I gotta agree with you about be mostly disinterested in new
CCM these days (bought a total of 1 CD this entire year from my local
"Christian store"), but I have to come to defense for one of my favorite
bands. Caedmon's Call is really good stuff, and they are one of the most
sincere, hard-working bands out there today. Great guys
(and gal) and they've been putting out quality folk music long
before it became stylish in the CCM market.
Sorry, you got me riled up. :)

Bill rocks. At Cornerstone, he started up a conversation with
_me_ (caught me totally by surprise) because he noticed I had a Georgia Tech
shirt on and wondered if I was from around his neck of the woods.
