    It's hard to believe Caedmon's Call has been around for a decade, first making music on the college circuit and then on the Christian circuit. That being the band's history, it should come as no surprise that they are releasing a "Best of" collection. However, unlike most bands of Caedmon's stature, they were not content to rest on their laurels. This set includes two new studio recordings ("All My Life" and "A New Day") and live versions of Caedmon's Call favorites such as "Hope To Carry On," "Faith My Eyes," "Lead of Love" and "This World." My favorite is a new recording of "Bus Driver," with a contribution from former band member Derek Webb.

    Chronicles will appeal to all Caedmon's Call fans. If you are new to Caedmon's Call, this will serve as a fine introduction.
