There are many artists whose genre is praise and worship music, and to be honest, much of that music is boring and predictable. It almost seems to be just a commodity.
"Today Is the Day", however, is different. In this collection of all-new songs (all but one written or co-written by Lincoln), Lincoln Brewster offers simple but honest lyrics and amazing musical skills. The cd is anything but boring as it explores different musical styles: the gospel-tinged "Give Him Praise", the lovely acoustic "The Love of God" and of course some rocking numbers with solos that feature Lincoln's blazing guitar artistry.
I highly recommend this cd, and I also recommend that you catch Lincoln in concert as he and his band are in great form, and the live format will give an extra dimension to these songs.
One last thing: do yourself and the rest of the world a favor, and stop buying the boring, low-quality, put-it-out-there-and-they'll-buy-it worship music. Instead support artists (and I mean artists) like Lincoln Brewster and a few others who are the real deal and who make quality music.

I've enjoyed Lincoln Brewster for many years and have been led by him in worship at Creation East twice and found his passion and musicianship very engaging, particularly on some of his biggest hit songs The Power Of Your Love, Let The Praises Ring, Everlasting God and Love The Lord, all of which have been staples in corporate worship at my church for many years. His songs tend to be vertical worship with biblical lyrics and with nice melodic hooks similar to Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman and Tim Hughes.
Today Is The Day is no exception to past quality work by Lincoln Brewster and will certainly add a couple more songs to corporate worship, in particular the hook-filled and biblical title song and the great cover of the Hillsong classic Salvation Is Here. As others have said, the musicianship and guitar playing really stands out on this album most of all. Everywhere I Go and Give Him Praise are prime examples where you can get lost in the nice melodies and guitar playing. For me, the stand-out songs which keep me coming back are the excellent God You Reign, which I can best describe as Hillsong meets Jeff Healey Band along with my favorite song The Power Of Your Name, sung with Darlene Zschech of Hillsong. I had to immediately replay the latter song as it is a must-have track on this solid vertical worship album by Lincoln Brewster. For me, this album is 4 out of 5 stars.

Since receiving this CD the day it came out it's been in my CD player on 'repeat'!
And you know how the Holy Spirit works... bringing to mind scripture or song when you need it... the title track is my favorite... but we've been singing it in church for a few months now, a real focus in on Jesus-God to start the day! But also Lincoln's rendition of "Salvation is Here" comes to mind when satan throws one of his darts through-out the day "And I don't care what the world throws at me now, I'm gonna be alright!" My third favorite is again bringing my focus to God in "God You Reign" - so descriptive with "You paint the night, You count the stars and You call them by name, The skies proclaim, God, YOU reign..." And often times the phrase "Give Him Praise, un, uh, un, un, uh!" gets stuck in your head and reminds you (me) to praise Him.
Though I prefer the peppy, energetic songs the best, the entire cd is a nice balance of pep & mellow. I have a little friend with cancer (Please send up a prayer for her!) and I gave her the CD just for those days she needs a pick-up and renewed hope in Our God so awesome, loving, and powerful healer, the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Great guitar playing
I saw Lincoln in concert at my church. I sat in the back in case I wanted to leave early due to being a senior. No way. I never hear/saw anyone play guitar like he does. Read more

Outstanding musician!
This has to be one of the best musicians out there today. There is something about a musician who writes, sings and performs his/her own songs. This is real talent. Read more
