''Three'' is the third solo album by the Canadian indie rock musician Joel Plaskett, released on March 24, 2009.〔Thiessen, Brock (January 27, 2009). "(Joel Plaskett Is Obsessed With the Number Three )". ''Exclaim!''. Retrieved on 2009-03-12.〕 Plaskett produced and recorded the album himself at his own Scotland Yard studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. In addition to being released as a triple album, the number three is reflected in several other aspects of the album. Each disc has nine songs on it, many of which are titled with a single word or phrase repeated three times. The album's release date of 3/24/09 also consists of numbers divisible by three, the cover features an image of Plaskett holding three fingers up, and preorders through MapleMusic were distributed with access to exclusive tickets, priced at $66, which would entitle the purchaser to a seat in the first twelve rows of Plaskett's concert at Toronto's Massey Hall the night before the album's release.〔 According to Plaskett, the discs tell a story of "going away, being alone and coming home", with each disc representing one of those three themes.〔Flinn, Sean (May 28, 2009).

The three of them tried jamming at Easley McCain Recording in Memphis, and Plaskett decided he wanted to have them on his new album and write parts for them.〔Rayner, Ben (May 23, 2009).
