Free the Dalit

Wow.

Just … wow.

Caedmon’s Call’s new album, Share The Well, is going to just absolutely rock. Cliff—one of the vocalists, and de facto head of the band—got my boy Bryan some more cuts from the album the other day. The Dalit freedom song is just … haunting. There’s my boy Cliff, a short and skinny white boy from Texas, singing a Dalit freedom song in both English and the vernacular [Hindi? I'm not sure] with a group of Dalits.

I was listening to this on my lunch break, and I just started crying uncontrollably.

Powerful. I want to find a way to tell this to the band, but for once, I’m left without words to express what I’m thinking.

    I think you also like teasing us :P

    Dude, the torture is unbelievable. But I will say that I’m happy that you’re crying uncontrollably instead of gnashing your teeth. I’m thinking that this will be a release date pick-up for me.

  3. Geof F. Morris:

    Guilty as charged.

    I can confirm that the upcoming album is AWESOME! You won’t be disappointed. It’s entertaining, enlightening, and encouraging. CC’s message on this release will only be lost on those unwilling to hear it.
