Jim Boggia Release
04/26/05
.
(Special Ops) Safe In Sound, in stores May 5th, could be the title of Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter Jim Boggias life story, not just the name of
his bluhammock music debut. As he often likes to explain, Ive been told that I was singing melodies before I started speaking words,
and I started playing the guitar when I was five. I have no conception of a life before music. Live the Proof, the first song released to
radio, pairs an inspirational, no-time-to-lose message with an impossible-to-resist chorus. Made Me So Happy, which features
guest vocalist Jill Sobule, is the kind of 2 and 1/2 minute pop rocker that sends you flying for the replay button, and Safe In Sound
also includes a song co-written with Aimee Mann, plus an vocal appearance by Aimee on another track. MC 5 guitarist Wayne
Kramer also guest stars on the album and Jim managed to convince reclusive seventies pop legend Emitt Rhodes to add
Beatle-esque background vocals to the lovely, happy-sad Let Me Believe (Evans Lament), which Rhodes also co-wrote. Core
musicians on the album include Pete Thomas from Elvis Costello and the Attractions/Imposters, Justin Meldal-Johnson from Beck's
band and Butch from the eels.[see
