“Access granted” is the theme of Lenny Bosh's freshman CD, ‘Thoughts I Collected.’ But don't be fooled by the independent label, because the production on this first-time-out CD is top shelf. The CD was written and recorded at Lenny's woodland oasis in Coventry, CT - Sound of Fury Studios. Produced by Mike Woods of Damone and mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, 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.
“Before I moved into my new house and new studio, I decided to take on the project of producing a CD for my pastor at my church,” explains Bosh. “Every year he does an original Christmas song on acoustic on Christmas Eve. I told him, ‘For keepsakes, let's make a CD as my donation to the church. This way he would have something to sell for the church and give his kids and at the same time I learn how to record and work my equipment.’ This ended up being such a win-win situation, that brought me to really have feelings that I wanted to do my own CD!”
Soon after, the idea for ‘Thoughts I Collected’ was born. “I always wanted to put out a CD. I have a 4 and 5 year old, and finally it was at the point where I could spend some time doing ‘my stuff.’ I built a brand new house in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by all trees and went to it...but soon I realized I wasn't making headway. I'd get maybe an hour a day in, and that's just not productive. Meanwhile I started doing a few bands in my studio when my friend Greg Dicrosta (who designed and set up my studio) brought his friend’s band, Damone, in to engineer and record a song for the Major League Soccer team, the New England Revolution. It was different and my wife was so worried. We were going to make them stay at a hotel (and as bands always go they had no money), but my wife is cool and she was like ‘you guys can stay here.’ Depending on how you look at it, they ended up doing a few more songs and finishing their last CD here (‘Roll the Dice’) - because my studio is cheap, top notch, and the environment rules. They eat for free and eat good, I have a great pool, lots of property with lots of toys, game room, sauna, gym, and 2 full guest rooms on the 2nd floor. It's a place where they don't have to let the outside pressures get to them. I ended up really becoming friends with Mike Woods their songwriter and guitarist. For the next year he just continued to impress me with his musical skills. He is so gifted.”
Hi Lenny, Thanks for the friendship request my new friend...Your recordings have a good quality sound. Don't you just love new technology giving you the capability to record at home? You also have an ear friendly vocal. Wish you all the best with your new project. Take care & may God bless, Glenn
Yeah man, nice tunes. Hope you gave mine a listen. I'd love to get back up to Connecticut one of these days. Drove through there three times in the late 60s and was fascinated by the history of the place as well as the beauty of many parts of the state. It was almost like being in Texas, only colder. HAHA
