Album Review

“Sunrise Over Sea”  John Butler Trio


With a satisfying blend of rock, folk, and blues, John Butler Trio fully delivers with its debut album Sunrise Over Sea. The band has no problem evoking an earthy tone utilizing a strong rhythmic bass, melodic acoustic guitar and creative percussion. This album is great for listening to around a campfire or working in the yard. In  “Peaches & Cream”, an ode to his wife and daughter, the lyrics tell a story of hope, painted vividly by John Butler’s vocals. My personal favorite track is “What You Want” which starts out with moving orchestral strings and reveals itself as a ballad of love and longing. Other notable gems on the album are “Mist” and “Seeing Angels” however, this is definitely a listen through album. The group certainly has its own vibe, but if you’re a fan of Jack Johnson, Eric Clapton, or Mishka, be sure to check out John Butler Trio.
