What you want john butler trio


What You Want (originally titled "Far Away") is the second commercially available single/EP by Australian jam band the John Butler Trio from the album Sunrise Over Sea. It was released on 9 August 2004 and is a curious blend of roots and alternative rock.

"What You Want" was ranked #51 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.

The title track was originally released on the 2003 album Sunrise Over Sea, as was the original version of "Treat Yo Mama"; while "Pickapart" was included on the JBT EP.

The release includes a version of "Betterman" which is a previously unreleased re-recorded version with John Butler's current band, "Treat Yo Mama" is also a previously unreleased country funk version that was recorded during the '"Betterman" (US Version)' sessions. "Across the Universe" is the John Butler Trio's take on the Beatles Classic.
