Album Intro：
Raising Up the Dead reaches beyond the band's folk roots and explores influences and genres that push the boundaries of a traditional Caedmon's Call project. Fans will be drawn in immediately by the acoustic driven 「Sometimes a Beggar」, which features the vocals of Cliff Young and the harmonies of Derek Webb. The Young that stands out on this particular album, however, is Danielle. Highlighted as the lead vocalist in 6 of the 12 songs, Danielle shines with particular luster on the album's finale', 「Free」, an epic that crescendo's beautifully into one of the bands most powerful songs to date.
The writing on this project is also unique. In the past, Caedmon's Call has used several notable songwriters, such as Aaron Tate, Randall Goodgame and Andrew Osenga. On Raising up The Dead, many of the band's current members add songwriting credits to their musical resume.
「This is our most collaborative project ever」, says Webb, who also produced the album. 「Everyone was involved in the writing process because we wanted to make a record that reflected the idea of community very strongly. It's a big theme on this project.」
