Album Of The Day: Third Verse by Smalltown Poets

Album Art of Smalltown Poets's Third Verse album - On a red background, a simple drawing of four men in a rock band in the front with a road, a few small town buildings, and a pond with a horse are in the background above them. The illustration could have been done by a child or maybe just someone who has not practiced their art craft well, but it's colorful and unique. Around the drawing is a small back border and then a wide yellowish-gold frame, in which on the top is printed the band's name and the bottom the album title in a hand-drawn-style font.

Released 25 years ago this past September, this is the aptly-titled third album from rock band Smalltown Poets. It's maybe not the band's most beloved album, but I really like these songs. "Every Reason", "Any Other Love" and "That Line" are quality rock with a Christian message. Some of the best songs on this album are covers of '90s Christian rock you may not have heard, "Beautiful, Scandalous Night" and "The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes, And The Pride Of Life". And well, I love a great all-out rock closing track, and "100 Billion Watts" definitely does that here. Smalltown Poets is not one of my favorite bands, but whenever I do give their music a listen, I wonder why I don't listen to it more often because it's good. They also recently put out an EP a month or two ago, which is good too.
