Friend and frequent tourmate Jack Johnson is no more complicated; both artists focus primarily on acoustic-guitar-backed songs and a casual listener might hear the two as one in the same. But while Johnson’s music reflects the breezier, non-confrontational side of his upbringing - songs about love and surfing, good weather and good friends - Jennings has proven consistently to be a stronger, more introspective songwriter. On his fifth album and major label debut, he doesn’t stray from what got him this far, and the results are numerous. Jennings’s source of power is undoubtedly his voice. At times it is easy and comforting, as on “Be Here Now,” “Gentlest Hammer” and “If You Ain’t Got Love.” And when Jennings wants to open it up, he does, as on “Some Say I’m Not.” It’s not quite a departure - “Godless” (off his 1998 self-titled, self-produced debut for Architect Records) featured a similar tone of anger and insistency that was more punk than finger-plucked. But Jennings infuses these direct tales such as “Some Say I’m Not” and “Jesus Are You Real” with a gospel-choir tenacity that feels like a natural extension of his vocal range. It never seems forced, and it allows the subtle emotions of his songs to resonate. “Got so lost that I went to church/ Sorry, God, but you made it worse,” he sings on “If You Need a Reason.” This is a real man writing honest lyrics; there’s nothing hidden, nothing concealed or obtuse.” - PREFIX MAGAZINE For up-to-the-minute AAA news...
