Proceeds from the album will go to fund the legal costs of the imprisoned killers known as The West Memphis Three, whose conviction is believed by many to be unsound. An earlier album, ‘Free The West Memphis 3: A Benefit for Truth & Justice’, was released in 2000, featuring artists such as Tom Waits, Joe Strummer and Rocket From The Crypt.
