Caleb Caudle Awakens Classic Country On 'Carolina Ghost'

Caleb Caudle
Justin Reich

North Carolina native Caleb Caudle has been on the road for almost ten years playing shows with everyone from Jason Isbell to Justin Townes Earle. 

Recently, he gave up alcohol and headed back to the Tar Heel State to record his newest collection Carolina Ghost.  There are hints of classic Merle Haggard and Graham Parsons, but Caleb makes it all his own on songs steeped in the Piedmont, hot summers, the smell of tobacco and driving down highways and back roads.

Carolina Ghost is out now.
