Justin Murr, leader of the rock band LIBERTY N’ JUSTICE, has issued the following update:
“This summer I was in the process of recording a ‘new’ LIBERTY N’ JUSTICE double CD (14 covers and 12 originals) where 23 of the 26 songs are recorded and more than half are done with some very cool guest artists. I went into this album wanting to create just a fun rock n’ roll record, not trying to record ‘Light It Up 2’ but just a heavy, groove-guitar, fun-spirited record and I think every one involved has done a great job seeing my vision through…
“During this summer, though, I (sorta) put that record on hold when my 12-year-old daughter had some health issues. She was diagnosed with epilepsy five years ago and five months ago the medication would not control her seizures any more. She started having 30-40 seizures a night and was placed in the hospital and eventually moved into the ICU. Trinity Paige (my daughter) was placed into a medically induced coma and when that did not work they did brain surgery where they removed a large portion of her right frontal lobe. Through God’s amazing grace and a testament of his love past my failing faith, Paige two weeks later is showing no signs of seizure activity and has started going to school for half days.
“Being a songwriter/ musician during these times I emptied my feelings on paper with what was going on with her, my marriage,and me. With Vic Rivera‘s talent and direction we recorded a five-song EP that we are releasing to benefit The Epilepsy Foundation and all the artists involved have donated there time and talent to see my dream through.”
A song from the forthcoming EP, entitled “Chasing A Cure”, is available for streaming in the YouTube clip below.
LIBERTY N’ JUSTICE‘s ninth studio album and fifth “all-star” project, “Light It Up”, came out last year. The CD was produced by Vic Rivera, Mike Layne, C.J. Snare (who also pre-mastered the disc), and Stephen Chesney. The album featured guest appearances by members of GUNS N’ ROSES, WARRANT, L.A. GUNS, DOKKEN and TWISTED SISTER, among others.
