SQUACKETT - that was a project by Chris Squire and Steve Hackett and they released one album in 2012: A Life Within A Day. The album will be re-issued by CherryRed on CD/Blu-ray on 31 May 2024.
The two musicians met when Squire was working on a solo album and needed some guitar parts. Chris was put in touch with Steve and through these sessions the idea for Squackett was born. Over four years in the making, the album A Life Within a Day was very much more than the sum of its parts. “It was very much about a bunch of pals swapping notes and anecdotes,” Hackett later recalled.
Chris Squire would later remark; “The album has a flavour to it that is reminiscent of a few things from different artists. There is some clever Prog Rock stuff, some jazzy bits, but there are parts that have vocal harmonies like Crosby, Stills And Nash.”
