I hadn't given this band much time, so I just downloaded a bunch of their stuff. 'What You Want' is one of the most haunting, beautiful, and amazing songs I've ever heard. I can't stop listening to it, and it gets better every time I hear it. I'm going to pick up one of their albums sometime this week...any suggestions?

    I have always really loved them. Some of their music was in The Good Girl with Jennifer Aniston. I have never seen them live but am looking forward to sometime.

    :) You should see them live drew! It's as good a buzz as PJ. :) The atmosphere is so full of love and positive vibes. And the music is amazing. I've got all their albums The most recent one Grand National is excellent, but then all their albums are. My favorite is still Three. :)
    NOPE!!!

    I couldn't agree more here. I love these guys!! I've seen them 6 times.

    And I've met them a few times too. They are extremely nice guys too. My Aunt from Australia was with us when we went to an in store in Denver a few years back ( they were playing Red Rocks with DMB that night). Well, her husband had recently passed suddenly & JBT was his absolute favorite band. She told John about everything & he was holding back tears. He just kept hugging her. A class act.
    My lips are shaking.......

    They are a really good band.

    Also, Ian Ball from Gomez is going to be opening a handful of their upcoming tour dates. Pretty cool news for sure!
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    I walk around singing "Bat bah bada bah, badda dah dah".......lol.

    haha well yes i do realise that why else would I have said it was an Aussie night out! der.

    it was pretty shit cos johnB was telling to be quiet so he could sing "spring" which he was dedicating to a couple :(
    but they never did he went ahead and sang it , and STILL they talked and shouted through the song .... very thoughtless !

    the one that got 4 stars on allmusic... sunrise over sea i think. it sounded like every ben harper/jack johnson/jason mraz album i ever heard. just a guy jamming on guitar with his laid back white-kid-reggae rhythms. that said, i imagine, like most jam bands, he'd be incredible in concert. but the album just bored me.

    Get 3. :) That's where I started.
    In concert they're amazing! Just the best vibe, and such a fun show! The crowd get sooo excited, it's almost as good as PJ! :D
    NOPE!!!

    they actually had a fairly diverse show on monday...even tho i knew some stuff before hand i didnt notice until during the gig how much difference there was..

    some jack johnson-esque, some jam band-esque, some killer lap-slide-guitar songs, some ukelele, some long ass motherfucker drum solos, funkyass bass solos...
    ...and the icing on the cake of JB being awesome at everything!

    Holy shit !!! ... That's the way to describe it
    I just saw John Butler Trio yesterday and they are just fantastic live. Wow ... that gig was awesome.
    So if they come playing near you, it's definitely worth seeing them.

    And Kaki King as opening act was also great.
