Lyle Lovett singing Keep It In Your Pantry, August 1, 2008
Every few days or so I get some hits from people searching for these lyrics. So I put on my headphones and then consulted some friends who also listened, and this is what we came up with:

The John Butler Trio will be changing its line up in the upcoming months. Drummer Michael Barker and bass player Shannon Birchall will play their last shows with The John Butler Trio in April.
John has thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the last 6 years touring and recording with Michael and Shannon and for purely artistic reasons, feels that it is necessary to change the line up.
Historically the John Butler Trio have had a changing line up over the last 10 years through their stage performances and studio recordings of ‘Three’, ‘Sunrise Over Sea’ and ‘Grand National’.
John Butler said today,
“Michael and Shannon have been by far the best line up I have performed with in The John Butler Trio to date. They have been a pleasure to live, love, learn, record and tour with. Their professionalism, musicianship, and commitment have been unwavering and for that and a whole lot more I am truly thankful.”
John Butler would like to publicly acknowledge the amazing contribution that Michael and Shannon have made over these last years, and wishes them well in their future musical and personal endeavours.

This is a sad day.
Will we in the States ever get to hear and feel Michael Barker’s rhythms pound through the atmosphere again?
I guess maybe if we are lucky he might tour the US with some other group. But maybe not. And for sure not with the JBT again.
I’m just sad.

Last night I saw Taylor Hicks at the Roxy in Los Angeles. (March 18, 2009)
I loved it. It was my favorite TH performance. He brought his A+++ game. Great music. It was the best vocals I’ve ever heard from him, and that’s saying something.
The crowd was pretty cool, the venue was cool, the band was great, and like I said, Taylor seriously BROUGHT IT.
And that encore…remember Taking It to the Streets? Remember how he just rocked that song out and we all shouted ‘HELL YES!’ at the end? Well, that’s how he rocked out My Sweet Lord. It was electric. I wish you could have seen it.
I can’t give much more of a recap because I am running on very little sleep and…I just can’t. I’m beat.
The recording should be up in a few days, but here’s some samples while you wait:
ETA: The Right Place
Gonna Move
Seven Mile Breakdown
My Sweet Lord
It’s been a few days since I got the album, and I LOVE it. Beautiful.
If this sounds beautiful to you, BUY IT. You won’t regret it.
