So what if I kinda like Jack Johnson? He did the soundtrack for the animated Curious George movie that I’ve probably watched more than a dozen times at my daughter’s request. Those songs are really chilled-out, soothing, and have really simple and enjoyable melodies. His newest album Sleep Through The Static is basically more of the same, and that’s just fine with me. Plus Jack Johnson is somewhat of an advocate for various environmental causes and Sleep Through The Static was recorded using 100% solar energy and the liner notes were printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper. How ‘bout that.

Ah, yes the Curious George movie. I’ve watched it many times myself. It was actually much better than I thought it would be. And the music certainly helped. It was a nice change from the normally saccharine fair found in most kids movies.
I like Jack too! It helps that I discovered him early through CD Baby back in the day before anyone else had even an inkling.
Jack Johnson is a class act, he does what he does in a great way. He doesn’t preach any scene rubbish or change his ways to accommodate the media. JJ clones on the other hand need to add some originality to the mix, he does it better.
