This band isn't very well known. Though they do seem to be gaining in recognition. They're an American country band :-) okay, they're not really country, I only put that on to bug a friend if he ever looks here, which is unlikely. Their style could perhaps be likened to folk, but not really country. Anyway, they make good music. With excellent lyrics, very biblical. I only heard of the group myself because a friend of mine kept raving about how great they are (the same one that I'm trying to bug with the country comment, yes) and playing their songs and suddenly I realised that I wanted to buy their CDs, so clearly forcing people to listen to your music can work.

Bus Driver Soundbite

A fantastic Cd featuring the great song "Bus Driver". Warning, if you go round singing "I am a bus driver" you will have many people going "no, you're not" which might get annoying. Unless you are a bus driver of course, then you can sing it and people will go "Yes, we know." Anyway, some very good songs here. Nice. *jazz club voice*.

Only One Soundbite

This is the first album of theirs that I got, which might be why it's my favourite. Although I probably know the songs off the previous album better since one of my friends plays them all the time on his guitar. Anyway, I love this CD, it's really the lyrics that make it so amazing. The tunes are good, but the words are just so powerful, there's lines that make you think and ones that remind you of God's amazing love, it's great.

  2. Love is different
  3. Prepare Ye the way
  4. Prove me wrong
  5. Mistake of my life

I don't like this album as much as the other two that I have. Not sure why, it could just be because I haven't listened to it as much. It's still a very good album.

This is my least favourite Caedmon's Call album. However, it's also the one that I have least exposure too. In fact today is the first time that I've listened to the whole album as I've just borrowed it. I still think it's very good, but it does need a bit more time to grow on me. I'm still going to give it 4 stars though, 'cos it's good. I've decided to add lyrics for some albums, I've done the ones for this one, here they are: Lyrics
