Somethings go together, like rapsberry jam and butter on sourdough toast. Other things don't fit so well, at least on the surface. I came across this latest offering from Jack Johnson while searching for some Ben Harper music. But it would be better to say, "I stumbled upon it;" because I did stumble spiritually by starting to think ill thoughts of Jack for working on this project in the first place. I mean seeing this soundtrack by Jack Johnson for this movie was much along the lines of running into Queen Elizabeth while at a strip joint or at the neighbourhood drug dealer's home: "...... excuse me, what are you doing here....moreover, why am I here?" Consider that even my children wouldn't want to see the movie for this soundtrack. And that shows good taste. Does anyone know whether this music is worth checking out? I like Jack Johnson's music, but I hesitate with this Curious George soundtrack. Let me know what you know in the comments.

the one song I heard was fine, neither here nor there, but similar to his other stuff. perhaps a bit influenced by producers, but I don't know.
Ben Harper's new album on the other hand, pure gold.
not every one a smash hit, but most are good, deep, thoughtful, tuneful and soulful. definetely a 4.98 out of 5
Well, Joshua likes the one song ... but he is only 10 months old. (And truthfully it might just be the monkey in the video that he likes!) :P
I've got this soundtrack on hold at the library, so I'll let you know. (maybe sometime next year?:P)
I've enjoyed everything of his so far...
He's actually an appropriate choice for a soundtrack of this type. His music is very 'light'. Easy to listen to, but not vapid.
Beach music, since he is a surfer from Hawaii.
