THE CALL (formed in Santa Cruz, CA in 1980)
Michael Been, Scott Musick, Tom Ferrier & Jim Goodwin. Who are THE CALL?

Possibly the most underrated band in the history of music. Adjectives that one often hears when describing THE CALL include "powerful", "moving", "indispensable", "emotional", "passionate", "spiritual", the list goes on. One thing is certain, they deserved a better fate than the one dealt to them. This band is a great combination of musicians that crafted excellent tunes. This page is dedicated to fans of real music and will continue as a lasting tribute to the band THE CALL.

Jim Goodwin wanted to share his message below:

"As a professional musician, it's always uplifting to have a superstar cover one of your songs. Such was the case when fans sent us a video of Todd Rundgren playing 'The Walls Came Down' in his live show a few years back. When we decided to re-record the song, we naturally reached out to Todd to see if he would honor Michael Been by recreating the lead vocal. It all came together after we recorded the track in Arizona, sent it to Todd in Hawaii, and both camps did final mixes.

Todd's mix is an homage to the original recording, while the band's mix is more like our live sound. We think Todd crushed the lead vocal on any and all mixes. Now, you can be the judge by listening to the new single - 'The Walls Came Down' 2026. Todd Rundgren is an extremely cool and talented dude. Somewhere, Michael Been is smiling." - Jim Goodwin
