Caedmon's Call is an American Christian folk-pop band that formed in 1993, originating from Houston, Texas. Named after the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon poet, Caedmon, the group has been known for its thoughtful lyrics and blend of acoustic and folk influences merged with contemporary Christian music. The band's lineup has seen various changes over the years, but the core group has often included Cliff Young (vocals and guitar), Danielle Young (vocals), and a collection of other musicians who round out their distinctive sound. Throughout its career, Caedmon's Call has been characterized by its deep theological themes and narratives of faith, community, and social justice.
The band's self-titled album, "Caedmon's Call," released in 1997, brought them to the attention of a wider audience, setting a strong foundation for a successful career in the Christian music scene. With subsequent releases like "In The Company of Angels II - The World Will Sing" (2006) and "Overdressed" (2007), the group continued to solidify their presence as a major act in contemporary Christian music. Caedmon’s Call has never been one to shy away from addressing complex and diverse issues, as showcased in their 2004 album "Share The Well," which was inspired by band members' experiences during mission trips and highlighted global poverty and hope. Over the years, the band has consistently offered their fan base a rich tapestry of albums, including "Back Home" (2003) and the compilation "Chronicles 1992-2004," summarizing a significant part of their early musical journey. Their dedication to their craft and thought-provoking lyrics have earned them a dedicated following along with a reputable position within the Christian music genre.
