"Back Again" (Released 7/26)
First full album from Mac Powell and the Family Reunion
"['Back Again'] exemplifies the band's high-energy sound," stated Billboard. "The remainder of the album, like the band's live shows, is a blend of country, rock and gospel, brought to life with Powell's gritty, soulful voice."
“Like most people, I grew up listening to my Mom and Dad’s record collection,” says Powell. “There was singer-songwriter stuff, some country and southern rock. I always liked artists like CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival), James Taylor, the Eagles or even the Stones who weren’t country per se, but who sometimes leaned more toward that sound. That’s what was stirring my mind and my spirit.”
To that end, he formed Mac Powell and the Family Reunion after Third Day’s final shows in 2018, utilizing musical “brothers” who had been recording and playing live with Mac in support of his other solo projects, including his 2012 self-titled debut and 2014's Southpaw. Recorded in Atlanta with producer/musical director Jason Hoard, Powell and his bandmates purposely kept a raw edge to the record. The result is a welcome looseness and down-home charm to Back Again. Beginning with the title track, Mac and his band are equally comfortable crafting singalongs ("Whoo!" featuring Craig Morgan), gentle ballads ("Red on a Rose") and hand-clapping, toe-tapping country pop ("Going to California," "Mississippi").

"December" Lyrics
December
December -my old long lost friend
Your cold winds are blowing me
Home once again
December- don’t leave me just yet
With all of these memories
How could I forget
I was born in late December
The sky was dark and wind was cold
To tell the truth I don’t remember
It’s just what I was always told
And it must’ve been a real hard winter
For a mother and her first newborn
For a new life that was just beginning
And a father that was going to war
December- My old long lost friend
Your cold winds are blowing me
Home once again
December don’t leave me just yet
With all of these memories
How could I forget
Now that I’m a little older
and I have children of my own
The season means much more to me now
So I’m going to let that cold wind blowAway in a Manger
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
'Til morning is nigh
Joy to the World the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven
To live with Thee thereSouthpaw
Second chapter of Mac's solo career
The second foray into country music by Third Day frontman Mac Powell displays the same earthiness and conviction that’s earned him legions of fans in both the Christian and secular realms. Cowriting with such notables as Darius Rucker, Travis Tritt, and Sugarland’s Kristian Bush, Powell brings a Dixie-fried intensity to upbeat tracks like “Red Boots,” ”Summer Lovin’,” and “90 to Nothing” and fills ballads like “Sittin’ Here Talkin’ with You,” “Everything to Me,” and “I’ve Always Loved You” with a rough-hewn tenderness. First cut to last, Southpaw feels like a homecoming celebration for this Alabama native son.
