Three (The John Butler Trio album)

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

All the music and lyrics were written and arranged by John Butler except Earthbound Child, which Ozzie Rea co-wrote. The album was recorded, engineered and mixed by Shaun O'Callaghan at Studio Couch, North Fremantle, Western Australia. Robin Mai, Nicky Bomba, and Joe Camilleri mastered it at Woodstock Studios. The John Butler Trio and Shaun O'Callaghan produced the album. John Butler designed the cover concept 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 ARIA Award for Best Independent Release.

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.
