Jack Johnson
From Here to Now to You
Album · Rock · 2013
From Here to Now to You finds inspiration in everything from the ordinary (“Washing Dishes”) to the ephemeral (“You Remind Me of You”). Now and again, Johnson’s band digs in with a buoyant, self-assured, slightly funky backbeat (“Shot Reverse Shot,” “Radiate”) but the songwriter’s most affecting moments are in delicately constructed ballads with a twilit feel, like “Never Fade” and the album’s closer, “Home.”
