Acoustic-pop group Caedmon's Call has traveled a path that to many seems unusual, guiding them from their roots of performing and leading worship in their home church in Houston, to follow a passionate desire to reach college students on mainstream campuses as an independent group. The road turned when Caedmon's assumed a larger platfrom through a national record deal, and has continued to twist in ways that have amassed the band more than one million career record sales, six #1 radio singles, ten Dove Award nominations and coverage in major media outlets around the world.
In 2001, the group came full circle with the release of the self- produced, Dove-nominated, In The Company of Angels - A Call to Worship. With their latest studio project, Back Home, Caedmon's Call again trusts their own production instincts to capture the signature harmonies and driving guitars that have made the group one of the most recognizable in music today. As they journey Back Home, Caedmon's Call invites listeners to link arms as they follow God's direction along a way that is both familiar and uncharted.

This album is incredible from every angle. Never before have I found myself simply walking the block in the late night hours totally immersed in music from people that are so obviously connected with the Holy Spirit. From the music, to the vocals, the instrumentation and the lyrics, this album puts a smile on your face and evokes a desire to know God more. It its' purest form, Back Home is a worship album. "You Created" says "You've created nothing / That gives me more pleasure than You," which reminds us that nothing on this world can satisfy us like the love of God. "Walk With Me," (beautifully sung by Danielle Young), says "My cup overflows / You restore my soul" and highlights the promise that God can take our broken lives and make them new again. "The Emptiest Day" says "When you wrap your arms around me / I can walk away or face the emptiest day" retells the truth that with God, anything is possible. None of this is terribly profound, but they are simple reminders that we tend to forget. Sometimes we make God so complicated, we fail to revel in His simplicity. I'm betting that there are more fans of great music who have yet to pick up a Caedmon's Call album, just like myself. To those, I challenge you to pick up Back Home (since fans of Caedmon's will already love this album). I promise you will be encouraged, enlightened and this album will help break any chains that are holding you down.

What I like most about this album is that doctrine is evident in the songs. In "My Only Hope" I like how they show that before Christ we were enemies of God, and even so God still gave us His Son. I absolutely love the beginning of "You Created" There is no one like our God. Not even the angels are like our God. This song reminds me of a question Paul Washer asked during one of his sermons; asking who is more like God, an angel or the bacteria in your toilet? The answer is neither. This song reminds us that our greatest pleasure is in God Himself. The greatest gift He can give us, is Himself.
What I love most about the song "Mystery of Mercy" is the lyrics "My God, my God, why has thou accepted me?" which reminds me immediately of Christ calling out to His Father "My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?" This song shows the great unconditional love of our Father
