This is a great intro to Caedmon's Call, and contains two of my favorite songs by them. My two favorites are "April Showers", and "Hope to Carry On" (probably their most popular song). The other three songs are also outstanding, "Pieces of Glass" is a beautiful piece. The violin and female vocals are a great contrast on the CD too. This CD is enhanced, and can be used in the computer. It give you access to some sounds, images, and really cool videos of the band. I highly recomend this CD to people looking for a new Christian band, interested in Caedmon's Call, or Caedmon's Call Fans.

This CD by Caedomn's Call is a very Intellectual and beautifully written album. Caedmons call combines a folk acoustic rock sound with a variety of instraments. This CD is great as well as their others. Be warned - Their CDs are addictive. They won't leave your CD player very often. ("Center Aisle" happons to be my favorite Caedmons Call song and is one of their best songs when you find the meaning of it. Look at the lyrics packet that came with the CD. It will explain to you the meaning of this very powerful song.)

This is great! Super inside look, if you can't see them in a live concert! Geniune, thoughtful, and sharing group of talented Houston, Texas artists! They truly live what they believe!

This album is titled very accurately. It was not released as an album, per se. This was the labels side release to highlight, or show off the band. If you've heard some Caedmon's Call, and want to know more about them, this is the disc for you.

It is a short album (with only 5 tracks), but is an interactive cd, with information on the band members, some band history, and their music video for "Hope to Carry On", written by the late Rich Mullins (who actually makes an appearance in the video).

If you've never heard Caedmon's Call before, this album could be a great introduction to the band. If you're a fan, it's a must have for the collection.

This album truly allows the listener to see into Caedmon's Call -not only through the Enchanced CD option, but also because the lyrics are so honest. Although the CD doesn't really contain any loud songs, the collection on this album is consistent and true. I heard Intimate Portrait after I'd already come to love 40 Acres, and I think that's the way to do it...listen to the other Caedmon's works first and then come to Intimate Portrait. Your listening of the latter will benefit from a comprehensive sense of Caedmon's theology and context. Once you get to Intimate Portrait, you'll love it - "Bus Driver" is just plain fun; "April Showers" and "The Truth" dig deep; and "Hope To Carry On" really does carry on the Rich Mullins' legacy. Enjoy!

The CD is really awesome! I have never heard such honest, soul reaching lyrics with such a incredible sound! I highly recomend this modern, acositic, genuine group! Try it! They are AWESOME!

I thought this cd was fantastic. Though I miss some of the soft sounds from songs like April Showers and Truth from Caedmon's Call, I loved most of the songs.Even then "Just don't want coffee" and "center aisle" are good, just not their best. Their sound is wonderful and I enjoyed the variety of lead singers. I think their Christian beliefs shine through, but they appeal to anyone.

the one and only problem this album has is that it is too short. there are just not enough songs on this album.
