NEWS - Jim Eannelli sings for “Young Girl.”
Producer and multi-instrumentalist Jim Eannelli has been in every sort of band from hard rock to synth pop; he worked with Rick Derringer on the Colour Radio record, played guitar, performed and recorded with both former BoDean Sam Llanas and the Shivvers, the ‘80s power-pop band that finally gained international recognition in recent years. He is a legendary supporting player in his hometown, Milwaukee, and he steps onto center stage for his first album, 'Just Deserts'.
There is some rather pretty humming at the start of “Young Girl.” Then Jim Eannelli sings, “The first time that I met you/I knew you were for me/And I had to learn the hard way/Your love was not free,” before offering more humming. This track also features nice work on acoustic guitar. There is an interesting, dreamlike quality to this song, and so it seems fitting when he repeats the line “Our love was just a dream.” “Young Girl” with homespun, albeit slightly otherworldly, balladry. Young Girl is where I got a hint of Roy Orbison. The middle tracks of 'Just Deserts' sound like Jim was writing an extended love letter.
