Forsythia is a collection of 10 songs that form a manifesto of Caudle’s life philosophy. It’s calming, reconnecting and soothing and moves at a natural, unhurried pace. “I Don’t Fit In” and “Red Bank Road” provide biographical context, while songs like “Crazy Wayne” and “Tears of Savannah” step into the shoes of off-kilter characters. “The Gates,” co-written with John Carter Cash, is a foreboding folk ballad exemplary of Caudle’s ability to evoke the past with a modern touch of polish. “Shattered Glass” and “Through My Hands” emotionally process bad circumstances, dark tendencies and negative habits. The album’s title track does what all the best country songs do– describes a specific moment vividly, accessibly and with the slightest touch of melancholy. “Bright as a forsythia bush in bloom / when the light’s right / early April / late afternoon,” Caudle sings. The album finds beauty in simpler times and, though it explores a lifetime of lessons, maintains a childlike sense of hope and contentment with life as it is.
