Average Rating: Rating: - the end of a legacy i must say that with the departure of derek webb from the band shortly after this records release, this is the last album from Caedmons Call as we know them. If you like P&W then this album definately hasnt departed from that, if you like caedmons though just look at back home as an overpriced sampler. Rating: - One of their best yet "Back Home", the fifth studio album from folk-rock group Caedmon's Call, finds a middle ground between the acoustic folk rock of their early years and the experimental pop of recent years (particularly their "Long Line of Leavers" CD), but tends to lean more toward their musical roots. The opening track, "Only Hope", features the familiar acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies, and worldly percussion that have established Caedmon's Call as one of the most unique sounding groups in Christian Music. Two others that feature these signature elements are "Hands of the Potter" and "Awake My Soul", two lively numbers, the latter of which has a bit of a zydeco feel to it. However, many of the tracks build on that signature sound to provide something totally enjoyable. Standouts include "You Created", with the trade off between male and female vocals of Cliff and Danielle Young; "The High Countries", which features Danielle's smooth voice against a mellow musical backdrop somewhat reminiscent of parts of U2's "The Joshua Tree" CD; and "The Kingdom", which combines majestic string arrangements with some Asian influences. Lyrically, the biggest change is in the songwriters: instead of relying solely on their usual songwriters, Aaron Tate and Derek Webb, they brought in a host of songwriters including band member Josh Moore, Webb's wife and independent artist Sandra McCracken, Randall Goodgame, Andrew Peterson, and others. Tate and Webb only contribute one song, "Beautiful Mystery", which they co-wrote with Cliff Young. Still, the quality of the lyrics remains the same: contemplative, introspective, and thought-provoking. Webb fans may also be disappointed to hear only two songs featuring his lead vocal ("Awake My Soul" and "The Emptiest Day"), but take heart: Webb's solo release comes out March 25. (This just in: word has it that Derek has left the band to pursue his solo career, so this may really be our last chance to hear him with Caedmon's Call.) Altogether, this CD is truly one of their best, and is sure to please both old-school fans and new fans alike. I highly recommend it! Rating: - One of the best from Caedmon's Call Back Home is a great CD. It is the best of Danielle Young and has excellent song writing from Sandra McCracken, Josh Moore, and Randall Goodgame. The sound is similar to their other CDs, but a bit different. It is a definate need for your Caedmon's Call collection.
