5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't get much better than this, August 17, 2006

By	Ecologist_1 - See all my reviews

This is one of those collections of music for which I am greatly thankful. This music can make a bad day into a good day.

In a world so dominated by contrived pop music concoctions, it's almost impossible to find any real music any more. Jack Johnson's music is the real thing, and this is one of his best. The liner note takes a jab at teens playing stratocasters, as if a teen playing a stratocaster is somehow an opposite of Johnson's music. I hope teens playing stratocasters take a listen to this, and try it out. We need a lot more of this, and hopefully a lot less of the contrived, overproduced rubbish that seems to perennially dominate the world of music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big Jack Johnson is an honest bluesman, September 24, 2004

By	Steven A Myers (Cold Country Canada) - See all my reviews

If you're looking for a super polished contemporary blues album with a million notes per second this cd's not for you. If you're into honest, down to earth blues this cd is for you! Big Jack is, in my opinion, the most underated electric bluesman playing today. Bassman-Steve www.quazimojoblues.com

“Roots Stew (feat. The Oilers)
