Our Take

Oh, dear reader, hold onto your tea and crumpets, because the JOHN BUTLER TRIO is back with a bang on their album "Grand National." This Aussie trio brings a delightful dose of folk, blues, and roots to the table, serving up a musical cocktail that's sure to leave you feeling chuffed.

From the opening track, "Better Than," to the closing notes of "Livin' in the City," JOHN BUTLER TRIO delivers a masterclass in heartfelt songwriting and toe-tapping rhythms. Butler's intricate guitar work is on full display, weaving through each track with the precision of a Yorkshireman on a Sunday stroll.

But it's not just Butler's guitar skills that steal the show. Bassist Byron Luiters and drummer Nicky Bomba bring their A-game, providing a solid foundation for Butler's soulful vocals to soar above. Tracks like "Daniella" and "Funky Tonight" showcase the trio's knack for crafting catchy hooks that stick with you long after the album has finished.

"Grand National" is a triumph of Aussie music, blending elements of roots, rock, and reggae into a delightful sonic brew. So put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a nice cuppa, and let the JOHN BUTLER TRIO take you on a musical journey that's as British as a cup of Earl Grey. Cheers, mate!

Formed in Fremantle, Western Australia in 1998, the trio quickly made a name for themselves on the Aussie music scene with their distinctive blend of folk, blues, and roots rock. Butler's virtuosic guitar playing is a sight to behold, with his fingerpicking and slide techniques drawing comparisons to legends like Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. But it's not all about the technical wizardry - the trio's songs are infused with a deep sense of humanity and social consciousness, tackling everything from environmental issues to personal struggles with grace and insight. The trio's live shows are legendary affairs, with Butler's magnetic stage presence and the band's tight musicianship winning them fans the world over. Whether they're playing to intimate crowds in small clubs or headlining major festivals, the John Butler Trio never fail to deliver a rollicking good time. Their latest album, "Home", showcases the trio at the peak of their powers, with tracks like "Wade In The Water" and "Miss Your Love" demonstrating their ability to craft catchy, emotionally resonant tunes that stick in your head long after the music stops. If you're looking for music that's both thought-provoking and toe-tapping, look no further than the John Butler Trio - they're a force to be reckoned with in the world of contemporary music.
