BOSH DEBUTS WITH ‘THOUGHTS I COLLECTED’
Although he grew up as a metalhead, Lenny Bosh’s debut release, ‘Thoughts I Collected’ (issued via Sound of Fury Music), is driven by acoustic guitar, sweet melodies, and introspective lyrics. Written and recorded at Lenny’s woodland oasis in Coventry, CT (Sound of Fury Studios), and produced by Mike Woods of Damone, there is no denying the tracks are very gentle on the ears, while the use of densely layered vocal harmonies and vibrant acoustic guitars create a lush tapestry of sound. Lenny’s voice embodies the chipped away sound with no frills, pure content, and laden with emotion. Don’t be fooled that this is light music either, because Woods helped to create a wall of sound to fill out the style.
“My main music side is really that singer/songwriter and acoustic guitar format,” explains Bosh. “But I am not as authentic as guys like Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash. So it tends to the rock/pop genre I figure. If you take those four categories and mix them together – that’s me. I do know that my sound is a bit different (and not in a rhetorically cool original way) because of my voice and my ability to not have to fit my music somewhere.”
Upon listening to ‘Thoughts I Collected,’ you will soon discover that in addition to Bosh’s acoustic leanings, there is also a healthy helping of electric guitars, vintage synthesizers, instrumental solos, and catchy verses, along with memorizing choruses that leave you looking deeper into your own soul. Furthermore, the content of the songs are an opening into the life of someone who is learning to grow. Songs like “Take These Dreams” and “Forever and a Day” explore the fears of a father learning from his children, while “I Miss You” talks about discovering your own mortality, and such tracks as “Outside Looking Inside” and “What if” explore weaknesses and fears and open up Lenny like a book – all the while maintaining a confidence in his emotions.
As far as future plans, Bosh’s has certain goals in mind. “To pursue my music and watch my kids grow. I want to see where my music will go. My music dream is that of many if not most other artists – to connect to other people via my music. That I touch people with my music is the biggest compliment!”
