Now it can be told…

Christian folk-rock band Caedmon’s Call announced today that former member Derek Webb has rejoined the band for its upcoming album Overdressed (due out in August). Webb will tour with the band as well in promotion for that tour.

You can pre-order Overdressed at www.caedmonscall.com on June 15 and get two extra tracks. Andy Osenga tells us the album is “vocal heavy,” and with four powerful singers in the lineup now (Derek, Cliff, Andy, and Danielle).

Here is a sort of quick-and-dirty FAQ from my friend Geof at caedmonscall.net:

1. What does this do to Derek’s solo career? Nothing. Oh, sure, he’ll have to carve out time in his schedule to tour with Caedmon’s, but in case you haven’t noticed, they don’t exactly tour 100 dates a year anymore. [That sound that you just heard was Jeff Holland swearing at me for making that public. It’s not ready for prime time, folks. ;)] Anyhow, Derek will still have his own career and do all his Derek-y things. But yes, he’ll tour Overdressed with the band
2. Is Andy out of the band? Nope. [And why would he be?] In fact, we think it’ll be interesting having two rebellious guys who like to play the electric guitar on stage at once.
3. How are they going to make four vocalists work? We’re sure that they’ll figure it out. Remember, Andy promised us that this record was going to be far more vocals-heavy.
