Alternate Cover

Rockin' Revival is the second album by Servant, released by Tunesmith Records[1] in 1982, and was also the first album with Matt Spransy in the lineup. The original cover featured a picture of a revival meeting using a fisheye lens, but was later replaced by a number of concert photographs.[2] The songs "Ad Man" and the high-energy "I'm Gonna Live" both quickly became concert staples. In 2011, Rockin' Revival was added to the "CCM's 500 Best Albums of All Time" blog at No. 176.[3]
