{"product_id":"jack-johnson-in-between-dreams","title":"IN BETWEEN DREAMS","description":"Personnel: Jack Johnson (vocals, guitar); Merlo Podlewski (bass instrument); Adam Topol (drums, percussion).\nA former professional surfer and self-proclaimed beach bum, Jack Johnson is an unlikely candidate for rock-star status. Somehow, however, this everyman's mellow pop songs seem to tap into a commonly held desire for the simple life. The formula on IN BETWEEN DREAMS doesn't vary much from Johnson's previous albums, but is no less engaging--delicately strummed acoustic guitar, round bass lines, and gently funky drum patterns form a comforting bed for the Hawaii native's effortlessly soulful R\u0026amp;B-meets-folk vocals.\nSounding at times like a more laid-back G. Love (without the rap tendencies), Johnson celebrates the simple pleasures and asks the big questions with the childlike innocence that only someone living in a literal paradise could muster. \"Banana Pancakes\" is a Harry Nilsson-like groover that urges listeners to skip work and enjoy themselves every so often, while \"Good People\" decries the age of reality television with a poignancy reminiscent of Donovan at his free-spirited best. Perhaps the track that most accurately encapsulates Johnson's unique less-is-more approach, however, is \"Belle,\" a jazzy ditty that clocks in at less than two minutes and lets a swooning accordion tell the bulk of the story.","brand":"Jack Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582725583081,"sku":"F7ARHU-COCI-00","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/jack-johnson-in-between-dreams_51HVl.jpg?v=1758742791","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/jack-johnson-in-between-dreams","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
