Caleb Caudle & the Sweet Critters

Just as the marbled salamanders emerge from under damp logs and leaves, the
mushrooms—smooth, pearlescent ones and spongy morels—turn on like night lights glowing in
the dark, and the long-horned beetles and regal moths begin buzzing. The fiddlehead ferns and
trout lilies curl inward, a copperhead slowly swerves, and a fox steps into the moonlight looking
for prey. It is here, in that restless middle of the night, under cover of darkness, where Caleb
Caudle’s sixth studio LP Sweet Critters is nestled.
Through sometimes shadowy arrangements that creep and lurk, Caudle continues to mine both
the brightest and murkiest corners of his imagination, finding that purest of points where
tenderness and grit collide, inspired by musical heroes like Buddy Miller and Guy Clark, and
mentors like Elizabeth Cook and John Paul White. It was White who Caudle tapped to produce
Sweet Critters, along with Ben Tanner, at the duo’s Florence, Alabama studio Sun Drop Sound.
“I was very excited to work with Caleb on this record. Iʼve been a fan for years and count him as
a friend,” White says of working with Caudle. “Heʼs a stellar songwriter, so I knew heʼd bring the
goods. And he did.” The album features Allison Russell, Aoife OʼDonovan, John Paul White, and
Caudleʼs own touring band.
These songs are a showcase of Caudle’s singular command of language. He sees the world
through a hyperreal lens wholly unique to him, one that renders dank humidity “horsefly heat,” a
moody sky “cast iron skillet” dark, or a loved one’s “wind chime of a smile.” For Caudle, details
are the last frontier in a world where thousands of new songs are created every day. As such,
he weaves his intricate tales of redemption, sacrifice, forgiveness, and loss with the colorful
threads of living, breathing characters and all the rich idiosyncrasies and ephemera that fill out
their worlds.
Caudle and his band have played Stagecoach, Cayamo, Luck Reunion, Mountain Stage,
Merlefest, Americanafest, The Long Road (UK), AMAUK (UK), and recently supported Marty
Stuart, Steve Earle, Hayes Carll, Elizabeth Cook, Brent Cobb, Charles Wesley Godwin, Ray
Wylie Hubbard, and many more.
