A Portrait of Caedmon's Call

"This album is titled very accurately. It was not released as an album, per se. This was the labels side release to highlight, or show off the band. If you've heard some Caedmon's Call, and want to know more about them, this is the disc for you.



It is a short album (with only 5 tracks), but is an interactive cd, with information on the band members, some band history, and their music video for "Hope to Carry On", written by the late Rich Mullins (who actually makes an appearance in the video).



If you've never heard Caedmon's Call before, this album could be a great introduction to the band. If you're a fan, it's a must have for the collection."

"This album truly allows the listener to see into Caedmon's Call -not only through the Enchanced CD option, but also because the lyrics are so honest. Although the CD doesn't really contain any loud songs, the collection on this album is consistent and true. I heard Intimate Portrait after I'd already come to love 40 Acres, and I think that's the way to do it...listen to the other Caedmon's works first and then come to Intimate Portrait. Your listening of the latter will benefit from a comprehensive sense of Caedmon's theology and context. Once you get to Intimate Portrait, you'll love it - "Bus Driver" is just plain fun; "April Showers" and "The Truth" dig deep; and "Hope To Carry On" really does carry on the Rich Mullins' legacy. Enjoy!"
