Emily and I have been enjoying this album over the past few days- turned up loud in the car, driving around in the sun like spotty kids in lowered hatchbacks. I suspect it is not a good look in a people carrier, but the music is great-
It is not my usual sort of listening- but I really like this blokes thinking- there is an edgy, restless, even angry edge to it that I have loved since I first heard Mockingbird. It is thoughtful protest singing by a man with intelligence and individuality…
Here is a track from Stockholm Syndrome-
He seems to have done some stuff with Sandra McCracken too- which looks promising…
I would never have discovered this album but for reading this post and I think it’s great, especially the ‘Stockholm syndrome’ track. At the moment I’m playing Zero 7 ‘When it falls’ album, I like them as they are soul boys, same age as me who I’ve read that they went through the same musical journey as me. And also, as with the Derek Webb, it’s refreshing to see people really into the music and not themselves pouting and posturing.
Glad you like it! I’ll have to check our Zero 7- not heard of them- and neither has my daughter, who has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of music… great to discover new sounds.
