Product Description
From Amazon.com
Virginia exile Jason Mraz grew up listening to Dave Matthews and Agents of Good Roots, local heroes whose frat-friendly influences are much in evidence on his major-label debut. Producer John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer) augments Mraz's SoCal cohorts with Agents' rhythm section, dramatically expanding and polishing songs like "Curbside Prophet" and "You and I Both," which previously appeared in looser, less developed versions on Mraz's self-released live recordings. But fans from the singer-songwriter's coffeehouse years need not despair. Mraz's witty lyrics and easygoing folk-blues stylings (think Jack Johnson on Prozac) are still very much in evidence. He's also in fine voice and, on two standout tracks--"Who Needs Shelter" and "Absolutely Zero"--rivals Neil Finn in his ability to invoke the spirit of Paul McCartney. Waiting for My Rocket to Come showcases an artist who, while still finding his own direction, is clearly off to a great start. --Bill Forman
Album Description
His debut album is packed with witty, wordy, smart, funky & astonishingly catchy pop songs that do right by the best singer-songwriter traditions of Elektra. 2002.

Listen to it again
May 25 2003
Format:Audio CD
At first when i bought this CD, i listened and decided i didnt like many of the songs. But when i went back through and listened again, they all have amazing lyrics and melodies that are origanal and a little bit quirky. If you liked John Mayer, which i loved, you will like this album. My favorites include "Tonight, Not Again" , "Too Much Food" , On Love, In Sadness" , "Who Needs Shelter" .... pretty much the whole album! Give this new comer a try- you will like what you hear!
Start spreading the Mraz!

Whatup Music Lovers,
This is the best new album and artist to hit the music scene in a while! Do you recall the upraise of artists like Jack Johnson and John Mayer these past couple years - well, in a matter of months JASON MRAZ is going to be on that list for sure. I personally like Jason's sound more than both John Mayer and Jack Johnson - and I've been a huge fan of both since day one. His music is just PURE BEAUTY, with an UNBELIEVABLE VOICE, a FUNNY and CONFIDENT stage presence, a CHARMING personality and guitar licks that will sooth any soul, Jason is a musician to love. I saw him open for Dave Matthews at the Gorge and, despite how amazing Waiting for My Rocket to Come is, his studio album will never do justice to his live performances. This album is a must have, and an even greater must is to see Jason live when he's anywhere near your hometown. I think in light of Tom Petty's new album, The Last DJ, he would join me in saying, "Finally, a talented musician who loves music a little bit more than money."
I think I'm in love...

What can I say...after I saw Jason Mraz in concert, that was it - the moment I knew I had seen an amazing artist and I was in love. I really enjoy his music and can't wait to see him again. If you enjoy soulful music of one man and his guitar, you will enjoy Jason Mraz.

I had this album for over a year and this definitely had become my default music when I go to sleep and I ended up singing along instead. Read more

I should have just burned the money
Before purchasing this cd I read alot of reviews talking about how Jason Mraz was a combination of Dave Matthews and others. He is not. He's not even close. Read more

A new songwriting wunderkind
It's funny -- I listen to Jason Mraz on my ITunes a lot. And it shocks me to see the "Play Count" for most of his songs heading into the 30s... 40s...50s... Read more
