Crack The Sky Bassist Joe Macre releases “The Dream Is Free” Album
Having worked with some of the biggest names in American rock music, Joe
Macre has now announced the release of his new album “The Dream is Free” and
standalone single, “I Need You.”
Best known as the original bassist for the progressive rock band Crack
The Sky, Joe Macre has announced the release of his sophomore solo
album, “The Dream is Free.” In contrast to the star-studded lineup
featured on his first solo release, “The Dream is Free” spotlights Macre
on all instruments and vocals. Guesting on the album are fellow Crack
The Sky member, Rick Witkowski, Al Macre on keys, and solos by Chris
Elliot.
Joe Macre says, “The Dream Is Free’ album is a reflection on my life
experiences as a musician. ‘The Dream Is Free’ BUT the pain’s sold
separately. It takes some talent to get in, but there are consequences
if you have no idea of the BUSINESS of music. So, I guess it’s loosely a
concept album, but also a collection that was written during the covid
times.”
“The Dream Is Free” album and “I Need You” were recorded at Macre’s Joe
Mac’s American Garage
Studios.
