Jack Johnson Tickets Jack Johnson Tailors Sixth Album

, 'To the Sea,' to Fans

Jack Johnson released his sixth album, To the Sea, on Tuesday, June 1 and the characteristically mellow musician chatted about his expectations for the record with MTV News. Johnson told MTV News that he won't even know about the response for To the Sea because he is going off the grid on a camping trip!

"Generally, I've been out and about when the records come out [but] we're about to leave for two weeks on a little camping trip, [and] that works better for me, a little bit. Get away from it and not think about it too much Whenever friends' albums come out, I go out and buy them. But when it's my own, I don't want to jinx it," Johnson revealed.

Back in April, Johnson's To the Sea scored the No. 1 spot on the iTunes albums chart based only on pre-orders so it is safe to say he can't jinx the success of his sixth album! As opposed to album sales, Johnson is more concerned with relating to his many fans.

"I guess, with all the albums, I never used to think about it, but now there's different songs that people will tell me, you know, 'This song really means a lot to me after I lost a close friend,' or, 'This song is what we danced to a at our wedding'," said Johnson before adding, "So I hope there's songs on thisas I went through certain things in my life, whether they were heavy or just something fun, and wrote a song about ithopefully, people can take those songs and they mean something and they can use it in their life."

Although fans of the folk rocker were ready for him to release the follow-up to 2008's platinum-selling Sleep Through the Static, Johnson didn't anticipate releasing an album so soon. USA Today reports that Johnson planned on taking a hiatus from writing and recording in the wake of his father's death last August after battling cancer. Johnson pays tribute to his late father on To the Sea, while the album also includes four love songs for his wife Kim and one aptly-titled track"My Little Girl"which was inspired by the couple's third child. Fans with Jack Johnson tickets from StubHub.com can hear Johnson's new songs when his tour kicks off July 9.

It wouldn't be a Jack Johnson album without an aquatic mention here or there, and the former professional surfer told USA Today, "I recently started to understand the significance of growing up surrounded by the ocean. The idea was of a father leading a son to the sea the way my father did. Until this album, I stayed away from any kind of oceanic references after being labeled this beach-boy surfer guy."

After suffering from an accident at the famed Oahu's Pipeline Masters when he was 17, Johnson earned a film degree from the University of California-Santa Barbara. He began to focus on a career in music after releasing the 2000 surf documentary Thicker Than Water with friends and professional surfers Emmett and Chris Malloy. Fellow laid-back musician G. Love took Johnson under his wing and the rest is, as they say, history.
