Notes: Third Day: David Carr , Tai Anderson, Mark Lee, Brad Avery. After a busy year that saw the group playing everywhere from The Tonight Show With Jay Leno to the Republican National Convention, Christian rockers Third Day released the two-disc live CD/DVD Live Wire. While heavy on material from the May 2004 release from which the collection derives its name, there are enough classics here ("Sing a Song," "Offering," "Consuming Fire"), as well as the previously unreleased "Thank You All," so that fans both new and old will find a firm place in their collections for this document of the 13-cut concert, recorded at the Palace Theater in Louisville, KY. The accompanying DVD is the real treat here. Featuring the video portion of the concert in its entirety, as well as photos, a documentary, and numerous other treats, Live Wire is a fully comprehensive look at one of CCM's most alluring acts. ~ James Christopher Monger

Third Day is one of CCM's biggest crossover acts, known as much for their tuneful alt-rock craft as for their earnest faith. Formed in the mid-1990s in Georgia, Third Day started out like most indie bands, gigging relentlessly and releasing low-budget home recordings. In 1996, they signed a multi-album deal with Reunion Records, the premier Christian label, which ensured radio play and audience exposure on a much bigger scale. Tours and collaborations with acts like Newsboys and Michael W. Smith followed, helping to raise their profile even more, and by the '00s, the band were genuine CCM stars, in an offshoot genre--Alternative CCM--that they helped to create.
