Lincoln Brewster

Are there any fans of this worship leader? Lincoln got his big break playing for the former singer of Journey, and he released his first worship record in the late 90's. I love his playing style, and he has only done a couple of cover tunes in his career. His studio albums typically are new songs. His last two albums "Today Is The Day" and "Real Life" (just came out) are playful, full of guitar solos, and very heartfelt even for the simplistic lyrics. Some people compare his writing/playing style to John Mayer.

I think over the years that Lincoln is probably my favorite in the worship field. Jeff Deyo would have to be a close second as these guys write new stuff but are not afraid to rock it out a bit.

I have one of his albums, but almost never play it. Which is strange because when I do play it, I am left full of joy with a light heart. He has a good talent for crafting good pop songs. I need to break it out today and give it a spin.

I love Lincoln Brewster as well! We play some of his song for Praise and Worship in Youth Group.

Are some of those "live" albums? For some reason I thought he only had 3 or 4 studio albums.

He has one live album, but even with that, there are different songs than on his studio projects. I don't usually like live discs, but Lincoln's was worth it because it wasn't just songs he'd already done. Plus, he cuts loose with a lot more lead guitar.

Here's the complete discography:

Lincoln Brewster 1999
Live To Worship 2000
Amazed 2002
All To You Live 2005
Let The Praises Ring--The Best Of Lincoln Brewster 2006
Today Is The Day 2008
Today Is The Day expanded 2009
Real Life 2010

I don't have the greatest hits disc or the expanded version of "Today Is The Day".

The only one I have is "Live to Worship". Looks like I might need to check out some more of his catalog.

The very first one and the three newest ones are chock full of guitar solos. The one you have, Gary, is pretty void of them.
