Third Day and band take a break with Fame Studios owner Rick Hall (center)
Third Day is going a little old school and reaching back deep into their musical roots on their latest CD, Revival, due out Aug. 4. They recorded the new project at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, which has been the birthplace of recordings by Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding and more, and checked a box off the bucket list in making the new album there.
“It’s one of those ‘if these walls could talk’ kind of things,” drummer David Carr shares. “With all of the incredible hits, the sounds the melodies that have been created in [that] space, some of that you hope that it rubs off a little bit.”
Third Day’s touring band joined them in the studio for the making of the new CD, which includes 13 songs produced by their long-time producer, mentor and friend Monroe Jones. The album’s first single, “Revival,” is at radio and available now at all digital service providers for download and streaming here.
