    Every album this guy makes is a wonder of laid-back rhythmic strumming and brilliant lyrics- and they just keep getting better and better.

    Great album. JJ returns to his roots in a good way. Reminds me of his first album more so than his last one.

    Absolutely a melodic trip worth taking, To the Sea brings out the beauty of Jack that fans love to indulge in! The feel is a bit more upbeat, with some electric guitar! Who would've thought they had electric on Jack's little island of paradise! Awesome! Love it! Love it! Love it!

    That soft Hawaiian acoustic rock that Jack is famous for? Well... it's back.

    A natural progression from 2008 release "Sleep Through the Static," the new set features more electric guitars and a brighter, full-band sound while still bringing plenty of singalong acoustic romanticism and breezy melodies.

    "You And Your Heart" tries to kick out the jams, but in the most polite fashion imaginable. He's at his best on more familiar ground of the mid-tempo chug "Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology." [Aug 2010, p.84]

    Here's another set of strummy beachside ballads from the most successful surf bum in history.
