On And On

Description

2003 release, the sophomore album from the acclaimed
singer, songwriter and surfer. Adam Topol played drums and percussion while
Merlo Podlewski played bass. The album was recorded at The Mango Tree studios
in Hawaii. Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. Indeed, the
Hawaiian surfing champion turned alternative pop-folk star really hasn’t
changed things one iota for his sophomore release. Fans of Brushfire
Fairytales should be delighted with the results. The groove is a mellow one–
most of the 16 tracks here are semi-acoustic–and that easy-going spirit
filters into Johnson’s lyrical philosophies. “What will be will be / And so it
goes” he sings on “Times Like These,” the opening track. Thankfully, Johnson
is never too mellow, and there’s a “Don’t worry, be happy” vibe to most of his
music. “The Horizon Has Been Defeated” even has a pseudo-reggae feel to it.
Although classified as an alternative musician, the singer-songwriter’s
compositions owe much to past hits. “Traffic in the Sky” is reminiscent of Jim
Croce’s “Operator” and Looking Glass’s one-hit-wonder, “Brandy.” On the
splendid “Taylor,” Johnson sounds an awful lot like Donovan. And “By The Way”
recalls the Lovin’ Spoonful. — Bill Holdship
