Editorial Review: Album Description: The pigeonholes that exist have long been a bad fit for John Butler anyway. Roots band, protest band, jam band, groove band . . . these labels may or may not have applied in the past, but the John Butler Trio of 2007 has come too far and seen too much to sit in anybody else's niche. "GRAND NATIONAL" is more about love than injustice, more about ass-shaking than finger-pointing, and more about maintaining the funk than any particular hairstyle. It's an album of sharp focus and wide variety that matches and surpasses monumental expectations. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Funkier than any jam bandHonestly, the John Butler Trio has not gotten the stateside welcome that they deserve. In fact, "Sunrise Over Sea" was one of the best jam band releases to date. And it almost didn't get airplay in the United States. Thus, the John Butler Trio is back to jam again with their third album, "Grand National," which is a delightful funk/roots band masterpiece. With all the funk guitar riffs that John Butler pulls off, one can now officially call them the Red Hot Chili Peppers of the jam band scene. In fact, with the coolest banjo and electric guitar licks in the song "Gov Did Nothin'," John Butler is on fire. Even though this album is less raw than "Sunrise Over Sea," the band makes up for it by bringing in ...

Rating: - great band, great musicWhat can I say? This music is fun to listen to. Over and over, and over. Absolutely superb musicianship, not overproduced. They rock, they jam, and they get funky... so if you like to rock, jam, and get funky, this album is for you. Their sound is one of a kind. While the mainstream music seems so focused on relationship problems, depression, drugs, lust, etc, the JBT sings about the good things - peace, family, dance, and making love. With some political statements thrown in the mix. Grand National is a great experience and gets my recommendation. Rating: - a pleasure to listen...Grand National, the perfect cd for driving 100km on a sunny road, it's one of those cds that you can hear a thousand times, great songs, personally loved used to get high... absolutely would recommend. Rating: - Good groovesI heard JBT on our local progressive radio station and liked some of the grooves. I was looking for some new music and gave Grand National a whirl. It's excellent. It's easy to call them a jam band, but the mix of influences, including blusey slide guitar, funky grooves, a little celtic beat with a few rap-sytle vocals mixed in for some songs is very nice. Add some thought provoking lyrics and I love the combo. Now I'm jut deciding which JBT album to buy next. Also, after listening to the disc for about a month, I was able to catch JBT live and whoa, they were awesome! Those 3 guys put out some serious sound. If you get a chance, don't pass it up. |
