On and On (Jack Johnson album)

On and On is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, released in 2003. The album followed his debut, Brushfire Fairytales, and solidified Johnson's position in the contemporary folk and acoustic music scene.

The album was a commercial success, reaching number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. It spawned several popular singles, including "The Horizon Has Been Defeated," "Times Like These," and "Taylor."

On and On is characterized by its mellow, acoustic-driven sound, featuring Johnson's signature laid-back vocals and simple, yet effective, instrumentation. The album's lyrics often explore themes of environmentalism, social awareness, and personal relationships.

Musically, On and On builds upon the sound established in Brushfire Fairytales, with increased emphasis on arrangements and instrumental textures. While remaining rooted in acoustic guitar, the album incorporates elements of folk, reggae, and soft rock.

Critical reception to On and On was generally positive, with reviewers praising Johnson's songwriting and accessible sound. Some critics, however, noted a similarity to his previous work and a lack of significant musical departure. Despite this, the album's commercial success and enduring popularity cemented its place as a significant work in Johnson's discography.
