Derek Webb gained considerable notoriety for giving away Mockingbird a couple years ago. Now he's playing a reprise of that theme by making The Ringing Bell (2007) available via NoiseTrade, another new-mode approach to music distribution.

At the NoiseTrade site you can pay whatever you want for The Ringing Bell, or download his album without charge by referring three friends. The upshot: Another avenue to free Derek Webb music. A handful of other musicians (including Derek's wife, Sandra McCracken) are featured as well. It'll be interesting to see if NoiseTrade catches on and others come on board.
