Butler leads his tight ensemble through an impressive set of folk-tinged rock on 2007's GRAND NATIONAL. Featuring bold, organic production by Mario Caldato, Jr. (the Beastie Boys, Beck), the album showcases the rhythmic mastery of bassist Shannon Birchall and drummer Michael Barker, while fully spotlighting Butler's amiable vocals and deft work on acoustic and electric guitars and other stringed instruments. Highlights of the immediately engaging record include the exuberant "Better Than" and the fast-paced "Funky Tonight." Those looking for another earnest and emotive jam-band hero will find him here.

I have never really been a fan, but I bought this on the Strength of Funky Tonight. What a brilliant album. I just love Better Than. When ever I hear that I feel like a happier and better person. Remarkable that songs can still affect you. Love this cd, strongly suggest those who like JBT get it and those who dont like JBT get it.

I love, love, love JBT. This album has quite a different sound than their last album 'Sunrise Over Sea'. Grand National is great to listen to, great to sing to, great to dance to! I love the depth of JBT's lyrics and their musicianship is awesome.
