Universal. :For a man who gets his biggest kicks surfing the waves and strumming his guitar on a lonely beach in native Hawaii, singer-songwriter Jack Johnson has carved out quite a remarkable career on the mainland. His 2003 album, On and On, debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and subsequently went platinum on the back of hit single 'The Horizon Has Been Defeated.' The follow-up, meanwhile, seems ...	Buy Now	On and On (more) »rank: 285 by: Jack Johnson :Album Description:Japanese pressing limited edition price for Jack Johnson's 2003 album adds one bonus track. 17 tracks. Def Jam. :Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. Indeed, the Hawaiian surfing champion turned alternative pop-folk star really hasn't changed things one iota for his sophomore release. Fans of Brushfire Fairytales should be delighted with the results. The groove is a mellow one--most of the 16 tracks here are semi-acoustic--and that easy-going spirit filters into Johnson's lyrical philosophies. 'What will be will be / And so it goes' he sings on 'Times ...
Buy Now	Brushfire Fairytales (more) »rank: 809 by: Jack Johnson :Album Description:Features a guest appearance from Ben Harper. :Fans of Willy Porter, Ben Harper, and G. Love will all want to check out Jack Johnson's engaging folk- and blues-inflected pop. Born in Oahu, Hawaii, Johnson, a former surfer and film-school graduate, has a knack for acoustic ballads whose calm surfaces hide a subtle but strong lyrical undertow. 'It seems to me that 'maybe' pretty much always means 'no,'' sings Johnson on 'Flake,' which features crony Harper on slide guitar. Production by J.P. Plunier (who also handles Harper's recordings) is simple ...	Buy Now	Grace (more) »rank: 577 by: Jeff Buckley : :Resembling at times a soft-sung Robert Plant, Buckley was an intuitive vocalist capable of dizzying arabesques and choir-boy sweetness. He is joined here by a tight band for 10 tracks highlighting his stylistic range--Pearl Jam bluesy on 'Eternal Life,' impossibly serene on Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah,' art-school noisy on 'So Real,' Led Zep daring on 'Mojo Pin.' Unorthodox, this was the debut of '94. --Jeff Bateman
Buy Now	Pieces of You (more) »rank: 3831 by: Jewel : :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: JEWELTitle: PIECES OF YOUStreet Release Date: 02/28/1995DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP :Jewel's debut album, Pieces of You, reveals a special voice--strong and focused on both the whispery verses and the hooky choruses. The recording also exposes an unfortunate tendency to present trite, hackneyed sentiments as if they were oracular visions from a young prophet to a jaded world. For the most part, Jewel sings to her own acoustic guitar accompaniment, but she has a lot more in common with, say, the Indigo Girls or ...	Buy Now	XO (more) »rank: 3835 by: Elliott Smith :Album Description:Japanese version featuring a bonus track: 'Miss Misery'. 's Best of 1998:Elliott Smith's fourth solo album and major-label debut, XO, brings narrative detail and a wide range of emotion to an indie meld of '60s-style rock and folk-pop. Whether in the broken stateliness of 'Waltz #2 (XO),' the Sgt. Pepper tribute of 'Baby Britain,' or the explosions of 'Amity' and 'Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands,' Smith's melodic and arrangement senses give his vulnerable vocals and brilliant wordcraft the maximum effectiveness. XO is a watershed in singer/songwriter rock. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com ...
Buy Now	Tidal (more) »rank: 1297 by: Fiona Apple : :Tidal is the debut album by Fiona Apple, a New York singer-songwriter-pianist who was 18 years old at the time of its 1996 release. Apple is obviously talented--she has a dark, smoky alto and a knack for an arresting turn of phrase--but she's still several years away from realizing her potential. For every fresh lyric she writes ('Daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary of waiting to be consumed by you'), she provides two examples of embarrassingly precious schoolgirl poetry ('Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red,' ...	Buy Now	The Greatest (more) »rank: 8751 by: Cat Power :Album Description:This is not a greatest hits album, despite the title. It contains all-original songs written by Chan Marshal (professionally known as Cat Power), and features the great Memphis session musicians Teenie Hodges on guitar, Leroy Hodges on bass (Al Green, Hi Rhythm Section), drummer Steve Potts, and more. The combination of Marshall's superbly evocative and flexible voice plus some of the greatest Southern soul players, has produced a masterpiece. These songs explore themes of Southern loss, longing, and marginality. The limited first digipak pressing and regular single vinyl contain ...
Buy Now	Magnolia: Music from the Motion Picture (more) »rank: 5256 by: Aimee Mann, Supertramp, Jon Brion : :The much anticipated follow-up to Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, Magnolia features a specially orchestrated soundtrack, largely written and performed by Aimee Mann ('Til Tuesday member and sadly overlooked solo artist). Mann's voice has always been a suitable vehicle for conveying emotional turmoil and indelible sadness, and several tracks here ('Build That Wall,' 'You Do,' 'Driving Sideways') do so with the rich melodicism that informs her best work. Producer Jon Brion's sprightly horn arrangements for 'Momentum' are an unexpected (though not completely unwelcome) splash of cold water. Only Mann's cover ...
