Third Day’s Mac Powell Keeps ‘Christmas’ Simple with New EP
A prominent lyric from well-worn Christmas crooner Andy Williams reveals, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”
What he didn’t mention is that it’s also the busiest, most stressful, and expensive time we experience as the calendar year comes to a close. For all the baubles and beads designed to make our world just a little bit brighter, it is so easy to get lost in a shuffle of school Christmas concerts, your church’s latest theatrical production, or family get-togethers.
Mac Powell is all about keeping things simple during the Christmas season. So, much so that he has titled his latest holiday album simply, “Christmas”. Featuring five songs that will surely make your holiday playlists this year, the record also features three originals including a song the former Third Day lead singer wrote with his daughter and son-in-law called, “Christmas Time Again, My Friend”.
Powell shares, “This project has some old songs on it that help you make new Christmas memories, and some new songs on it to remind you of some old Christmas memories.”
Powell joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about why he loves Christmas so much. Listen as he shares about why he chose to write and record a song with his daughter and son-in-law and how his heavy touring schedule actually influences his sound as a solo artist.
