Caedmon's Call was a folk-rock band that started playing college campuses in Texas in the mid-'90s, and were one of the biggest bands in Christian music by 2000. Released 15 years ago yesterday digitally for their fans via their site and later released on CD and for wider digital consumption, this is the tenth and last studio album of new songs from Caedmon's Call. It's not their best album, but it's one you may have missed if you weren't looking for it. Musically, the band is on point and sounds great. However, much of their success in their early days was songwriting from people no longer in the band by this time. Derek Webb is here talking about life, but those that provided more theologically-based writing are not. Some of the band members who had not written much before got a chance to write and it's interesting to hear them writing along with Derek and other friends of the band. These songs never caught my ear and got stuck there, but I'm not sure if that's because it's not notable or if I just haven't listened to this much. If you like some good acoustic folk-rock sounds, though, I think it's worth a listen.
