"Musically, the album finds Caudle directing things slightly away from the traditional country sounds he's favored in the past. In its' place are more multi-faceted sounds that span a variety of styles and arrangements. The unfussy melodies are still a bit twangy but come across a bit softer around the edges and more soulful than some of his previous recordings have allowed. The musicianship is all first rate and befitting of the all-star cast he's assembled. Joshua Hedley's fiddle, Megan McCormick's electric guitar, and Brett Resnick's pedal steel don't overtake the songs, but rather subtly glide them to sweepingly inventive heights. There are also lush touches of cello and jazzy keyboard chords flowing in and out of the album tracks, adding even more of a rich sonic palette to the album tracks."

"

It is his clear-eyed focus on day-to-day life that gives Caudle’s songs their considerable, yet quiet, power. This is the world we know, the world we face each day, the life we lead often without realizing the significance in each moment. That Caudle is able to capture that for us is a gift that we can draw upon to help us properly measure our days.

Caudle’s life has been full of big moments in the last year or two. The loss of family members, combined with his marriage last year gives his songwriting a resonance that stays with the listener after the album’s last song fades.

The album’s charms are subtle and sneak up on the listener rather than bulrush them. Caudle’s masterful handling of ordinary details creates a portrait of real life, honest, without saccharine sentiment. It is a portrait that accepts life on its own terms. And Caudle the songwriter does not pretend to have the answers. There is no condescension, no preaching. Because of this there is no distance, no gulf to be bridged between the listener and the artist.

Caudle’s naturally warm voice connects and pulls us in to his world. The musical landscape is at times stark, at times dreamy, at times haunting. On Crushed Coins the living walk side by side with the ghosts of our loved ones, hidden only slightly by a very thin veil. Crushed Coins takes its time revealing itself as a quiet classic, don’t miss it.

"Co-produced with Jon Ashley, known for his work with acts like Hiss Golden Messenger and the War on Drugs, Crushed Coins is a sonic tour de force, with cinematic arrangements and personal, narrative lyrics that show Caudle to be a worthy new voice in a long tradition of musical storytelling.
