Someday Dreams Of You is Johnny Boyd's romantic new take on the Great American Songbook. Co-produced with industry veteran Oz Fritz (Tom Waits, Bill Laswell, Primus), the new album contains both overlooked treasures and fresh new classics co-written by Johnny himself in the Great American Songbook style.
“I wanted to create an updated Great American Songbook album,” Boyd explains. “The wonderful thing about Great American Songbook compositions is their timelessness – they are rich with real human feelings of love, loss, joy, hope, reflection, etc. These things don’t change with time. People still experience them today. Why not write brand new songs in the classic Great American Songbook style that express these timeless emotions?
“For me, it’s important to create music that successfully blends the old with the new. I’m not interested in providing a history lesson or recreating something that has already been realized in the past. I live in the world today. The challenge for this new album was to take the timeless styles and sounds from classic mid-century recordings I adore and fold them into the way we live today – to create new songs and update old favorites that complement each other in a fresh way. I think we accomplished this.”
