Mac Powell served as the front man for the highly successful Christian rock band Third Day. The group disbanded in 2018 after a nearly 30-year run. Powell released a solo country album and now offers his first solo Christian album, “New Creation.” "After the Third Day farewell tour, I took some time to pursue being an independent artist, and I think it was really helpful in getting me to this moment," said Powell in a release. “I believe this collection of songs has come from God, and I can’t wait to hear stories of how they connect with and help people through the days we're living in.” The music features rock-and-roll, southern and praise anthems, and Powell’s distinctive southern voice plays loud and clear. A favorite song, “River of Life,” reminds one of a good old southern revival meeting. The chorus states: “Brothers, sisters, come on down to that river; Guaranteed you’ll never be the same; There’s a fountain flowing from the heart of the Savior; Bring your sins and all your guilty stains; Let that river of life wash it all away.” If listeners enjoyed Third Day, they will appreciate Powell’s first solo Christian effort as well.
