Caedmon's Call on cutting edge

Review by Brian Mansfield

"We like to see ourselves as a band full of Christians. We don't really believe in a split between Christian and mainstream music. I think there are Christians and non-Christians and the music they write reflects the kind of people they are. At the same time, there are some artists today who like to say that so they can say what they do isn't a ministry. Our view is that our lives are our ministry. Our hope and prayer is that the stage is just an extension of our lives."
-- Cliff Young, vocalist and guitarist
