On his first full-length album, 'Derica' reinvents folk and blues like only a lonely raspy-voiced twentysomething crossdressing guitar hero from Cle-burgh could possibly do. With rust in his veins and whiskey in his voice, Derek DePrator sings you his own personal tales of love, anguish, adventure and redemption on his second full-length album release, MEDICATE. Derek, or Derica, or just plain "D”? He doesn't care what you call him as long as you're polite, or at least interesting. D is a child of the new millennium; a boi who speaks softly and wears a demure dress, yet plays the blues like the great great grandson of Robert Johnson and that devil woman he met at the crossroads blasting Wolfman Jack on her car radio. Have no fear; Derek is kind enough not to steal your soul. But he might well steal your breath away with his impressive mastery of folk and blues guitar techniques.
