Album Of The Day: Lincoln Brewster by Lincoln Brewster

Album Art of Lincoln Brewster's self-titled album - A black-and-white photo of a young white man with short hair sitting with an electric guitar on his lap and playing it, looking down towards the floor with his eyes mostly closed. The white parts of the photo are a metallic gold, like the photo is printed on some sort of bronze or copper or something. A few of the dark spots in the photo have a golden-bronze hole, like the printing process onto metal didn't go perfectly. In the golden area to the right of the person's head above the guitar's neck, it says the artist's name in a very retro, '50s style font that kinda looks like cursive.

Released on this day 26 years ago, this was the first solo album from Lincoln Brewster, a very talented guitarist who has mostly led worship at churches in his 30-plus years making music, though he was lead guitarist for Steve Perry of Journey's solo tours and an album about 30 years ago. Most of his albums follow a very standard modern worship formula, but this one is different and it is my favorite album of all his albums. This is an all-out, guitar-based rock album from start to finish. "Spin" and "Everybody Praise The Lord" bring some level of guitar-based pop with lots of energy and Gospel-focused lyrics. Slightly more moody songs like "Hey God", "On My Way" and "Walk On" bring a bit of blues to this rock album and are less praise and worship and more personal reflection on life and faith. Throughout, Brewster's guitar licks and the drums, keys and bass from his studio band are top-notch, and his voice is great for a rock album. Personally, I wish he would have made a few more albums like this, and maybe one of these years Lincoln Brewster would make a rock album like this again.
