Derek Webb is truly a Revolutionary

i just continue to be amazed by the work of derek webb. from leaving the comfort of his successful contemporary christian music band (caedmon’s call) to venture out on his own, to constantly speaking his mind regardless of the flack he was sure to receive from the christian community, to giving away his album mockingbird for free over the internet (yes, he did it long before radiohead, and he didn’t even ask for a penny), he never seems to stop finding ways to challenge himself and to challenge his audience. if you have never listened to any of webb’s music, either from his solo career or his work with caedmon’s you are are really missing out. and because of derek’s constant drive to challenge the way things are, you can now download his newest album for free at noisetrade.com, the new web-site that webb just started where you can either download the album for free with the stipulation of sending a message to three friends letting them know about the album, or you can pay what you want. personally, i think this is brilliant. they only have 11 albums available right now. but i think it is only going to get bigger and that it is the beginning of a trend to come. so check out derek webb and go to noise trade and let me know what you think.
