Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams

At this time Johnson met fellow surfer Garrett Dutton (aka G. Love) who recorded Johnson's "Rodeo Clowns" for the G. Love & Special Sauce disc Philadelphonic also released in 1999. The recording quickly gained radio airplay and Johnson's reputation as a musician was building beyond the surf community. Despite offers to sign a record deal, Johnson chose to escape to the South Pacific to film his second surf film, The September Sessions. By the time Thicker Than Water was named Surfer magazine's Film of the Year and its follow-up The September Sessions nabbed the Adobe Highlight Award at the ESPN Film Festival, Johnson's bootleg tape fell into the hands of musician Ben Harper and his manager/producer J.P. Plunier who helped Johnson to make a record.
