You and me, we send postcards to friends if we travel abroad. Caedmon's Call records a new CD. Either way, the effect is still the same. The people, places, and atmosphere of their experience as they traveled to India and Ecuador is captured in essence on Share The Well. Fortunately, the band shares plenty of self enlightenment not self righteousness on tracks like "Mother India" and "The Roses" as they reflect on third world conditions and how all of us struggle to find God in the mix.

You and me, we send postcards to friends if we travel abroad. Caedmon's Call records a new CD. Either way, the effect is still the same. The people, places, and atmosphere of their experience as they traveled to India and Ecuador is captured in essence on Share The Well. Fortunately, the band shares plenty of self enlightenment not self righteousness on tracks like "Mother India" and "The Roses" as they reflect on third world conditions and how all of us struggle to find God in the mix. In addition, contributor and band friend Randall Goodgame helps pen some of the release's best songs on the title track, "There's Only One (Holy One)," and "All I Need (I Didn't Catch Her Name)." Other notable highlights include several delightful world-music tracks like "Volcano Land" and the haunting "The Innocent's Corner," both written by the talented Joshua Moore. And given the band's noted penchant for multiple instrumentation, it's not much of a stylistic stretch. Danielle Young also takes a welcome lead on some of the release's finest moments with the aforementioned "Mother India" and on "The Innocent's Corner." Clearly this trip had a profound effect on the band as we see more lyrical depth than ever before. While Share The Well may not generate the usual radio interest, longtime fans and curiosity seekers will benefit and enjoy this postcard from abroad. --Michael Lyttle
