Critically acclaimed Christian singer/songwriter Derek Webb returns December 26th with his third recording with INO Records, Mockingbird.

The title of the album was inspired by the mockingbird’s unique ability to learn and mimic songs from other birds. Webb shares, “I hope to be the same way, imitating the songs of Jesus and others about how to love not only our neighbors, but also our enemies.”

In the new project, Webb sings songs about controversial issues - regarding social justice, poverty, war and politics - which are said to be “easy on the ears yet pull at the heart and mind with introspective, yet provocative, lyrics.”

“I’m not trying to push buttons or make people upset. I’m just trying to be as honest as I can. Even if people don’t agree, I hope they’ll listen. I just want to get the dialogue started,” Webb shares.

“I think Derek has delivered his best record to date,” states Jeff Moseley, President, INO Records. “I am a huge fan of the way he challenges our suppositions and makes us take a new look at the cultural trappings of Christianity. Mockingbird is a watershed recording that will raise eyebrows and evoke passionate conversation. I am proud to work with an artist that does not shy away from examining the ‘sacred cows’ through the lens of Jesus’ teachings.”

Webb is currently on the road with wife and fellow artist Sandra McCracken and friend John Davis (formerly of Superdrag) and already sharing a few of his new songs with the audience, already receiving much acclaim from concertgoers.

As of October 11th, fans are now able to take home the Derek Webb “live” experience with the release of his first-ever live DVD, How To Kill And Be Killed. The DVD features live concert footage and unique and extensive behind-the-scenes interviews.
