Derek Webb- The Ringing Bell
So old school Caedmon's Call fans might remember Derek Webb, he played guitar and sang backing & lead vocals most notably on My Calm//Your Storm, 40 Acres, and Long Line of Leavers. He left the band in 2003 to pursue a solo career that has seen him release 4 albums that touch on subjects such as politics, commerce, social justice, economy, and war.
Many Christian music stores refused to carry his music b/c, as we have come to know, Derek speaks the truth; something the American Christain Church doesn't like to hear nowadays.
His latest album. The Ringing Bell is a quick 35mins of 10 sing-along songs that range from blues, folk, pop, and out right rock n roll.
Webb's music is still politically themed to a fault; "you can always trust the devil or a politician to be the devil or a politician, cause we've never had a savior on Capital Hill," but man you cant help but sing along. Very fine album from a leader in the independent music scene.
Long time trusted music magazine Paste gave this album its highest possible 5star rating.
