Album Of The Day: Live From The Woods by Needtobreathe

Album Art of Needtobreathe's Live From The Woods album - On a rough cardboard/paper looking background of a brown color, the majority of the cover is a drawing of the head of an owl in black pen, with the eyes colored a yellow. At the top, on the left it says the band's name in white capital letters, there's an 'X' shape to the right of it, and it says 'Live From the Woods At Fontanel' in smaller letters to the right on two lines.

I had heard for a few years about the fun live shows that Needtobreathe put on, but it wasn't until about 5 years into their existence as a major-label band that I got around to seeing them play live. And I was hooked. Their albums are good southern rock with a bit of gospel/blues thrown in in places, but only once I heard them play live did I really like them. They're all great musicians and the band can really play, plus they know how to put on a good show with the video screens, lights, etc. This 2-CD Live At The Woods album captures the audio of their live show really well and features some of the best songs of their first 5 albums. Many songs run 5 or 6 minutes long with the band jammin' and rockin' the crowd. On occasion, lead singer Bear Rinehart shares a bit about the song before they perform it, and it's meaningful and doesn't get too old on repeated listens. Needtobreathe is a really good band, and this live recording is just as good as their studio albums, in my opinion. I always enjoy when they come to town, but this album is the next best thing.
