  1. Jesus, he lookes like Johnny Depp…. he´s such a genius… he makes even the boys wet their pants… let´s all get down on our knees for John Butler one more time, folks!

  2. He just defined songwriting, it all fits together and makes sense to me now! My god this man is a musical genius. I'm glad he's not mainstream! 

  3. bob dylan is the king of one inch punch phrases. Not nearly as talented as mr butler on the guitar, but just saying dylan is lyrical genius in all its glories and faults.

  4. @remshadows That's how I felt when I first heard his music back in the spring of 2010. Borders was promoting the April Uprising album, and I was like, "Who is this?!" Then, I saw that John Butler Trio had a few studio and live albums out, and I was like, "How have I never heard of them before?!" It is now my personal mission to get as many people to hear them and love them as possible.

  5. He was born in the US, but moved here to Australia at an early age and grew up here. He considers himself Australian.

    John Butler and his Trio are amazing!
