Anyone know anythin about this guy, or can you recommend any of his albums? A chick I'm into is a big fan, so was thinking of picking up a couple of Cd's and was wondering where to start

    all three are awesome...good musician...mellow tunes. goos make out cd's.
    He is alive but feels absolutely nothing.
    So is he?
    When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him.
    By nine he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact.
    No tradebacks...
    So this is what it's like to be an adult
    If he only knew now what he knew then...

    I hate Jack Johnson...did you see the game last night?...with a few seconds left in the game he elbowed Downey right in the face...talk about a classy player

    oh if you're speaking of JJ the musician, yes he's cool ; )

    Why not just ask this chick you're into if you can listen to some of her albums to see what you like

    I like on and on.
    In between dreams is great too.
    I suggest either.

    Brushfire Fairytales...(one word), is not the same as On and On. These albums are totally different, just because someone has a certain sound doesn't mean they release the same album over and over.

    I would buy Brushfire Fairytales as well though, then On and On, then In Between Dreams (good album but his weakest of the 3 IMO)

    Or even check out his new DVD, Weekend At The Greek, to get a little taste of everything.

    sure it does, to have your own personal style and to let your style shed through on different sounding album to different sounding album is good.

    But to have a certain sound of every single album you release (AKA soft voice- mid tempo acoustic songs - coffee shop rock - repetative/redundant rhythm section) then thats just plain-out boring.

    the way an album represents itself through the artist's style is different then the way an album represents itself through the album's sound.

    Try to get Brushfire Fairytales, it is, in my opinion, his best album, plus Sexi Plexi is just awesome.
