Flesh & Blood is the sixth album from Australian folk band John Butler Trio. Many listeners have eagerly awaited this release since 2010’s April Uprising.
John Butler Trio has developed a reputation for playing soulful folk infused with traces of funk. In previous albums, like Grand National, this signature style combined with bohemian attitudes bought the band success. In Flesh & Blood, we see a maturing band with the same level of boldness. John Butler Trio has pushed towards an established grace, while staying true to their roots.
“Spring to Come” or “Only One” have amazingly uplifting compositions. Various tracks on Flesh & Blood resonate classic John Butler Trio. “Livin’ In The City” and “Devil Woman” have the potential to give even The Black Keys a run for their money.
Flesh & Blood maintains the free-spirited attitude that the band has honed and proves that folk music is alive and well.
