PREMIERE: John Butler Trio's New Album Flesh & Blood

Australian fans have a mere few days to wait before Flesh & Blood, the brand new record from the John Butler Trio lands in record stores around the country, but we're beside ourselves to say that we're streaming it for you exclusively on theMusic.com.au until its release on FrIday.

The first album for the John Butler Trio in almost four years is released at a time of great change for the band; it's their first release with producer Jan Skubiszewski (Way Of The Eagle) and their last with long time drummer Nicky Bomba, who is no longer a part of the group.

What has resulted is a record that sounds very much like what fans would say the John Butler Trio should sound like at this stage of their career, after over 15 years of existence and enormous worldwide success, as well as godlike status in their home country.

But you can find out for yourself by streaming Flesh & Blood here up until its release on Friday.

John Butler Trio will be out on the road through March and April with a stack of massive shows all around the country, as well as a return to Bluesfest, already announced. You can check out those dates in theGuide below.
