Rock Ridge Music plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the album in Evans' name to Lyrics For Life (www.lyricsforlife.org), a charity founded by labelmates Sister Hazel that benefits children with cancer and their families

Says Capps about Evans: "Although I am having a hard time with all of this, I made a promise to Ean, and I intend to see it through. I have consulted with Ean's family, and we have all agreed that we should carry the torch that he ignited three years ago when we started this CD. One of his biggest dreams was to have this music heard. He was so proud when the project was finally signed and the record was going to get the distribution it so well deserved. I know in my heart of hearts that he is smiling down on us today, proud that our efforts will finally have a chance to be heard. He always said, 'This music will do the talking if we can just get people to hear it.'"

Prior to his passing, Evans said about the record: "A lot of time, energy, and the love of many friends went into this album. The music is new with a heavy edge and a deep meaning. It has been in our hearts for a long time and finally we can share it with the world. This journey has been a roller coaster, but the timing of everything is perfect. My hope is that everyone who hears this album will be moved to change something that is wrong into something that is right for the sake of all mankind."

"This CD is one of my greatest personal achievements," Capps says, "and it would not have been possible without one of the greatest musicians I've ever met, Ean Evans. He believed in me like no one else has. His guitar work on this CD rivals some of the best in the world. A few weeks ago he asked me to carry on. I will do everything in my power to keep his memory, spirit, and music alive. I will carry on for you, brother."
