To be released Aug. 23

Press Release

Multi-Grammy Award-winning and multi-Platinum selling band Third Day announced the 25th anniversary digital deluxe version of their album, “TIME,” originally released on Aug. 24, 1999. On Aug. 23, the original album will be released, along with all four songs from the “Southern Tracks” EP and three previously unreleased live songs recorded the same year the album was released. 

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of “TIME,” fans can preorder the original LP's first pressing on vinyl in three unique colors, along with new “TIME” merch. In addition, the rare song, "It's About Time," from the “Southern Tracks” EP, is now available on all streaming platforms. 

" ‘TIME’ is one of my top albums we made as a band," Third Day frontman Mac Powell said. "I’m often asked what my favorite Third Day song is, and I always return to 'I’ve Always Love You.' I love its acoustic, down-home feel, and it was bold to start the album with it. It’s crazy to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the album this year. I’m excited to get all four 'Southern Tracks' out to our fans, and I’m forever grateful for what the album meant and did in our and our fans' lives."

“TIME,” the band's third album, was the first project produced by Monroe Jones, who went on to produce “Offerings,” the Grammy-winning “Come Together,” “Offerings II,” “Chronology Vol. 1,” and the band's final album, “Revival.”

Third Day's Mark Lee added, "If you ask any of the guys in Third Day what our favorite album is, we will always mention ‘TIME.’ It represents the first time we recorded at Southern Tracks. The first time we worked with Monroe Jones. It’s the album where we figured out how to be a band in the studio. I am beyond thrilled to be able to share this 25^th anniversary version of the album with our fans."

Fans can preorder the vinyl and merch and stream “It’s About Time” here.
