Album Of The Day: The Ringing Bell by Derek Webb

Album Art of Derek Webb's The Ringing Bell album - A rough black-and-white sketch of two clean-shaven white men in black suits shaking hands. Above their handshake, the artist's name is scribbled in red. Below their handshake, the album title is scribbled as well in red.

Released on this day 18 years ago, this is the fourth solo album from Derek Webb, who also is a member of the folk/rock super-group Caedmon's Call. I like this because it's a short but fun rock album. Maybe I like Derek because he's a bit of a rebel, but I find it a bit fun and honest to question our politicians and our human leaders. But I'm also a sucker for some guitar and piano-based rock, and this album delivers that in spades. I loved seeing Derek and his wife at that time, Sandra McCracken, at my local live music venue shortly after this album came out on tour. It was like my tribe came to my town and put on a rock show just for me, though there were others there too.
