derek webb – one zero

DWebb is at it again. The bold musician that brings articulation and authenticity to the table released two new albums yesterday. One Zero[acoustic] and One Zero[remix]. Niether of the albums feature new songs, just 10 new renditions of his recent tunes. [acoustic] was recorded in September last year in Derek’s home studio and features new acoustic reinterpritations of his most vulnerable songs. In [remix] he recorded the same 10 songs in a full studio with remix engineer and computer whiz Will Hunt. Will is known for his work with Charlie Hall, Passion, Rebecca St. James, Watermark and most recently Shane & Shane, not to mention his own group, Apt.Core.

If either of these albums are anything like his other work, then be ready for greatness. Derek’s raw vocals and sheer devotion to the Gospel are so provoking. I love him.

“Rich Young Ruler”

Poverty is so hard to see / when it’s only on your TV / or 20 miles across town / Where we’re all living so good / and we’ve moved out of Jesus’ neighborhood / where He’s hungry and not feeling so good / from going through our trash
