Did you hear? Britney’s making a comeback!! That’s right- she dumped KFed, got on drugs, lost some weight, got off drugs, gained some weight, recorded an album, missed some show appearances, and now she’s back and better than ever! Even more frightening: the New Kids On The Block are making a comeback!!!??

WHAT THE HELL has happened to good music journalism? Do you share a similar sentiment? If so, I have just the band for you.

The John Butler Trio (JBT) is a return to roots, talent, raw power, and dynamic simplicity. Emerging from Fremantle, Australia, they have not been quick to gain acceptance from mainstream American music journalism. Though, this seems somewhat odd, because the band’s frontman, John Butler, was born and raised in California. His family picked up and moved to a small Western Australian town when he was eleven years old. At age sixteen, he picked up the guitar. Since this time, he hasn’t been able to set it down. His perfection on open-tunings and slide-guitar breed an eclectic sound of blues, reggae, funk, Celtic folk and Indian raga. Beyond this, however, it’s the return-to-roots feel that makes this band so remarkable.

The original version of the band released its first album, Three, in 2001. In 2003, they released a second album- Living. Both went platinum in Australia and reached into the top ten of the Australian album charts in those years. Afterwards, band members switched out and JBT found their true identity. Shannon Birchall entered as a new, mean bass player, along with the talented percussionist Michael Barker. Together, they released Sunrise Over Sea in March of 2004. The album soared up to number one in the national album charts and achieved gold record status during its first week of release.

In 2005, while at the music festival known as Bonnaroo, I was strolling around and, just by chance, happened upon JBT . Fresh off the Sunrise Over Sea release, the band was in the midst of an American tour. I heard some melodic guitar picking sounds coming from the tent to my left. I walked towards it like a zombie, as if compelled, and entered the tent to join the audience. The three-piece was on stage, with Birchall playing the upright bass and Butler, who at that time had long dreadlocks, playing slide guitar. At first impression, they seemed different and, very obviously, talented. Next, they began playing a song named ‘Zebra.’ Chills went down my spine. I quickly bought the album upon my return home.

JBT’s next album, Grand National, was released in March of 2007. Everything I had hoped for, the album’s every bit as good, if not better, than the previous. Fittingly, its first single was a catchy tune entitled, Better Than. On this album, however, every track is capable of being a single. Since its release, I’ve seen them live again and they put on another fantastic show.

But, if you can’t see them live, don’t worry. Take my word- what you hear from them in concerts will be exactly what you hear from the studio recordings. You don’t have to be a fan of any particular genre of music. You don’t have to know what talented musicianship sounds like. I said it once and I’ll say it again: Their music is, very simply, powerful.

Robin Thicke, “Something Else”
Album Due Out: 9/30
Unload: Magic
Maybe it was the ridiculous music video that ruined the song for me? Or did the song ruin the song for me?

Oasis, “Dig Out Your Soul:
Album Due Out: 10/7
Unload: The Shock of the Lightning
Download: Falling Down

Bob Dylan, “The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8 — Tell Tale Signs: Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006″
Album Due Out: 10/7
Download. I fully support anything Dylan.

Ray LaMontage, “Gossip in the Grain”
Album Due Out: 10/14
Download: You Are The Best Thing
I think he’s a solid artist and I can’t wait to hear the rest of his tracks.

The Cure, “4:13 Dream”
Album Due Out: 10/28
Unload: The Perfect Boy
I’ll admit it; I just plain don’t like The Cure.

Kaiser Chiefs, “Off With Their Heads”
Album Due Out: 10/28
Download: Never Miss a Beat
Probably my favorite song from them yet.

Pink, “Funhouse”
Album Due Out: 10/28
Unload: So What
I wouldn’t even put this on my workout mix… it’s that bad.

Snow Patrol, “A Hundred Million Suns”
Album Due Out: 10/28
Download: Take Back the City
They had a lot to live up to after I loved their entire last album. This track is not their usual sound with a heavy emphasis on the guitar, but it works for me on a different level. However, I do really look forward to their typical, piano heavy tracks on the record.

John Legend, “Evolver”
Album Due Out: 10/28
Download: Green Light
The album’s collabs include Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Akon and Andre 3000…. can’t go wrong.

Fall Out Boy, “Folie a Deux”
Album Due Out: 11/4
Download: I Don’t Care.
Obsessed with this song.

Taylor Swift, “Fearless”
Album Due Out: 11/11
Unload: Love Story
I love a lot of country music, but this just sounds like a soundtrack song for a Freddie Prize Jr. or Kate Hudson movie.

The Killers, “Day & Age”
Album Due Out: 11/25
Unload: Spaceman
Disappointing. I’m hoping there is something else on the album that will give me a “Mr. Brightside” euphoria.

Common, “Universal Mind Control”
Album Due Out: Out in November/December
Download: Universal Mind Control ft. Pharrell
Sounds like a guilty pleasure. Will go straight to a “getting ready to go out” playlist.

Britney Spears, “Circus”
Album Due Out: 12/2
Unload: Mannequin, Womanizer and Circus.
Obvious reasons.

50 Cent, “Before I Self-Destruct”
Album Due Out: 12/9
Download: Freeze
Classic 50 sound; could be mistaken for any other 50 song after four drinks. LL and Banks are also on the track and I happen to love Lloyd Banks.
