The last 12 months have been huge for the John Butler Trio. Their self-titled EP has been in the Aria alternative top 20 for the last 25 weeks, and the band has played every major Festival in the last 18 months from Big Day Out to Homebake to Womadelaide to the Byron Bay Blue's Festival. John Butler and the John Butler Trio's fan base has been growing steadily over the last year and anticipation for this new album, Three, is high. The album delivers on all fronts, with some awesome slide guitar playing in a Ben Harper style and strong lyrical content taking on the ills of society and the environment this album is set to be one of the quite achievers of 2001. The recent extensive national tour has meant John Butler's profile couldn't be higher.
