Search - John (Trio) Butler :: Three

Touted as a mix of Ben Harper, an undiscovered bent Australian folkster and the younger musical brother of Eddie Vedder, John Butler emerged at the turn-of-the-century as a nouveau troubadour with a formidable take on the blues. He and his Trio have been making albums since 1996, but 2001's Three is the one which pushed them over the edge into the world of widespread acclaim. Call it what you will (organic rock, blues-twisted folk, eclectic yet focussed), the John Butler Trio's Three is - all tags aside - nothing short of brilliant. The depth and devotion in the playing on the John Butler Trio's latest longplayer will sweep listeners off their feet. A manic hybrid of blues 'n' roots played the only way Butler knows how. . . From the heart and soul.
