Still listening the first time through.
It's pretty mellow, but I am having to listen at low volume here at work. :?

BestBuy has it for $9.99 today  :thumb:

Recorded all analog in a solar powered studio  8)

I also ordered the vinyl direct from the Brushfire website - hoping it'll get here by the weekend.

Thanks Brad.

I am a big Jack Johnson fan.  I think his records/cd always have pretty decent recording quality.  More importantly the music is always very good IMO.

I thought I read somewhere that he rocks out more on this new album.  I could be thinking of someone else.  I hope to find out very soon.

I hope I can get the cd today or later this week.  All analog & solar powered sounds awesome!   :thumb:

He is using an electric guitar a lot on this CD.
Some good tones!

I'll get to listen fully tonight....can't wait


OT:  The song "Banana Pancakes" is a favorite for my wife and me.  Her name is Juanita.  While on our honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta,
we had breakfast one morning at a little cafe.  Their menu name for banana pancakes was "Juanita Banana"

Thanks for the info.  I'll be sure to get it. 
Banana Pankackes is a favorite of the wife and me as well.  We too honeymooned in Puerto Vallarta (1997).  In fact we had breakfast and ate a banana AND her name, Jackie, starts with a J.   :icon_lol:

I've had a few times through the CD now.
The recording and sound are excellent.  Very dynamic.
Listening at good volume at home makes a huge difference over playing through my Tivoli at work.

Still trying to get into the music.  A few songs click, but the rest blend together somewhat.
Since he has two kids now, it comes across as him worried about the f*cked up world he has brought them into.

Track 13 - Monsoon is pretty cool

Anybody else listening to it yet?

a local DJ referred to JJ as this generations Christopher Cross... I thought it was pretty funny

Brad - I honeymooned with my wife in Hawaii.  We breakfasted several times at a place that featured banana pancakes and we love that song as well.

I'll have to pick up the new one, I'm a big fan.

The CD was on the counters at Hawaii Borders stores yesterday.

Personally, I prefer the Ono Benedict at Charley's in Paia.
