 “Jack Johnson擅长创作清新而自然的音乐,简单的空心吉他搭配他温煦柔和的嗓音,让人感觉轻松而舒适,感觉像他的家乡夏威夷的阳光和沙滩一样……”权威音乐网站AMG这样推崇他的音乐风格。往返夏威夷与洛杉矶两地,Jack Johnson于2005年录制完成最新专辑《In Between Dreams》,有着大海般的歌声加上纯熟的吉他弹奏,创作出一首接一首轻松惬意、混融民谣、蓝调、雷鬼和Bossa Nova的清新作品。简单却完美的专辑创作,在没有商业广告的加持下,《In Between Dreams》却在美国发行首周,以23万张的惊人销售空降全美告示牌专辑榜第2名,在乐评、乐迷、以及电台DJ的热情支持下,《In Between Dreams》在不到2个月的发行后在全球默默卖出200万张。Radiohead的主唱曾对Jack Johnson说:“你真是天生的人型节奏组(human drum set),嘴巴就像钹,打开了就有切分音”;美国权威杂志评论杰克的歌词创作:是“21世纪的Bob Dylan”。Jack Johnson特殊的魅力,让世界上任何浪高于4英尺的地方,就有冲浪客聚集着聆听他的专辑;他的音乐会出现在伦敦顶级的时尚bar里,也会出现在曼谷的盗版摊上。但对杰克来说,他只是个冲浪家、喜欢电影、跟会唱歌的人,他不叫魔术Johnson,他是Jack Johnson。 (网络整理)

歌词:
There's traffic in the sky
and it doesn't seem to be getting much better
There's kids playing games on the pavement
Drawing waves on the pavement
mm hm
Shadows of the planes on the pavement
mm hm
It's enough to make me cry
But that don't seem like it could make it feel better
Maybe it's a dream and if I scream
it will burst at the seams and
this whole place will fall into pieces
and then they'd say...

Well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
na na na
if you keep adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well
mm hm

Puzzle pieces in the ground
but no one ever seems to be digging
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens
with their eyes on the heavens
mm hm
the shadows on the way to the heavens
mm hm
It's enough to make me cry
but that don't seem like it would make it feel better
The answers could be found
we could learn from digging down
but no one ever seems to be digging
instead they'll say...

Well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
na na na
if you keep adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well
mm hmmm

Words of wisdom all around
but no one ever seems to listen
They talk about their plans on the paper
Building up from the pavement
mm hm
there're shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
mm hm
It's enough to make me sigh
but that don't seem like it would make it feel better
The words are all around
but the words are only sounds
and no one ever seems to listen
Instead they'll say...

Well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's really not so hard to tell
na na na
If you keep adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well
lost in the well
mm mm mm
