Derek Webb

I first came across Derek Webb as a senior in college, and didn’t really like his music.  That was over 5 years ago.  Now, I find myself going back to him over and over again.  His album, She Must And Shall Go Free, is one of my favorite.  It’s hard to pinpoint what it is that draws me to him.  Maybe it’s his brutal honesty or boldness in calling out the church for what she is.  Perhaps it’s his understanding of man’s depravity and the amazing love of a jealous husband for his bride.  Or maybe it’s the sacramentalism I hear in some of his songs.  Whatever it may be, he’s worth a listen if you can find him.
