with all this talk of jack being associated with \'chill music\', one can\'t deny that the man used to make interesting music. ive been a fan for years, seen him about 5 times at festivals and his own shows. jim, for the record, there is nothing not to trust about the guy, if anything hes one of the more genuine artists in popular music today.
his first two records were great quality music. nothing mind-blowing in comparison to top musical performers today, however his sense of rhythmic, percussive guitar playing with fun, and sometimes deep lyrics mixed to make interesting music.
that being said, one can only make so much music out of the 7-10 chords he uses, and one can only write such interesting music when you live on a beach with your family and you haven\'t a care in the world. the guy is a great guy though and i still support all the music he makes. i personally really dislike his new album and was really let down when i heard it, however because i do know how genuine of a guy he is and how good his music used to be (he\'ll still be playing a lot of it at his shows) i\'m going to bite the bullet and enjoy seeing him at bonnaroo and all points west despite the shitty young ignorant girl crowd that will be there.
i think you all should too...for the musics sake.
love always,
OMS
