From the album On and On (2003)
“Rodeo Clowns” by Jack Johnson appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2003. It was first released in 2003 on the album On and On. Its best result is #97 on the Channel 104.9 Top 104.9 Songs of 2003. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #585 alternative song of 2003.
"Rodeo Clowns" had a life before On and On. Jack Johnson's song first surfaced, in a different version, as a collaboration with G. Love & Special Sauce on their 1999 album Philadelphonic, and in 2003 he cut it again for his own second album, recorded at the Mango Tree studios in Hawaii and released on Universal.
This time Johnson, who wrote it, sings lead and plays guitar, with Mario Caldato Jr. producing and splitting the engineering and mixing with Robert Carranza. The groove is loose and unhurried, more back-porch shuffle than beach-bum lullaby, and it slots neatly into a record built on easy rhythm.
