Confident after four No. 1 singles and a 1998 Dove Award for Modern/Alternative Album of the Year, Caedmon's Call are back with more coffeehouse rock and brilliant songwriting on 40 Acres. This seven-piece ensemble has made a name for itself, not only with chart success, but with its hook-laden acoustic pop and extensive college-circuit touring. The tightness shows with their smooth rhythms, layered guitars, and evocative vocals. The first single, "There You Go," is pleasant enough, but dig deeper with such thoughtful gems as "Faith My Eyes," "Somewhere North," and the moving "Table for Two." "Daring Daylight Escape" kicks up a country-rock storm from the Pure Prairie League/Poco vein. Songwriters Aaron Tate and Derek Webb are two of the brightest hopes in contemporary Christian music's future.

Best Album by Caedmon's Call| Posted January 14, 2008
I am about to see Derek Webb and Caedmon's Call together in concert next month and I have been listening to this album by Caedmon's Call from 1999 and it is totally brilliant, every song. From the opening catchy melody of "There You Go" and Derek Webb penned "Thankful", "Faith My Eyes" (my personal favorite), the moving "Table for Two" and then closing with "40 Acres", this album is timeless in its melody, lyrics and is the best album by Caedmon's Call, one of my favorite bands.

Near perfection!| Posted July 14, 2008
I have to agree with Kevin. If you're going to buy a Caedmon's Call CD, this is the place to start. "There You Go" is a great CD opener with a great message about the things that God does in our life. "Thankful" has to be one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard and has an important message of grace that all of us should never tire of hearing. I love the contrast between Cliff Young and Derek Webb. The former writes songs that are really accessible to radio, and the latter has some of the deepest lyrics out there. Although Danielle Young may not have one of the best voices in Christian music, she seems to shine on this CD, especially in "Shifting Sand." This is one of my favorite Christian music CDs of all time!
