Performer: The John Butler Trio
Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: Fremantle-based vocalist/guitarist John Butler is Australia's answer to jam-oriented singer-songwriters such as Dave Matthews and Ben Harper. Butler leads his tight ensemble through an impressive set of folk-tinged rock on 2007's GRAND NATIONAL. Featuring bold, organic production by Mario Caldato, Jr. (the Beastie Boys, Beck), the album showcases the rhythmic mastery of bassist Shannon Birchall and drummer Michael Barker, while fully spotlighting Butler's amiable vocals and deft work on acoustic and electric guitars and other stringed instruments. Highlights of the immediately engaging record include the exuberant "Better Than" and the fast-paced "Funky Tonight." Those looking for another earnest and emotive jam-band hero will find him here.
Born in California but raised in Australia, guitarist John Butler debuted with his self-titled album in 1998. Fostering a laid-back style incorporating jazz, folk, and world music influences into his mellow singer-songwriter pop, Butler and his rhythm section made a belated American debut with 2001's THREE. The live set LIVING 2002-2003 cemented his popularity on the jam band and contemporary singer-songwriter circuits, as did studio albums like 2004's SUNRISE OVER SEA and 2007's GRAND NATIONAL.
