Outreach-minded, folk/pop group Caedmon's Call continues to raise its voice for the voiceless as members, Cliff and Danielle Young engage national talk radio this week as the featured guests on Janet Parshall's Amercia, live Thursday, Nov. 18, 2:00 - 2:30 ET. The piece will focus on the band's recent Share The Well release which is the first album of its kind in Christian music, recorded with local musicians in remote areas of India, Ecuador and Brazil to initiate widespread awareness of the oppressive caste discrimination against India's 250 million "Dalits," considered less worthy than even the lowest class and referred to as the 'untouchables.' The album also serves as a critical reminder of the existing persecution and poverty in the three countries overall. Check http://www.jpamerica.com/ for local station affiliates. (Broadcasted in Nashville on WNKX-AM, Ch.1570 and nationwide on XM Radio Ch.170)

The project additionally ranked No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Album Chart. Caedmon's Call has launched six other national releases—40 Acres, Long Line of Leavers, In the Company of Angels, Back Home, Chronicles and now Share The Well. Among its accolades are an Album of the Year Dove Award, a Billboard Music Video Award nomination and seven No. 1 radio singles.
