	Sleep Through The Static : Jack Johnson : Review : Rolling Stone
		Johnson is now a thirty-two-year-old father of two, and his new songs express the contemporary fears and realities that hit home even in his idyllic Hawaiian paradise.
		Certainly, many of Jack’s lines are metaphorical, and a bit less accessible than one might like, but as a poet, the displacement and apparent ambiguity adds a significant level of depth and transcendence as the words bring the listener deeper into a subjective understanding and create a deeper meaning through the meditative grooves.
		Jack Johnson's music is a refreshing escape from the hip hop dribble that defines this generation.

	Waterloo Records - Jack Johnson (00's) : In Between Dreams [Digipak] *
		A former professional surfer and self-proclaimed beach bum, Jack Johnson is an unlikely candidate for rock-star status.
		The formula on IN BETWEEN DREAMS doesn't vary much from Johnson's previous albums, but is no less engaging--delicately strummed acoustic guitar, round bass lines, and gently funky drum patterns form a comforting bed for the Hawaii native's effortlessly soulful R&B-meets-folk vocals.
		Perhaps the track that most accurately encapsulates Johnson's unique less-is-more approach, however, is "Belle," a jazzy ditty that clocks in at less than two minutes and lets a swooning accordion tell the bulk of the story.
