Free Music Notes for Third Day

Free Music Review: A Very Good Debut
Hit: 5 Stars

Two things impressed me about this debut CD. One, Third Day (specifically Mac Powell) wrote all their own music. Many new bands either cover other people's songs or bring in more veteran guest writers. Also, young bands often have yet to develop good song writing talents. Of course, none of these traits played into Third Day's first CD. Secondly, Rich Mullins played as a guest instrumentalist on "Praise Song." Those of you who are Rich Mullins' fans know that he was gracious, but he did not lend out his name indiscriminately. Having Rich Mullins play on this album is an endorsement indeed.

I imediately enjoyed "Nothing At All," "Did You Mean It," and "Praise Song." In fact, having "Nothing At All" start the sequencing and then finishing with "Praise Song" is a stroke of genius. As with the remaining ten songs sandwiched in between, the whole album demonstrates strong lyrics, talented musicians, and Mac Powell's signature vocals. There is a good mixture of guitar rockers ("Consuming Fire" for example), power ballads ("Thief"), and acustic gems ("Take My Life").

Although they really sound nothing like the Black Crows, their style fits right in with the newer southern rock bands that have gained popularity in the past ten years. The biggest difference is that Third Day plays music that lifts up Jesus and stirs the soul to meditate on and praise God. This is a strong debut from them.
