Jack Johnson is the king of mellow, but even mellow can be mixed with sorrow.
Sleep Through The Static is dedicated to his late cousin, Danny Riley, and even with the personal suffering that tinges some of these songs, this is still Jack Johnson going with the flow. With his smooth groove and laid back vocals, you can almost hear the surf and the trees of his native Hawaii. Aidin Vazir at amazon.com says, "
Sleep Through The Static documents his best work to date, even better than the Curious George soundtrack. The sedate singer transforms the acoustic campfire strums of the past into sublime, soulful ruminations on his wife, kids, and the state of the world."
CD released February 5, 2008.
