Larry Worley (ex Fear Not)

I had no idea that he did vocals for a couple of Liberty n’ Justice releases.

As well as on the Robert Sweet - Love Trash album.

and LoveLife

Larry...oh Larry I miss you dude. I don't know if you will ever see this but I miss you. Your ability to write a song in a few minutes or overnight at least and they were complete with intro, riffs, verse, chorus, lyrics and leads for that matter. Simply a super talented and blessed man! You had written multiple songs before I got to meet you then to top it all off you sang at my wedding in a Tuxedo. Too cool and a beautiful original song after the church PA system blasted a Stryper ballad that I had chosen (Honestly). Now I recently learned more and it became weird. You I think went to the same high school with the Sweet brothers. I think you told me that maybe I was dreaming. Then your family moved to Oklahoma where I met you. We started jamming and formed a band. Then your family moved back to Cali. Now I learn that you and Robert Sweet collaborated on an album. That completes the circle my brother and makes for a great story. I have got to get my hands on that album and will begin to seek it now. Hope all is cool and either way know that your old pseudo bass player appreciates all the time we had together. 

How many albums this Love Life did? Was it exactly the same band that Fear Not?

One that I know of.  It's the same band with one member change.  Guardian changed more between First Watch and Fire and Love without changing their name.

Though the Fear Not was better produced and sounding album, I seem to like more LoveLife. It´s a shame that this band vanishded. There certainly was skill, talent and good songwriting.

Yes.  The guitarist changed and they had Chris Howell that later went to Red Sea for the Fear Not album.

Ahh. Red Sea. Another great band that just vanished after their debut. There is too many of these, who could't keep it.

Larry has only done one full album with Liberty N Justice (so far), but has appeared on at least 2, if not 3...

Red Sea was doomed before they got started.  They went way over budget on recording and were in the studio for nearly a year.  Then, Greg Chaisson left as bass player and they got some new guy who played the ONE show they did in Nashville before the group fell apart due to various reasons.  I met Chris Howell a few years after the band split, and that was his story.

Which ones?  L'n'J is a hit-or-miss project for me but I would give anything with him a chance.

Actually, Larry sang on the last two LNJ EPs, "Life Songs" and "Better Than Maroon 5".

Wonder if Love Life will get a proper remaster or release.

Man, that will be a hard one to do.  It is rather muddy sounding as it is, and taking the mastering up today's standards would be tough.  I'd like to hear it done, though.

Perhaps I will give it a whirl myself!

I always thought Larry's voice was awesome!

I have both the Love Life and Fear Not original pressings on Blond Vinyl and Pakaderm on CD. Between the 2 albums, I think they should of remastered Love Life instead of Fear Not. I think the Love Life needs a remaster more than Fear Not. Bill Bafford or Scott Waters mentioned in a video that Love Life will be remastered within the next year or so.

I agree and if true that is good news.  My guess is that since the Fear Not album is better it needed to be reissued more urgently than Love Life.  Remastering (and vinyl pressings) seems to be standard practice when anything is reissued.
