Those who have heard Michael Drive do acoustic solos in the middle of his band shows, or any of his “evenings of acoustic bliss” know what I’m talking about! Unplugged excellence and raw talent. 12 songs; this is a very intimate, up close and personal collection of songs representing the ‘musician’ in his pure form, with excellent production. In noticing the strength of this album, this one quote says it all: Sony Music producer and recording Star Chi Coltrane, says; "Usually in the case of a rock band, if you take away the band and just leave the singer with the guitar, it's not very impressive; but in Michael Drive's case, it's completely different. If you were to take away the band, you would see that he shines like a multi-faceted diamond. His voice is unique... his musicianship, and his songwriting are excellent." Grammy Award Winner Paul Buckmaster, says; “Michael Drive is a skilled and talented singer/songwriter, who crafts powerful and inspired songs… In his lyrics, Michael is Driven by a desire for truth, and his music reflects that.” The Acoustic Collection is Intimate, smooth, raw and aggressive, all at the same time.
