LIMP BIZKIT: THREE DOLLAR BILL Y’ALL Debut Studio Album (1997)

LIMP BIZKIT: THREE DOLLAR BILL Y’ALL Album cover

Three Dollar Bill, Y’all (stylized as Three Dollar Bill, Yall$) is the debut studio album by the rap rock band Limp Bizkit, released on July 1, 1997, by Flip and Interscope Records. It established the band’s trademark sound with the singles “Counterfeit“, which was influenced by hip hop and heavy metal, and “Faith“, a cover of the song of the same name by George Michael. Limp Bizkit‘s rearrangement of the song incorporated heavier guitar playing by Wes Borland and scratching by DJ Lethal.

Three Dollar Bill, Y’all$ was produced by Ross Robinson, who was introduced to the band through Korn bassist ReginaldFieldyArvizu, who persuaded Robinson to listen to Limp Bizkit‘s demo. Robinson was impressed by the band’s motivation and sound, and agreed to work with them. The album showcased an intentionally abrasive, angry sound which the band felt would attract a fanbase.

Wes Borland left Limp Bizkit preceding a successful performance opening for Korn at the Dragonfly in Hollywood due to a disagreement with Fred Durst, Limp Bizkit signed with Mojo, a subsidiary of MCA Records. While heading to California to record their first album, the band wrecked their van, leading Durst to rehire Borland. After a dispute with Mojo, Limp Bizkit signed with Flip, a subsidiary of Interscope Records.

During the recording sessions, the band recorded an early version of their song “I’m Broke“, but it was decided that the song didn’t fit on this album. It was subsequently reworked and recorded for their followup, Significant Other.

Continuing the band’s policy of using titles that would hopefully repulse potential listeners, the band named the album by using part of the phrase “queer as a three dollar bill” and adding the word “Y’all” at the end to embody Florida slang into the title, consequently giving the album the name Three Dollar Bill, Y’all.
