Distributor: BMG (distributor)

Notes: Third Day: Mark Lee, Brad Avery (guitar); Mac Powell (acoustic guitar); Tai Anderson (bass instrument); David Carr (drum). Issued in 2007, this Third Day collection pulls many of the finest songs from the popular Christian rock group's first four albums. Highlights of the set include the grungy "Nothing at All," the gospel-tinged "Have Mercy," and updated versions of "Thief" and "My Hope Is You," two tracks that effectively display both the Georgia-based band's technical progression and its consistent commitment to faith.

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.
