This is a tight, talented group of musicians that isn’t afraid to explore new territory while having a great grasp of where they really shine. FYI: The band’s fifth studio project, Back Home, features a slew of talented songwriters including the skills of Steve Hindalong, Marc Byrd, Randall Goodgame, Andrew Peterson, Sandra McCracken, Matthew Perryman Jones, Aaron Sensemen and Caedmon’s member Joshua Moore. There’s also one Cliff Young-Aaron Tate-Derek Webb collaboration. The Bottom Line: This latest release seems to signify a shift for Caedmon’s Call toward a more consistent focus on worship music, leaving behind some of the more quirky compositions like those found on Long Line of Leavers.

Worship leaders won’t find a wealth of choruses to bring into their corporate worship, but everyone will find a unique take on faith and an immensely enjoyable album.
