The challenge to Essential Records when putting together a six track collection introducing a major award winning band like Third Day must be immense, not least because there will always be dozens of tracks some will insist should have been included! You will find 2005 Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year "Cry Out To Jesus", the jaw dropping "Mountain Of God" and the title track from the 2008 album "Revelation" alongside "Call My Name" from the same album included, but not high profile tracks such as the Gospel Music award winning "Sky Falls Down" (2001) and "My Hope Is In You" (used in the 2002 film 'Joshua'). It should also be noted that there are no tracks from albums prior to album three 'Time' (1999). However, as it stands there are superb tracks here that serve as a useful introduction to the Atlanta rockers.
