John Butler Trio: Live at St Gallen

Herald rating: **

Swiss festival-recorded live album (and live-in-TV-studio DVD extra) from the popular Aussie roots outfit which allows Butler to stretch out his acoustic slide guitar excursions further than the not-exactly-brief studio versions of the songs.

That includes 11-plus pointless mad-strumming minutes of Ocean which Butler introduces as "a little instrumental I used to play on the streets back home in Australia".

Busking's loss is obviously Oz rock's gain.
