I agree with Bunglehead Jack Johnson is the best of his fusion soon to be funk albums. JM’s guitar on the first side of JJ is amazing. One thing about these albums (IASW, BB JJ) that does bug me a bit is that they are totally studio creations. The amount of editing is amazing.
Compare to "Emergency" which was created in a couple of days the difference is obvious. Less of an on the edge feel.
