NEEDTOBREATHE's new album

      NEEDTOBREATHE is back with their new album The Reckoning.  Originally having music only on Christian radio, this band has gotten a lot of mainstream attention since their recent tour with Taylor Swift.  Their music is more alt-country lately with lots of soul.  The Reckoning takes NEEDTOBREATHE back to their folk-ish sound, but this time they seem a little bit darker.
     Bear Rinehart, lead singer, has seriously one my favorite voices.  He sounds like a wonderful mix of John Meyer meets Jack Johnson, but with a gospel twist.  Rinehart could easily be a voice on the stage at your local bar or the leader of a large Black Baptists choir.
     This album is great to wake up to, study to, or go on a nice long drive with friends to.  It's perfect for so many different occasions.  NEEDTOBREATHE has had a pattern for making chill yet inspirational music.  Their music is good and just plain fun.

My favorite NEEDTOBREATHE song:                                                                                                     Girl Named Tennessee
