His low gear solo jut, She Must and Shall Go Free, released that same year, demonstrated Webb's refreshingly maverick and uncompromising approach to Christian music, and the album john Drew a circumstances of critical care, both pro and yard bird. A sophomore cause, I See Things Upside Down, followed in 2004, along with a bouncy album, The House Show. The impressive Mocker surfaced in 2005, along with the concert DVD How to Kill and Be Killed.
