Three is the second studio album of Australian jam band The John Butler Trio.

Contents

All the music and lyrics were written and arranged by John Butler. The album was recorded, engineered and mixed by Shaun O'Callaghan at Studio Couch, North Fremantle, Western Australia. It was mastered at Woodstock Studios by Robin Mai, Nicky Bomba and Joe Camilleri. The album was produced by the John Butler Trio and Shaun O'Callaghan. The cover concept was designed by John Butler with Matt and Iowana at Insomnia Design.

There were guest appearances by:

  • Paul Boon - didgeridoo
  • George Rrurrambu - intro vocals on "Money"
  • Rosie Johnstone, David Broadfoot & Brenda Fost - backing vocals
  • In 2001 Three won the Australian ARIA award for 'Best Independent Release' (the ARIAs are Australia's highest awards in the music industry). In early 2002 Three went Platinum, selling in excess 75,000 copies, it has now sold well over 100,000.

    In the United States it was released on ATO Records, with a few more tracks than the Australian CD - partly because it was the first John Butler Trio album released in the United States.
