The legend of the modern surf music style – Jack Johnson.

I’ve been talking about surf music the whole day, the whole week and mounth, so I had an idea, the best singer of the new surf music style deserve a special post here, on my tumblr and also on my wordpress. I am talking about Jack Johnson.

The first song that I heard by Jack Johnson was “Times Like These” – And I really think that’s the best example of this new style, it’s soft, acoustic guitar and there’s a lot of feeling on the lyrics, basically isn’t just a simple harmony between the chords and lyrics, there’s a real mean in the whole context. The first album of Jack has some epic songs, like “Flake”, “Bubble Toes”. But in the album On and On, Jack made a huge step in his career, with songs like “Taylor”, “Times Like These”, “The Horizon Has Been Defeated”, “Gone”, “Wasting Time”, “Dreams Be Dreams” and “Rodeo Clowns”.

I already said that, a lot of times Jack Johnson is my favorite singer, with no doubt but there’s more about him that I really appreciate, he’s also a surferanother awesome is he was born in Hawaii and still living there, ok, we’re talking about the paradise but with sucess a lot people forget about the essence of life, wich means love, love and love. In 2002 Jack created his own record business, the Brushfire Records, with a special function, represent some surf music singers and also support some surf movies, helping with the soundtrack and directing some of them. In the Brushfire we have artists like Zach Gill, a friend of Jack Johnson from a long time, Mason Jennings, G. Love.

Jack is starting a new tour, he’s going to perform in Byron Bay here in Australia, unfortunatelly I’m not living in Byron so I’ll lost two concerts in my old home. If you want more informations, take a look in Jack Johnson (Official Website).

Nick Drake

I’m a new fan of Nick Drake (RIP) – the acoustic folk style with express every special detail of this music style. He has something special with the acoustic guitar and lyrics, it’s just a perfect combination.. I’m really impressed and sad because it will be great for whole world watch a talented man like him, playing, singing but that’s life. I’m trying to find nice songs to post because I don’t wanna be “season fan”, I’m listening the same song, enjoying the rythym, everything. Talking Nick Drake I’m searching for covers, nice covers and I’ll post because the youtube singer squad it’s the motion of this blog, more songs, musics later – I’m really sorry about this whole week without post, it’s too much busy for me right now back at work, working for the whole company and getting ready for the xmas season, I’ll try to be more fair in the next time, mahalo.

The queen of surf music

Obviously I’m talking about her, Tristan Prettyman. Everytime when I’m listening Tristan I get impressed with her talent, she has a impressive voice and a facility to change her voice, that’s a impressive quality. She’s the queen of surf music style, with no doubts, she has great songs like: “Hello”, “November”, “War out of Peace” and that’s what I’m going to do, search for good covers of Tristan, it will be fun.

Johnny M.

Here I’m in Sydney.. waiting my lunch, after that I’ll got to Tamarama, surf a lil’, talking about music, I’m gonna talk about John Mayer, we all know he’s working in a new album but there’s something wrong with his new songs, I don’t know… I’m a good fan but the new songs man, they’re not cool as the old, the classic songs like: “Clarity”, “Why Georgia”, “Neon”, “Bigger than my body”, C’mon Johnny M, you’re a legend little mate.
