Engineers: Steve Bishir, Glenn Rosenstein, Mike Purcell. Recorded at The Castle, Franklin, Tennessee. Caedmon's Call is another outfit inspired by the late 1990s "No Depression" school of bands. These groups draw upon the rich musical past of America: folk, pre-"Nashville Sound" country, earthy rock bands like The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Flying Burrito Brothers, sidestepping mainstream rock, country and pop. Caedmon's Call lean more towards the folk/singer-songwriter side--acoustic guitars are in the forefront, keyboards provide shading and electric guitars and drums provide punch. The vocals (both male & female) have a warm, plaintive quality, and it's likely that these folks have Band, Jerry Jeff Walker and Pure Prairie League albums in their collections. 40 ACRES has a very nice homey feel to it, almost like the group has plopped down in your living room to tell stories. This album is something nice to do for yourself after a hard day, especially if you like the aforementioned groups and early Shawn Colvin (whose "Climb On" they cover--and very nicely, at that).
