从小在夏威夷长大的杰克强森，17岁的时候他就已经是衝浪界的天才，以最年轻的年纪扬名於世界级衝浪大赛(Pipeline Masters)，正当体坛将他锁定成海滩明日之星之时，杰克强森却因为命运的安排，亲自导演了一部衝浪电影「Thicker Than Water」获得各影展大奖，日后则又因为音乐创作天份，签约於环球唱片，目前已经累积全球销量300万张。
Jack Johnson过去五年间成功的从电影人(他摄影、执导，同时也为电影创作配乐)转型为能演唱、会创作的音乐人；「Jack Johnson擅长创作气氛好、感觉对的音乐，简单的空心吉他搭配他温煦柔和的嗓音，让人感觉轻鬆而舒适…」权威音乐网站AMG这样推崇他的音乐风格。
本张专集为「Thicker Than Water」的原声大碟。
Those who know Jack Johnson only as college radio fave are in for a pleasant surprise here, as are wave-riding aficionados with a taste for eclectic, cooled-out musical vibes. The project Surfer magazine hailed as 2000's Video of the Year was originally a collaboration between surfing champ/then-USC film student Johnson and school colleagues Chris and Dan Malloy.
But Johnson also gratifyingly took the opportunity to prove that "surf music" is purely a subjective term; indeed, electric instruments are few and far between here, let alone the traditional buzzsaw licks of such genre stalwarts as Dick Dale and Gary Hoey. Instead, Johnson has stitched together an organically focused, acoustic-centered collection that would seem as welcome on a shady creek bank as a sunny, wave-lapped beach. Johnson offers up an acoustic take of his sophomore album's "Holes to Heaven" and the sprightly instrumentals "Moonshine" and "Cove," while longtime associate G.
Love duets on the spare, rootsy "Rainbow." Love and band Special Sauce also contribute the even grittier instrumental "Hobo Blues" and laconic "Honor and Harmony." But its also a collection that ventures as far afield as The Meters' 70's-funky "Liver Splash"., Finley Quaye's spare soul, the folk-raga of Kalyanji/Anadji's "My Guru" and the spacey, haunting "Dark Water and Stars" by Natural Calamity.
