Dream Too Much is Amy Lee's first children's album that was released exclusively through Amazon on September 30, 2016. The album is available digitally and on CD and was released under Amy's own label: Amy Lee Music.
Concept and recording
With inspiration from her two-year-old son Jack, the album started as a studio-time present to her father, a guitar player and one-time Gong Show champion, who always played music in the Lee home[1].
|
Dad has always been talking about making some kid songs for Jack to have later in life. [My husband suggested,] 'You guys should just do it, get in the studio together, you've never been in the studio together, you're both musicians.[1] | 
|
Lee and her father joined forces in Fort Worth, Texas, for a few sessions that promptly grew into a project that enveloped much of her family. Her dad played ukulele, dobro and banjo; Lee teamed with sisters Carrie and Lori for some Andrews Sisters–style harmonies; her uncle Tom plays guitar, bass and harmonica; and her son Jack even makes a cameo[1].

We've been saying, even if we're the only ones who ever heard it ... it was worth it because it means so much to us as a family and we love it. So, I'm very proud of it and it was very fulfilling to be able to do that together. ... I'm always looking for ways that I can expand myself creatively and this was a surprise. This kind of came out of a very random place and a very pure place. It was just for ourselves and it turned into something really beautiful.[1] |
