The debut for surfer-turned-rocker Jack Johnson has the laid-back acoustic funk you’d expect, but also an unpretentious presentation: Brushfire Fairytales is packed with bare-bones arrangements that highlight Johnson’s catchy way with a lyric, so that when something unusual happens, such as the steel drums that dimly inhabit the background of “Flake,” it’s almost shocking. Johnson’s songs are simultaneously well crafted and executed in an almost throwaway manner. “Fortunate Fool” is airy yet acidic, while “F-Stop Blues,” on the surface a paean to the surfer lifestyle, is really a lament for wasted time that features Johnson’s pleasant, lazy vocals to excellent effect. Brushfire Fairytales displays the kind of insouciance born of innocence, almost as if no one involved cared if the album sold ten copies or ten million, and of course that’s the attraction.
