Adobo Records is thrilled to announce the September 5th release of “Return of the Vutvuters,” the highly anticipated new album from John The Baptist.
Featuring the songwriting talents of John Blackwell, this genre-bending collection showcases a diverse musical palette and a powerful emotional journey.
“Return of the Vutvuters” (pronounced “voot” as in “foot”) marks a new chapter for John The Baptist. The eleven-track album is a testament to Blackwell’s artistic evolution, seamlessly blending elements of experimental rock, heavy riffs, soulful jazz influences, and heartfelt ballads. From the soaring vocals to the intricate guitar work, the record delivers a captivating
listening experience that will resonate with fans of diverse musical tastes.

“Return of the Vutvuters” features a surprising and delightful twist – the inclusion of a pedal steel guitar on select tracks. This unique sonic element adds a touch of mystery in its delivery that further underscores the album’s eclectic nature.
