Alive And Transported (Forefront Records)

Street Date: May 27 2008

tobyMac’s first live CD/DVD project, Alive & Transported, brings all the fun and energy of the “Portable Sounds Tour” to a stereo near you. Loaded with 21 songs and non-stop stimulus, the CD/DVD package is definitely worth the buy just because it’s a combo. Featuring an array of camera viewpoints and a great showcase of song choreography, the DVD is a must-have for all tobyMac lovers—especially since most fans have never seen toby so up-close because his concerts are packed, and only a precious few are able to get a front row spot.

A community-driven man, tobyMac is quick to admit that his music is a team effort. The Diverse City Band dynamically delivers vocally and with its stage presence on Alive & Transported. And, as a special treat, Rebecca Barlow, lead guitarist for BarlowGirl, makes an appearance on “Jesus Freak.” Alive & Transported provides a good mix of toby’s current hits and past favorites. Pick up this transportable combo to take the “Portable Sounds Tour” with you anywhere.
