New CD Released- We Are Warriors

--The band's newest recording 'We Are Warriors' has been released. It features music and lyrics written by members of our rock band 'Blue Aces.' This is the first time a military rock band has created and recorded a musical project of totally original material; music and lyrics were written and arranged entirely by the band's members.
The CD contains a wide variety of musical styles -- from sentimental country and patriotic tunes to hard rock -- targeted towards the younger generations of Air Combat Command and the Air Force. Zak Rizvi engineered the project, which was multi-tracked in Studio "A" and overdubbed and mixed in StarCity's "Plus" room. Jeff Glixman, Jim Gentile, Lily Salinas, John Andrea and Julie Miller were also intricately involved in the project.
"I was the rookie producer on this project and learned a great deal in the process," said MSgt Dale Eley. "I was fortunate to receive a great deal of wise advice from Jeff, Zak, and other members of the StarCity family."
"I assigned MSgt Eley and the Blue Aces to record an album that will inspire the men and women of the Air Force, our sister services and allies, as well as our fellow Americans," said Major Douglas Monroe, Commander of the USAF Heritage of America Band. "The Blue Aces returned from StarCity with a recording of great music. I couldn't be prouder with the results they've achieved."
