Album: Brushfire Fairytales
Artist: Jack Johnson
Release Date: 2/6/2001
Genre: Rock/Pop
{$Jack Johnson}, the multi-talented American guy who likes to surf and play music, makes an honest impression on his debut album, {^Brushfire Fairytales}. He's not focused on any genre in particular, but stays close to acoustic simplicities. {$Ben Harper}'s producer, {$J.P. Plunier}, lends a hand and perfects {$Johnson}'s basic songwriting into a charming and inviting soundscape of songs most personal to {$Johnson}. It's poetically abrasive, especially on tracks like {&"Sexy Plexi"} and {$"Fortunate Fool."} He's a bit of a lovesucker, but {^Brushfire Fairytales} isn't necessarily constructed to be on that target. {$Jack Johnson} is a regular guy and his most natural feelings are indeed candid. {&"Inaudible Melodies"} is a bluesy mix of lazy harmonies and acoustical twitching, whereas {&"Flake"} is an easy flow of American {\trad rock}, quite similar to {$Dave Matthews}, but echoing steel drums and {$Harper}'s blistering lap steel guitar make for an outstanding {\rock & roll} romp. {$Johnson}'s voice, which is hauntingly like {$Wes Cunningham}, makes {^Brushfire Fairytales} a decent record. He's not noisy or gregarious. He's content with his new creative finding. He might chase waves in his other life, but his songwriting ways do make for something quite charming. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
