What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

from my son-in-law (cd)

One of those artists that's hard to place for me. Also one that's hard for me to get into. Too laid back I guess. Must be that Hawaii lifestyle, where Jack was born and raised. Had his sights set on a professional surfing career, and was quite good, but a bad surfing accident put an end to that. While attending college in California, Jack developed his passion for music. After doing a documentary film on surfing with a soundtrack of his music, he was discovered by Ben Harpers producer, who produced Jacks debut. This is his second album. The guy certainly has a devoted fan base, as his albums do very well. This one reached #3 on the U.S. charts. The Horizon Has Been Defeated was released as a single. I do like this album, but just barely. There were no tracks I love and several that I do not like at all. Maybe I just need to mellow out some way before listening to Jack. Any ideas?

not sure about this guy as ive only heard two or three tracks plus a couple more of your links, i guess i sort of put him in the same catagory as Blunt and cant really say i like him

"the horizon has been defeated", "taylor" and "times like these" were all singles here, Taylor scraped into the top 30, the others didnt really do anything but "times like these" got a lot of airplay and still does.
