It has been leaked and damn, I must say it's pretty good. For those of you who like it, check it out, out March 1st.

Dutin

Definately gonna have to check this one out, Jack is one of my favs! Comes out on my Bday as well!

SlingshotBandit

I'm not only going to check it out, I'm going to buy it... first day.

Thanks for the heads up.

WestEndRiot

yeah me too. i downloaded the disc this afternoon and i've already listened to it 3 or 4 times. i know where roughly eleven of my dollars are going on march 1.

eisenreich

Listening to it now, great stuff, will definitely be picking this up on the 1st. I'm surprised he's been able to fill another album with quality songs, my respect for him as an artists has definitely gone up. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here

AndyCapps

Same here.

WestEndRiot

this really is a great disc and it gets better and better each time you listen.

DJLinus

I am really looking forward to this (been avoiding the leaked tracks). The snow has come back to my little area of the world, so what better time for a new Jack Johnson release?

If you pre-order it directly from him here, the CD comes with a DVD featuring "the making of 'Sitting, Waiting, Wishing' music video and other video clips" (limited quantities, though - they may be out). Anyone know if this DVD will be packaged with the regular retail version?

SlingshotBandit

where were you able to download it?

WestEndRiot

forum rules don't allow me to say where. but if you send me a PM i could maybe help you out.

SlingshotBandit

There's a PM feature, but I'm not able to use it for some reason. So, I tried dropping you an email, but you've prohibited any incoming emails.

Could you possibly email me at [email protected] to let me know?

Thanks, btw.

B.A.

I did not know about this - thanks for the info.

Can't wait. He's one of my fav's. Check out this for some GREAT live music:

Here's the best show:

Great quality and he talks about the songs.

I even picked up a used copy of Brushfire Fairytales and sent it to a friend. He loved it!!

DJLinus

He's got a bunch of shows on the Archive. One of these days I'll get them all.

The new album will be $9.99 at Best Buy, Target, and Circuit City this week. Best Buy is offering an exclusive download of a live version of "Fall Line" with purchase.

eisenreich

Thanks for the site Fletch, I had never known that archive.org kept that many concert bootlegs

C_Fletch

If you like Jack try out Glen Phillips, Mason Jennings, & early Jason Mraz. I'm also a huge fan of Big Head Todd & The Monsters - there are some great concerts. There are soooo many concerts I have yet to download.

SlingshotBandit

I would agree with Mason Jennings, although their voices are drastically different. When they play together on stage and sing together/harmonize, their voices blend together nicely.

Not so sure I'd agree with the others, but they do have an acoustic-based sound.

I would throw G. Love into the mix, though. G. Love can be all over the place with his sound, and can definitely be more funky and upbeat. But stripped down G. Love may be of interest to some Jack Johnson fans. "Rodeo Clowns", incidentally, was co-written by Jack and G. Love.

DJLinus

Well, I picked it up this morning and have listened to it twice, although not actively. I like it a lot, but I prefer the Handsome Boy Modeling School version of "Breakdown" (it was interesting to hear him outside of his regular sound).

Been a G. Love fan ever since his first (major label) album and that's how I was exposed to Jack Johnson. "Rodeo Clowns" first appeared on G. Love's Philadelphonic album. He's one of my favorites.

eisenreich

Definitely check out Donovan Frankenreiter, his style is very similar to Johnson's, sounds like his protege. Laid back guitar and smooth melodies remind me of "On and On" and "In Between Dreams." Johnson actually accompanies him on the second track of his self-title album.

DJLinus

And he produced the whole disc. Great stuff!

lwhy?

How does this album compare to the previous two? I am really wanting to pick this up.

dick_grayson

for the longest time I thought Jack Johnson and John Mayer were the same person. not a big fan of either, unfortunately.

cowboy

Check out the new video. Its pretty cool.

PJsig08

Better than the second, up there with the first which was a classic IMO. Pick it up for $9.99, so worth it, will put you in a good mood, lovin' it.

DJLinus

I agree. His first is indeed a classic and hard to top. I thought On and On was just good. The new one ranks comfortably in between.

I love the "welcome to my website" song that plays when you first go to his site.
