Thicker Than Wate (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

从小在夏威夷长大的杰克强森，17岁的时候他就已经是衝浪界的天才，以最年轻的年纪扬名於世界级衝浪大赛(Pipeline Masters)，正当体坛将他锁定成海滩明日之星之时，杰克强森却因为命运的安排，亲自导演了一部衝浪电影《Thicker Than Water》获得各影展大奖，日后则又因为音乐创作天份，签约於环球唱片，目前已经累积全球销量300万张。 Jack Johnson过去五年间成功的从电影人(他摄影、执导，同时也为电影创作配乐)转型为能演唱、会创作的音乐人；“Jack Johnson擅长创作气氛好、感觉对的音乐，简单的空心吉他搭配他温煦柔和的嗓音，让人感觉轻鬆而舒适…”权威音乐网站AMG这样推崇他的音乐风格。 Before Jack Johnson was a college radio favorite, he was chasing tides and waves in southern California and attending film school. Thicker Than Water was a little project drawn up by Johnson and his fellow surf mates, Chris and Dan Malloy, and the documentary went on to win the Video of the Year award in Surfer magazine in 2000. Johnson's laid-back summer jams accompanied the film, but it took until he became a touring sensation for these songs to be released to the masses. Thicker Than Water, which is scored by Johnson, collects 14 previously unavailable tracks by the likes of G. Love & Special Sauce, the Meters, Finley Quaye, and Johnson himself. Breezy acoustic guitars and sun-soaked harmonies are perfectly in place throughout Johnson's newer songs ("Moonshine," "The Cove," "Holes to Heaven"), highlighting what was soon to come to him as a solo artist. Other standout tracks from Natural Calamity, surfer/producer Todd Hannigan, and Smoke City round out the relaxing atmosphere of Thicker Than Water. It's a definite collection addition for any Jack Johnson fan and an enjoyable listen for those interested in his life as a pro surfer.
