I like them all, you can't go wrong. They all have a different feel. His most recent, In Between Dreams, is very good.

I love all of them.. Brushfire fairytales is a great album... Has bubbletoes on it, which is one of my favorite Jack Johnson songs! On & On, is also a great album. I've been listening the newest one, In Between Dreams, to death... I love banana pancakes! Such a great tune... Buy them all! Such great music!!

Go to jackjohnsonmusic.com general disscusion site and look for links to free live downloads and see what you like. His albums are
Brushfire Fairytales, On and On, and In Between Dreams. All his JB covers are live - PLAF, as well as lots of other good covers - Bad Fish - Remember etc. I too like them all. Wish I could have been in Chi. last night. DRR

Get them all !!!!!!!!!!

I can't pick a fave!!

I would suggest "On and On". It has "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" on it, which JB plays in concert these days. Really good lyrics on the entire album.

Most people are picking up "In Between Dreams" because it is the more current album. It is fantastic as well. I challenge anyone not to like the song "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing." Check out the video, which is pretty entertaining - http://www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/uploads/videos/sww.htm

You can tell he was a surfer from the video.

The Moonshine Festival 10/9/04 is a very good show

You need all 3

You do need all three, but go for Brushfire Fairytales first just for the sake of chilling out to F-stop Blues.

Jimmy mentioned that Jack Johnson is playing in Boca Raton in Sept. Jimmy said 7th but it is the 6th and that there might be a repeat performance of Jimmy with Jack on A Pirate Looks at Forty.

To me, he's like a cross between John Mayer and Dave Matthews. Good lyrics, smooth beat, and just all around good stuff.
