Third Day Releases 11th Studio Album 'Move'
Multi-Platinum rock band Third Day released their eleventh studio album 'Move' yesterday, 19th October 2010. Produced by Paul Moak (Mat Kearney, Martha Wainwright), the new album follows 'Revelation', which debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 in 2008, and 2009's CD/DVD 'Live Revelations', which won the band its fourth Grammy earlier this year.
'Move' includes the incendiary single 'Lift Up Your Face', featuring The Blind Boys of Alabama, which has become Third Day's fastest-rising single. "The country is going through hard times, and there are doubts and insecurity," explains lead vocalist Mac Powell. "'Lift Up Your Face' is our message of encouragement - not just to listeners though - to us as well. It's a message we all need to hear and I think that really sums up a lot of what we were going for with this record."
The raw, rootsy 12-track collection finds members Mac Powell, Mark Lee, Tai Anderson and David Carr at their melodic and lyrical best. Recently inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, the band's Southern roots clearly inform Move, from the sinuous slide guitar to the layers of smoky vocals. Highlights include the visceral 'Make Your Move', which has already been tapped by ESPN College Football, the guitar-picking, hand-clapping, in-your-face classic 'Surrender' and the soulful 'Sound of Your Voice'.
