Get Your Strategy On
I just hope you have great speakers connected to your computer.
Lincoln Brewster’s newest album, Today is the Day, releases on September 23. I got my hands on a pre-release of the album and listened to it for the first time last night. All I can say is some of the guiter riffs are unbelievable. No. Really. I don’t think they’re humanly possible. Brewster is a beast with the guitar.
Now, here’s the deal. I didn’t want you to have to wait until September 23 to hear this. So, with a little help from friends, I was able to get you a preview stream of my favorite track off the new album. The guitar solos are amazing.
Are you ready? Crank up the volume and listen to this:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Did you like that? Well there’s more just like it on the rest of the album. Be patient. Beginning next Tuesday, you’ll be able to pre-order the album from iTunes.
Aren’t you glad I’m looking out for your musical interests?

The bad news:
That’s no stream, my friend. That’s a raw, downloadable MP3 :-)
The Good news:
The record label need not worry. Hearing that just made me want to buy the whole album when released (and convinced me not to give up on Christian music).
Nice.

Couldn’t agree with you MORE on Brewster’s flying guitar solos. Amazing playing, amazing music, and it all points to God. Love his stuff…so much so that I wrote out the music to his new single “Today Is the Day” for our band to play and posted to my site for others to use until the music comes out. Love his stuff.

This reminds me of the early days of Brewster…which I miss.

I second what Nathan said! The record company should be putting this song out for free all over the place, I am definitely going to buy this album now!

80’s rock is back! But, at least its not the same old same old that’s been coming out for so long.
Uniqueness, a voice speaking for itself.

VERY nice. Can’t put my finger on which song but there were some parts that sounded very similar to a Van Halen tune circa early 80’s.

Great song! Good guitar rock and especially guitar solos have been lost over the years.
I think there is a sense out there that guitar solos put the focus on the person and not God in Christian music/worship, and I guess there should be a little caution there, but to me God is the one that gave the person the gift so share it!

Ridiculous. Absurd. Amazing. And four notes per string.
Lincoln could be making mad amounts of money for his terrific musicianship, but he gives glory to God instead. Mad props.
Guitar FTW.
brent(inWorship) I don’t think these are the early days. I think the dude gets better and better.
