Acoustic Guitar Sessions Presents Caleb Caudle [VIDEO]
Raised just south of the Virginia/North Carolina border, singer-songwriter Caleb Caudle cut his teeth on the road, building his audience one mile at a time while sharing the stage with the likes of Jason Isbell, Dawes, Robert Ellis, Patterson Hood, Justin Townes Earle, Aaron Lee Tasjan, and John Moreland, among many others.

His last album, 2014’s Paint Another Layer on My Heart, drew critical praise from far and wide and landed Caudle on more than 40 year-end best-of lists. For his new album, Carolina Ghost, Caudle returned home to his native Piedmont North Carolina. “This record is all about making life changes,” says Caudle, who co-produced Carolina Ghost with longtime collaborator Jon Ashley (Avett Brothers, Dawes, Band of Horses). “I kicked booze about a year and a half ago and moved back to North Carolina and fell in love. So it all feels like a new start, really.”
Gibson J-35 in tow, Caudle visited the Acoustic Guitar Sessions studio to perform the tender ballads “Carolina Ghost,” “Red Bank Road,” and “White Dove’s Wing,” inspired by Guy Clark’s cinematic songcraft.
