This album is planned to be released around first quarter of 2014.

Limited Edition is mostly available to reviewers

[Glen]

The main release album will only feature 11 songs

[heaven&hell]

You do you get the other four tracks? Download only?

[Glen]

Not available - they will only be on the limited edition which will be supplied to the people who contributed up front to the album funding.

My favorite ones are in the regular cd version. Not that I don't like the others, but I could live happily even knowing that they exist only in understanding. "Tell me Lies" is probably my best track since Driver released "change of heart" with Rob Rock on vocals.

I heard the song "My Revolution" and it has been stuck in my head today.

Johnny wrote on facebook that the first 10 songs are in for sure. Here's the quote: " I guess I should have been more clear in the original post. The first 10 songs are definitely going on the official release (including FILL YOU UP as we're performing that live). Just not sure what the 11th song should be."

[Glen]

He should probably make it the first 11, but I do love the last 2 tracks as well. Glad my cd will include them all :-)

From AOR Heaven's newsletter:

 

"...the cracking new JOHNNY LIMA CD, which is only available at this format (4 bonus tracks) through his crowd funding campaign and through us (limited to 500 copies worldwide) – we do expect the CD by end of the upcoming week)."

 

"Johnny Lima’s last album “Livin’ Out Loud” was a true winner, but his new effort “My Revolution” is a monster! The US-rocker improved his songwriting and so it comes that he delivers a true arsenal of songs that you vainly wished for on BON JOVI’s last album “What About Now”: “Happily Ever After You”, “You’re The Drug I Wanna Get High On”, “Blame It On Love”, “I Can’t Love You Anymore” and and and… We have the album’s limited 15-track edition in stock that was actually limited to the supporters of Johnny Lima’s crowd funding campaign. So go, get it! M. SPÄTH"

[Glen]

Its awesome, I love this album.

[Nightrain]

Just been in contact with Johnny and he claimed this album will be released on Mar 1st

[melodicrockoz]

looking forward to getting the crowd funded version opf the album, 15 songs is generous

[Glen]

See no label is prepared to carry the main release.

 

Utterly shocking that an album this good gets rejected after some of the garbage I sat through on spotify last year.

 

It will be released digitally instead.

 

On a happier note my limited edition cd turned up today :-))))

[Nightrain]

His previous album was released independently so after calculating all the cost, looks like it's not profitable to launch a CD anymore, especially with the rising cost of shipment. It's too bad, I guess labels like Frontiers can just help him release the album, but maybe the profit sharing isn't good at all

[Glen]

Frontiers too busy apparently.

You can still get the limited cd with 15 tracks from Johnny's store (what I've just done!). Pricey, for Europeans, but it just kills me! I really hope that I'll be able to spin it in my car cd player without causing havoc in the suburbs.

It's another Johnny Lima album for sure. Great production (with that signature Johnny Lima sound), very well-written songs, etc. However, I will say that it's a surprisingly melancholy album. Is that just my take on it?

[Geoff]

"It's another Johnny Lima album for sure."

 

I can't quote on this computer (love it!) but that above line is as true as it gets. It is another Lima album, which to me means it's solid, has a couple of stand out tunes, but for the majority it's still 2nd rate stuff. To me, Lima will always be a 75% max artist, which is good stuff. A couple of tunes I gave an 8/10, but for me, he's just that mid range artist which the genre is currently over-saturated with.

Just purchased mine,thanx for the info £19 aint too bad postage and all inc

[Glen]

For the record I completely disagree with Geoff - I loved his last album and this one is even better.

[AlphaMale]

I loved his last album "Livin' Out Loud". I had it playing the other day and a friend of mine stopped by and swore I had Bon Jovi playing. LOL

[Deuce]

I became a fan with Livin' Out Loud. For me, My Revolution is good but doesn't top it so far, but I will be listening to it more and more over the coming days.
