Lonely Soldier Boy II An Acoustic Album

* UPDATE- The Limited release of Lonely Soldier Boy II An acoustic Album has SOLD OUT.


Lonely Soldier Boy II - An Acoustic Album is finally available SOLD OUT at Michael's Official Website.


All songs are performed as a minimalist acoustic remix of songs from the Robotech television series and Robotech: The Movie (aka Untold Story), originally written and/or performed by Michael Bradley.

For those that have the previously-released, fully produced Lonely Soldier Boy CD (2007), you will notice the addition of "Saved by Science" and "The Future is Now" to LSB II. Both songs are from Robotech: The Movie that Steve Wittmack and Michael Bradley wrote. Although the songs were originally sung by female vocalist, Joanne Harris, Michael will be singing lead for the new versions on this acoustic CD.

Here is the song list:

• IN MY HEART
• LONELY SOLDIER BOY
• SAVED BY SCIENCE
• WE WILL WIN
• FLOWER OF LIFE
• THE FUTURE IS NOW
• LOOK UP! THE SKY IS FALLING
• WE WILL WIN II
• IT DON'T GET ANY BETTER
• UNDERGROUND
• LOOK UP! THE SKY IS FALLING (AGAIN)
• THE WAY TO LOVE

It's been one heck of journey getting this project completed. Michael writes in his Blog:

Well, it's finally done! Lonely Soldier Boy ll, an acoustic album is available for sale [Click HERE to order from the Store]. This album is definitely a labor of love...for the true fan of Robotech music. I've talked about this CD for so long now, that I'm not going to say too much about it.

Ross Leitner did a great job of engineering and co-producing this work with me. I appreciate his patience with this project. I had no idea it would be so difficult to make a record with so little instrumentation. It was actually much more difficult than my first, fully produced and arranged Robotech remake CD. There's an old saying that "less is more," but it seemed like every recording session became an exercise in futility...because some of these songs needed MORE than less (uh...I hope I'm making sense).

Anyway, there are a couple of tunes that have more complex arrangements than others, but it's all acoustic, so we met our goal. I added two songs from Robotech The Movie (Saved By Science and The Future Is Now) that I had written and produced (with Steve Wittmack) but did not sing in the original versions. They were originally sung by Joanne Harris. Those two, plus Flower of Life and Underground (which was originally a male/female duet) definitely made me feel more like Yellow than Lancer! :0) The high note in the middle of "Flower" was a bit of a test, as was the bridge in Underground. Probably the last time I'll sing songs originally meant to be sung by a girl! Although I WAS thinking about doing a remake of "Feel Like a Woman" by Shania Twain...but maybe I'll save that for my next project. :0)
