Grand National is the fourth album by the John Butler Trio.
[3] The album reached number one on the ARIA Albums Chart and the Billboard Heatseekers chart in the US, and as of 10 March 2008 it has reached triple Platinum Status (210,000+ copies sold).
The title of the album is derived from the antique dobro resophonic guitar that Butler inherited from his grandfather.
In the 1920s the Dobro and National were competitors in the development of resonator or resophonic guitars, in 1934 they merged to form the National-Dobro Corporation, and hence the name of the album.
All music and lyrics written and arranged by John Butler.
