Jack Johnson’s ‘In Between Dreams’
Christina Hammett
The Advocate

Folk rocker Jack Johnson blends the sound of folk favorite Dave Matthews, pop crooner John Mayer, and his own unique vocals and instrumentals into his newest release “In Between Dreams”.


The 14 track album features slow and sweet songs like “No Other Way”, “Do You Remember”, and “Breakdown”, and more upbeat and speedy tracks like “Banana Pancakes”, “Staple it Together” and the first single released, “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing.” The CD also includes songs with samples of accordions (in the short ballad “Belle”), country music, and Latin influences to please Johnson fans of all different tastes.


“In Between Dreams” is a classic album of serenades and ballads, guaranteed to mellow just about any listener who dares lend their ears.
