G. Love got Jack his start.  They met surfing and G.Love put one of Jack's songs (Rodeo Clowns) on his Philadelphonic album.  Now G.Love is on Jack's label Brushfire Records.

JJ does a lot of touring with Ben Harper. No comparison in showmanship, Ben steals the show. Jack is the king of 'campfire' songs - not stadium anthems. Still he's a skilled musician.

I can't get over the fact that every song I hear from this guy I like. It's always a simple song with a simple melody but I hooks me. I just continues to prove that you don't necessarily have to have the chops of a Jeff Beck to be good. .......I guess that falls in the duh category!!

Great lyricist and story teller.

Jack appeared on G-Love's 98ish release, Philadelphonic with Rodeo Clowns. They've played and collaborated a lot.

Wow, I've never heard him -- or of him in fact -- before. Very nice!

I can never get enough Jack Johnson, and this is definitely one of my favorites.

it didn't really work. jack johnson is WAY better than g love, who came off as a silly self-promoter.

anyway, jack johnson was spellbinding. even if rp listeners aren't quite getting it yet, this guy is a wonderful, soulful talent.

there is a fine line between the same and simple - i prefer to think of Jack Johnson as simple... which i mean as a compliment.

Genius lyrics, tasty guitar, just the right amount of production. No wonder Jack Johnson is getting very popular.
