{"product_id":"john-butler-trio_flesh-and-blood_2019_uni","title":"Flesh and blood","description":"Description of the productFour years have passed since the release of their last album \"April Uprising,\" with which John Butler Trio toured stages around the world... they are back today with their 6th studio album titled \"Flesh \u0026amp; Blood\": this album, which is said to be groovy, was recorded alongside bassist Shannon Binchall and drummer Michaël Barker, and will notably be discovered starting in May for their French tour...ReviewInactive since the end of the tour that followed the release of \"April Uprising\" in 2010, The John Butler Trio is back in action with the album \"Flesh \u0026amp; Blood,\" which includes a change that occurred in August 2013 with the departure of drummer Nicky Bomba, replaced a few months later by Grant Gerathy. One cannot say that this change is significant as \"Flesh \u0026amp; Blood\" features tracks where John Butler almost performs solo.The nature advocate, who loves Rastafarian colors, seems to have wanted to create a more introspective album than usual. While rock infused with reggae still has its place, it is the folk or blues-inspired songs that capture attention on \"Flesh \u0026amp; Blood.\" Thus, \"Bullet Girl\" reflects this desire to tease a stripped-down and somewhat nostalgic style. Even though the bass and drums can be heard on \"Only One,\" the tone is also very bare. Introduced by sounds of nature and a song inspired by Aboriginal music, \"Wings Are Wide\" further convinces of the validity of this new direction.It is more appropriate to speak of a more marked direction than a completely modified style, as the fat rock remains on the menu of \"Flesh \u0026amp; Blood.\" Here, the trio is indeed necessary to hit hard with the monstrous \"Blame It On Me,\" which owes as much to reggae as to The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The John Butler Trio also ventures into territories close to electro rock with \"You're Free,\" which closes out a record that is, nonetheless, somewhat split in two. \"Flesh \u0026amp; Blood\" may leave those who rightly appreciated the energy of the previous albums feeling perplexed. It can be said that it is a cautious restart after a brief period of pause and as much an album of John Butler as of the band itself.Francois Alvarez - Copyright 2017 Music Story","brand":"John Butler Trio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57640631206232,"sku":null,"price":20190102.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/john-butler-trio_flesh-and-blood_2019_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
