.. Part Ii |
| | Description: | In the latter part of 2022, Neal Morse dedicated his creative efforts to crafting a new Rock Opera, following the
successful release of "Jesus Christ-The Exorcist". The inspiration flowed, resulting in nearly 2 hours of music that
narrates the story of Joseph, known for his coat of many colours, through the lens of progressive rock, in a style
uniquely his own. Rather than presenting both parts simultaneously as a double album, Neal opted to release his
new ??opera?? in 2 separate volumes. He believed that the strength of both the music and the story warranted this
approach, as each album could independently stand as a testament to its intrinsic value.
"The Dreamer - Joseph: Part One" concluded with Joseph unjustly imprisoned. In "The Restoration - Joseph: Part
Two?, the biblical narrative unfolds, chronicling how Joseph's wisdom and intelligence led him to become the
viceroy of Egypt and the eventual reunion of his family. Once again, Neal Morse assumes the lead vocalist role,
while an impressive cast of guest artists; a.o. Ted Leonard (Spock??s Beard, Pattern Seeking Animals), Matt Smith
(Theocracy), Ross Jennings (Haken), Nick D??Virgilio (Genesis, Mr. Big, Tears For Fears, Spock??s Beard) and Jake
Livgren (Proto-Kaw, Kansas), join him in this second chapter. They collaborate with members of the Neal Morse
Band, such as Bill Hubauer, Gideon Klein, Mark Leniger, Sam Hunter and Eric Gillette, among others. Together,
they breathe life into this familiar tale through extraordinary music that promises to captivate progressive rock
enthusiasts once more.
As one of the most accomplished composers of our era, Neal Morse consistently delivers. The entire Rock Opera,
"Joseph", offers exceptional music that will enrapture both devoted fans of progressive music and melodic rock
aficionados alike. With its musical diversity, melodic interludes, harmonious vocals and remarkable songs, it
stands as a testament to his enduring talent. - .. PART II2024 release. The Dreamer - Joseph: Part One concluded with Joseph unjustly imprisoned.

Neal Morse is one of the key figures of modern progressive rock. He first gained wider recognition as co-founder and main songwriter of the band Spock's Beard, helping to revitalize the prog scene with complex yet accessible albums in the 1990s and early 2000s. After leaving the band to pursue a solo career, he developed a distinctive style that combines classic prog ambition with strong melodies and spiritual themes. Over the years he has released numerous acclaimed concept albums, often featuring top-tier musicians from the progressive world, and he has become known for his extensive live performances and elaborate studio productions. His work with The Neal Morse Band and various collaborative projects has solidified his reputation as a prolific, dependable creator of large-scale rock epics, and "The Restoration - Joseph Part II" fits squarely into this legacy of expansive, narrative-driven music.
