Das Album ist zwar schon seit ende Februar draussen, aber ich dachte mir, man sollte bei dem ruhig mal das Cover gesehen haben! Ich weiss ja nicht wie's euch geht, aber als ich es zum ersten mal gesehen habe, wusste ich instinktiv, dass die nächste Stunde einfach wunderbar gechillt und warmherzig sein wird...
Und das Cover hält was es verspricht! Das Album klingt etwa so entspannnt, wie die Red Hot Chilli Peppers vielleicht gerne sein würden. Ok, als Hawaiianer und Ex-Surfmeister muss Jack Johnson das ja im Blut haben. Die Musik kommt zwar im unplugged feeling und Akustik Gitarren lastig rüber, was aber nicht heisst, dass man dazu nicht tanzen könnte. In "Staple It Together" shuffeln die Beats und der Bass, dass es nur so kracht. Überwiegend sind's natürlich schon ruhige Lieder wie "No Other Way", die sich quasi immer irgendwie um Liebe drehen. Das schöne ist dabei, dass die Texte nie sehr direkt und klar sind - man kann sie oft total unterschiedlich auslegen.
Bei diesen Temperaturen passt das Album einfach... Wenn man z.B. im Schatten liegt und sich eigentlich nichts sehnlicher als eine riesen Welle zur abkühlung wünscht...
Hört ruhig mal rein und berichtet mir. Vielleicht seit ihr ja genauso überrascht wie ich, dass Singer/Songwriter Gitarren Musik richtig Laune machen kann.
Ich werde hier jetzt öfter Musik vorstellen. Dann kriegt ihr weniger hyper-euphorische ICQ messages, wenn ich mal wieder was ausgegraben hab... ;-) Aber keine Sorge, zu Musik-zentirsch wird das Blog kaum werden - ich muss ja erstmal die Alben haben (und ned bloss files), um sie fotografieren zu könnnen. :)

John Arthur Johnson (1878 – 1946), better known as Jack Johnson and nicknamed the “Galveston Giant”, was arguably the best heavyweight boxer of his generation. He was the first black Heavyweight Champion of the World (1908-1915), a feat which, for its time, was tremendously controversial.
In a documentary about his life, Ken Burns said: “For more than thirteen years, Jack Johnson was the most famous, and the most notorious African-American on Earth.”

A balmy night with lots of Mosquitos in a medieval Castle in Italy seems a long way from the sea for surfie Jack Johnson. But as Jack said 'my little 2 year old daughter, who travels with us, wakes up every morning and asks are we home, to which the answer is as long as we're together we're home'.
It was standing room only, no seats, which we didn't expect. So we managed to get these shots from the crowd...

Jack came out and met all of us that volunteered at the show. Then him and Zach played a song for us.
