy tunes.

That is Sitting, Waiting, Wishing, and it's a freaking awesome song, and the video is fun. It's all done in reverse, but his singing is all correct. He's a talented SOB.

13. Drives me to a homicidal rage.

Sorry, but everything he does sounds exactly alike. Godawful boring. Same for his buddy Frankonreiter. :puke:
