How did you hook up with Chris Daughtry, Lacey Mosley, and Robert Randolph?
Anderson: We all met Daughtry last year at theGrammy Awards and he talked about listening to Third Day when he first got started in music. Mac and Chris have since remained close friends,so he was a natural to have on the record, especiallysincethe song he sang [“Slow Down”] speaks to friends trying to be there for each other. Our schedules didn’t allow us to be there when Chris recorded, but we did get it captured on video! We hadn’t heard Flyleaf’s music till Howard played it for us during pre-production. We were pretty blown away, especially by the song”All Around Me.”Watching Lacey sing was pretty cool, as she also talked about how Third Day influenced her when she was still a teenager. And I’ve been a huge fan of Robert Randolph since I first saw him play at Gospel Music Week four or five years ago.I wrote the riff for”Otherside” and immediately thought it sounded like something that Robert could absolutely nail.Now that we’re under the same management, it was a breeze to work it
