Crack The Sky "Raw" is the 1986 LP from the band. This LP is a huge disappointment, in terms of this album vs. the original Crack The Sky.The original Crack The Sky were John Palumbo (keyboards/vocals), Rick Witkowski (guitar), Joe Macre (bass), Joey D'Amico (drums) and JIm Griffiths (guitar)hailing from Weirton, WV. "Raw" is basically a John Palumbo solo outing, with musician Jamie LaRitz playing lead guitar. All other of the musical parts were played by Palumbo, which makes this nothing at all close to the original band's music. Palumbo still has some great, satirical songs like "White Girls On Fire" and "Elvis Was My Daddy" here and most of the songs are good! Unfortunately, the songs are 'dated' by rhythm machine drums and heavily reverbed bass. Maybe this is just a bunch of demos intended to be incorporated by the original band. Whatever the case, if you are a fan of the original Crack The Sky, please stay away from this LP.
