This album is one of the best that I have heard in a while. It is so nice to hear pure talent for a change uncluttered by commercial pop and rock. If you like John Mayer, you will love Christopher Jak. And if you love Christopher Jak, try Tony Lucca. You won't be disappointed with either.

Great lyrics combined with an interesting array of musicians and instruments. Reminds me of John Mayer. I would defintely recommend it!

I stumbled on to Christopher Jak completely by accident. He opened for a Vanessa Carlton concert I went to recently, and all I can say is wow. He really surprised me; originally I thought "Oh great, another Mayer wannabe," but he turned out to be so much more. His CD is excellent and he really has talent, unlike most of today's musical artists. Definitely give it a try.

This guy makes John Mayer look like a hack. And I love Mayer. Jak is my new favorite singer-songwriter,though. Sorry, John. Get this CD. You'll love it. You'll wear it out. I did.

Christopher Jak's Album "Applause of the Rain" is simply fantastic! He has a smooth melodic voice coupled with great rifts and varied tempos you find yourself listening to this album over and over. I found myself almost internalizing it if you will - finding myself humming it in the middle of different moments of the day. Think Bebo Norman meets John Mayer and that's kind of how you might describe him. Enjoy!

Jak Christopher is a star in the making. His songs are well crafted, melodic, and incredibly catchy. Treat yourself and buy this album now. You won't regret it.

Yes, there are a variety of instruments and it's very listenable, but the actual melodies and vocal style is NOT remotely surprising. The songs all follow the usual pop formula, so I don't really think the comparison to artists like Pete Yorn is justified.

Loved every minute of it, can't wait for a follow-up CD. Definately give it a listen!

I just heard Christopher Jak for the first time when he came to my college the other night, and i was happily surprised with his beautiful voice and great new songs. comeon, how cute is it to hear a guy singing about his dog? (check out "i dont know what you're thinking" (nevermind that the same song was used for a romantic scene in a movie, haha)plus, he was the nicest guy! it was a very small venue, so he gladly chatted with everyone who wanted to say meet him, and let me buy his CD for half price when i told him i only had a $5 on me. in conclusion, awesome sound, awesome guy, check him out!
