DEEP IN THE HEART OF NOWHERE is the first solo studio album by Bob Geldof, the ex-Boomtown Rats lead singer. It was released in November 1986. Bob Geldof has two big claims to fame. He was the leader of the Boomtown Rats and he was heavily involved in charity music organizations like Band Aid and Live Aid. His first solo album, Deep in the Heart of Nowhere, has been out of print for a long time. A year removed from his work organizing the Live Aid concerts to raise money and awareness concerning famine in Africa, ex-Boomtown Rat lead singer Bob Geldof released his solo debut. DEEP IN THE HEART OF NOWHERE features a host of name performers ranging from Midge Ure (Ultravox) to Brian Setzer (Stray Cats) to Eric Clapton lending a hand. The lyrics are a bit self-conscious and overreaching at moments, but, with all of the talent on board, the album does have some winning tracks. The single, This Is the World Calling, barely scraped into the charts, but is an anthemic plea to the cosmos with a heavenly background vocal trio of Maria Mckee, Annie Lennox, and Alison Moyet. "August Was a Heavy Month" and "Love Like a Rocket" both contain fluid, melodic guitar work from Clapton, with the latter being an infectiously catchy lyrical take-off on the Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset." Unfortunately, the second half begins to waver and the album, overall, is unfocused and less than the sum of some pretty spectacular parts.

Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof, 5 October 1951, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, Eire. Geldof initially entered the music scene as a journalist on Canada’s premier underground rock journal Georgia Straight. Further experience with the New Musical Express and Melody Maker sharpened his prose and upon returning to Dublin, he formed the band Nightlife Thugs, which subsequently evolved into the Boomtown Rats, one of the first acts to emerge during the punk/new wave explosion of 1976/77. Geldof continued to help with the administration of Band Aid, which effectively put his singing career on hold for a couple of years. After receiving a knighthood in June 1986 and publishing his autobiography, he recorded the solo album, DEEP IN THE HEART OF NOWHERE, which spawned the minor hit ‘This Is The World Calling’. Unfortunately, Geldof’s celebrity status seemed to have worked against him in the fashion-conscious pop world, a fact that he freely admitted. His second album, 1990’s The Vegetarians Of Love, was recorded in a mere five days and proved a hit with critics and fans alike. Complete with folk and Cajun flavourings and an irreverent stab at apathy in the hit single ‘The Great Song Of Indifference’, the album brought some hope that Geldof might be able to continue his recording career, despite the perennial publicity that associates his name almost exclusively with Live Aid. It is, however, for both Live Aid and the 2005 ‘follow-up’ Live 8 that Sir Bob Geldof is rightly applauded. He has carried off both events with a winning formula of enthusiasm and bullish passion. Articulate and highly motivated, nobody has done more for world causes from within the world of popular music than he has. Whatever his limitations as a musician Geldof is unquestionably one of the all-time ‘great’ figures, in an industry often tainted as shallow and irresponsible.
