The return of the award-winning 2009 release
Since 1999, the Grammy-nominated southern rock band NEEDTOBREATHE have quietly emerged as a dynamic force in music, from releasing their first album in 2001 to finding themselves playing arenas and receiving nominations for multiple Dove Awards, Grammys, and Billboard Music Awards.
After releasing two successful albums Daylight and The Heat on Atlantic Records, the band released their third album, The Outsiders, in 2009. The record quickly put them on the map, peaking at #20 on the Billboard 200 and at #2 on the Hot Christian Albums charts. Their single “Something Beautiful” crossed over to Triple A (#12) and “Hurricane” to the Alternative charts (#29). AllMusic gave the album four stars, claiming it “offer[s] up another collection of sweeping, reverent rock songs [and] flirts with touches of roots rock and traditional gospel, from the title track’s powerful Southern stomp to the sheer power of Bear Rinehart’s voice.” The Outsiders won the Dove Award for Rock/Contemporary Album of The Year, and “Lay ’Em Down” landed honors as Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year. Two years later, the band would be on tour as the opening act for Taylor Swift’s Speak Now world tour, as well as performing alongside acts including Tim McGraw and Train. Since the release of this landmark album,
NEEDTOBREATHE has reached arena-sized proportions, headlining iconic venues such as Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, and four sold out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. The band most recently performed at the 2024 CMA Awards in Austin, Texas, with Jordan Davis, whom they also recorded an episode of CMT Crossroads with.
Now, over 15 years since The Outsiders was released and brought the band to greater heights, NEEDTOBREATHE are re-pressing the long sold-out record for the first time ever on translucent red vinyl.
