He was born and raised in Hawai'i, he was a champion  surfer until an injury put paid to that life; and he's sold 25 million records. Two of his albums went to no. 1 on the billboard charts. He's an accomplished film-maker, and he's starred in surfing films. One critic described him like this - "Perennially posed on the edge of some salty shore, guitar in hand, the heir apparent to Jimmy Buffett's fiefdom of mixed drinks and beach breezes, a pleasant guy with tunes about the surf and your soul". That was early in Jack Johnson's career, he and the music have grown through the years. We'll talk to Jack on the other side of the opening track from his new album, Meet The Moonlight.
