Free Music Notes for Living 2001-2002Free Music Review: A yankee's perspective Hit: 5 Stars
The John Butler Trio isn't getting the recognition they deserve in the USA, despite their generous number of visits. I'm here to tell my fellow Americans that JBT proves the best things come from Australia.
I don't give out 5's easily, but this is one of my most frequently played albums. Real bands do it live, and JBT is truly a great live act. For those unfamiliar with JBT, John Butler leads the trio on an acoustic/electric guitar with an emphasis on the slide. Think Ben Harper, take away the sap, and add maddening improvisational and jamming skills. The JBT sound is upbeat, fresh, and soulful.
For those familiar with JBT, realize that the best way to hear this band is live, and if they're not coming to your town soon, this is a necessary alternative. This album even has a couple of tracks not available elsewhere (Spring, Home Is Where The Heart Is). This will not be an album you'll regret owning.
Free Music Review: Wow!!! Hit: 5 Stars
I saw this kid in concert @ Nashville and man-o-man I was absolutely blown away! I don't think I have EVER heard so much sound come from a three piece band. All three members are premier musicians and boy do they play well together. I came home that night and ordered this CD and I "promise" it is an accurate representation of what I heard that night. Now the recording is from 2001-2 and I heard them in 2007 so I'm going to go and look for more from these kids, you should do the same, but "Living 2001-2002" is a great place to start!
Free Music Review: JBT at their best Hit: 5 Stars
i have seen JBT twice live and i would go again any day they are the best live band that i've ever seen. this cd brings together tracks from their recent album three and older tracks that i love like 'sista' and 'earthbound child' etc etc. i didnt hesitate to buy this cd and i would recomend this cd to anyone. support JBT and buy this album and three its a great investment.
Free Music Review: The Trio rock on at home Hit: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic live CD- the boys go off like at their shows but this cd has the advantage of good quality recording. Cant recommend this one more, its worth it.
Free Music Review: Lisabancroft.com Hit: 5 Stars
The 2 standout songs, Betterman and Pickapart capture it all.
Let's hope that one day the JBT come to Amsterdam!
