BAO 3 is a studio album by Swedish folk group Benny Anderssons Orkester, released on October 24, 2007. It is the group's third studio album and their fourth release in total.
Being a typical Benny Anderssons Orkester album,BAO 3 (the title indicates that it's the third BAO album) includes many different musical styles, ranging from Swedish folk music to pop, jazz, classical tunes and Viennese influences. The album is officially credited to "Benny Anderssons Orkester, Helen Sjöholm & Tommy Körberg", indicating that it also includes several tracks with vocals. In fact, compared to its studio predecessor, BAO! in 2004, the number of vocals tracks has increased. Seven out of the 12 tracks on the album are sung by either Helen Sjöholm or Tommy Körberg or as a duet. Körberg can be heard on a BAO studio album for the first time, after already appearing together with the group during their tours and also lending vocals to two tracks on Benny Andersson's two solo albums from the 1980s, Klinga mina klockor and November 1989.
As usual, most of the lyrics were written by Andersson's former ABBA partner Björn Ulvaeus, while all the music was composed by Andersson himself.
BAO 3 was recorded in Sveriges Radios Studio 5 and Atlantis Studio, both in , during 2007. Like all Benny Anderssons Orkester albums, it was engineered by Bernard Löhr und subsequently mixed by him and Andersson at Mono Music Studio.
BAO 3 did not achieve the same success as the group's other two studio albums, which both topped the Swedish Albums Chart and stayed on the chart for 55 weeks. Nevertheless, BAO 3 entered the charts on November 1, reached the top 3 and also managed to collect a Gold disc during its 34-week chart run.
