“New Day”
Troy Sneed
From the Emtro Gospel CD In Due Season (2009)

It seems appropriate to start the week with a joyous, upbeat song called “New Day.”
Troy Sneed’s latest single from his In Due Season CD takes us to church, quartet style. Sneed himself acknowledges this when he shouts, “Oh, y’all gonna make that quartet come out of me yet!” “New Day” is old-style praise with funky guitar riffs, a repetitive vamp, and background vocalists who serve as the congregation to Sneed’s singing preacher.
Shake off the past because today is a new day, Sneed declares, then he sustains a note Clarence Fountain-style.
