About
Andrew Webb doesn't shy away from depth, despite his choice of what has too often become a clichéd format. Webb is a singer-songwriter who stays true to the form of that genre while drawing inspiration from a diverse field of fellow artists. Perhaps this is what makes his music so appealing--his constant striving for creativity in an arena that is so often over-run by the same artists pursuing the same verse-chorus-verse-bridge formula. Webb writes "from the hip"--his lyrics are direct and plain, rarely exploring the more abstract, this despite his overwhelming concern with the problems and perplexities of Christian spirituality. And yet, despite this (or perhaps because of it) the truth of his well-chosen words search out the heart of the listener and urges her to action. And there is no doubt that Webb's music has centered, and will most likely continue to center, on the sayings and acts of Jesus. Often these four minute folk tunes are simple retellings of the teachings and actions of Christ, albeit approached from a decidedly existential angle. For Webb, it is not enough to simply hear the stories of Jesus; to comment on these would be almost counter-productive. Webb enters into the stories, exploring them from various character's perspectives. Consequently, the listener is invited to do the same. What results is a confrontation with the man Christ himself and the listener is assured: he will not leave the same as he came.

I was listening to Tyler and Sufjan last week, and the Acrobatic Lullaby cover went really well next to the Seven Swans cover on my lastfm page. You drew it right? It's very nice.
