I'm reaching back a little for this one. Erika introduced me to Caedmon's Call in college, when we first started dating. They were slightly famous (at least in the Contemporary Christian Music), but I had never really listened to them much.
Their first major release (self-titled) played in my CD player constantly. I had the chance to see them three times while in college, and they put on an interesting concert. I like a lot of musicians on stage doing their thing.
Anyway, hope you enjoy. Caedmon's Call always reminds me of the simpler times in my faith when I was just beginning to learn what it meant to follow God. Now it's just working on living it out.
nice one. this band was incredible when derek webb was with them...he is an amazing songwriter and took this band from beeing a christian coffeehouse group to what they were for a while in the mid-to-late 90's. i'm not so much into them anymore. just another group of darlings for the CCM money machine. i truly believe that they lost a great thing in a songwriter when derek web set out on his own.
ReplyDeletein case you didn't know, i've never been lacking in opinions about music, especially christian music. it's a good thing you didn't post any audio adrenaline or something like that. *COUGH COUGH*third day sucks*COUGH COUGH*. =)
Yeah, I think the songwriting is what makes them great.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, if I start posting any Third Day or Audio A, you'll know I ran out of ideas.
How cool! I didn't think anyone else had ever heard of Caedmon's Call. A good friend in college went to high school with them (Second Baptist in Houston) and she always dragged me to coffee houses to see them when they played near A&M.
ReplyDeleteThey really are good, and it's nice to see they have developed a big following.
