Exclusive: Jack Johnson, Damian Marley Perform "Welcome to Jamrock"
Jack Johnson is no stranger to collaborations, but he ups even himself on his upcoming album, Jack Johnson and Friends - Best of Kokua Festival (April 17, Brushfire Records). We still have a few weeks before the album comes out, but we've got an exclusive clip of Johnson performing Damian Marley's "Welcome to Jamrock" with the man himself above.
The live album combines original Johnson tracks with covers and features a heavy hitter guest lineup including Willie Nelson, Ben Harper, Dave Matthews, Ziggy Marley, Taj Mahal and Eddie Vedder.
"'Welcome to Jamrock' always makes me happy," Johnson told Fuse. "Damian wasn’t on the bill that year, but he just happened to be in Hawaii, so he jumped up onstage with me and Paula Fuga and there was this great energy."
See for yourself above. Johnson, who will be touring the Hawaiian Islands on an upcoming acoustic trek, will donate proceeds from the live album to the Kokua Hawaii Foundation. Nice.
