Jack Johnson — In Between Dreams

Jack Johnson started out as a surfer who made surfing films and happened to play guitar on the side. Now, his music has launched a multi-million dollar mini-industry. With In Between Dreams, the assembly line continues to run on fumes, churning out homogenous pastiches like "Good People" and the infuriatingly cute "Banana Pancakes." A proprietor of sun-bathed folk, Johnson’s lyrical styling bridges the all-important musical gap between white, So-Cal rap and scat. Devoid of soul even when he tries to imbue his songs with meaning, this album is perfectly suited for those long nights by the campfire when nothing seems to matter, least of all, good music.
