Jim Wolf
Jim Wolf, Sleeping With Strangers, CD Review


Jim Wolf, Sleeping With Strangers
Sleeping With Strangers is the debut album for Brooklyn, NY based singer-songwriter Jim Wolf, released on August 17, 2010. The pop-rock songs on the album are largely explorations of failed romantic relationships and longing to recover lost love.

The multi-talented Jim Wolf not only sings but also plays guitar and synth. The influences he acknowledges are early Fleetwood Mac, ELO, Chicago and John Mayer. The musical arrangements often have an Elliot Smith kind of vibe; Jim’s vocals definitely have a Maroon 5 type of sound at times, as well.

An official Jim Wolf source said, “Sleeping With Strangers has literally been years in the making, as Jim has recorded in no fewer than seven studios from Rhode Island to Massachusetts to Connecticut, from Buffalo to New York City, striving to bring out the potential in each of his very personal songs, working with such collaborators as Anthony “Rocky” Gallo and Mike Brylinski. It has been, quite literally, a labor of love, and it has resulted in a most impressive first album.”

At some time, most everyone needs a good, introspective, boy-loses-girl album to indulge their feelings of confusion in regard to relationship loss and regret, right? Jim Wolf’s Sleeping With Strangers is a kind of solace to the lonely soul as well as music to the ears.

Jim Wolf - Sleeping With Strangers

by Shannon Taylor


.
Jim Wolf's Sleeping with Strangers is a breakup album. Although the title of Sleeping with Strangers could almost denote a party album dedicated to a life full of good times and one night stands, that is clearly not the case with this album. Sleeping with Strangers is nearly a concept album, a breakup letter to a lost love. The songs are filled with the resignation, the loneliness, the bitterness, the desperate unhappiness that goes along with picking up the pieces of the separation of what was once so promising.
It wouldn't be careless of me to assume that the songs on Sleeping with Strangers all came from a place of heartbreak, and the disintegration of a relationship. On every song, we feel Jim Wolf's melancholy over lost love. The title track is a sad slow lament on having to start all over again against your will. Wolf sings "And I don't wanna know what you're doing/'Cos I want you back when this blows over/And you know we are only Sleeping with Strangers/'Cos we don't know how to sleep alone." Wolf has a talent for explaining the multitude of feelings that go along with heartbreak in such uncomplicated words. His lyrics are neither groundbreaking, nor particularly innovative, but it is this innate simplicity that allows for the songs to have such resonance with the listener. On "San Diego Sun" Wolf is almost berating himself: "Conflicted memories, can I get a grip/I can't believe I'm not over this." Wolf's knack for songwriting lies in explaining complex human emotions in such a straightforward way.

The production on Sleeping with Strangers is at times slightly over-polished and somewhat reminiscent of John Mayer, while additionally Wolf's voice occasionally borders on blandness. At times it feels like he is purposely restraining himself, rather than just letting loose and singing from the heart. However there is such a likeability and truthfulness to Wolf's songs that makes the music an enjoyable listening experience. Some of the album's stronger tracks, "House of Cards", "San Diego Sun" and "It's Life", are very evocative of The Wallflowers, in the sense that these songs are highly accessible and appealing, but also manage to be memorable and inviting of subsequent listens. At times, there does feel to be a bit of an over-saturation of sad songs about lost love, but that is actually one of the strengths of the album. It is honest in its self-pity, Wolf doesn't sugarcoat his feelings or try to reign them in for the sake of repetition; he wallows in his unhappiness, he is clear in his intent to document the break up of a relationship that clearly impacted on him very strongly.

Overall, Wolf has crafted a very strong album full of the sadness, loneliness and bitterness that is inherent in relationship breakdowns. Sleeping with Strangers is a likeable, relatable album with a clear focus, and an inherent understanding of what it is to be heartbroken. - Antimusic.com / Usatoday.com


"Jim Wolf coming to Two Boots - August 28 2010"

Jim Wolf coming to Two Boots August 28
Thursday, 05 August 2010 12:14


Jim Wolf will perform at Two Boots in Bridgeport on Saturday, Aug. 28. (Submitted photo)

An exceptional singer-songwriter, Jim Wolf, who hails from Fairfield and currently lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., will perform Aug. 28, at Two Boots, 281 Fairfield, Ave., in Bridgeport.

Wolf’s debut album, “Sleeping with Strangers,” will be out Aug. 17. When on tour, he performs many songs from the album, which is a song-cycle about passion, attachment and self-discovery. Drawing writing inspiration from the likes of Thom Yorke, Stevie Nicks and U2, Wolf’s songs show traces of John Mayer, Elliot Smith and Chicago. Wolf takes the familiar archetype in pop music of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, and makes it an authentic experience.

“You know, the first song I ever wrote in my life,” he said, “was about the girlfriend I broke up with before leaving for college. I came home over the holidays and had big regrets. Ah, you know? My mistake,” he said, which is what he later named the four-chord song. “Originally, when I wrote the songs on the album,” he said, “all I wanted was just one thing: to get that girl back that I loved so much. But, you know, I saw her out with her new boyfriend the other week and she seemed happy. I realized that’s all I ever really wanted for her. There’s a certain sort of peace that comes with that.”

Leaving Connecticut behind and heading to New York was a big change for Wolf — a challenge he took on eagerly. “Living in Brooklyn has been so incredibly amazing. I live in an artist community, and everyone here is an artist before they’re anything else, like a barista at the local coffee house. It’s just so inspiring. The people in this community have taught me how to be more of a risktaker, and that’s really helped me grow as a musician.”

Although living in a big city can be stressful for some, Wolf loves the energy. “What do I do to wind down? Sometimes I try to squeeze in a game of old-school Nintendo if I can, but my favorite thing? My favorite thing — and I feel like I have to check it every night before I can go to sleep — is missed connections. Because, no matter how many harsh and cold people you run across, there is always that hopeless romantic wishing they’d talked to that person they saw on the train. The fact that you can almost always be in touch with someone if you have some sort of common ground, be it a train ride or that song you were both listening to in that special time and place, is so completely inspiring. I think it’s cool, that you’re never completely lost and no good bye is actually a complete goodbye.”

When thinking about the future and being successful, Wolf becomes sentimental and filled with gratitude. “Being recognized is nice,” he said, “but what really means a lot, be it in Indianapolis or even Chicago, is when people come out to support you (on tour). It really makes you feel like what you do must make a difference to be so well received outside of home.”

In a media-saturated society, the message has always been the most important thing to Wolf.

“Having your voice heard around the world is something,” he said, “but having a song where one person can say, ‘I can relate to that’ is one of the most amazing and gratifying things. I love meeting new people and talking to them, I’m such a people person. It’s one of the things I enjoy so much about performing. I can’t wait to get back in the van and start meeting new people again, and sharing that experience with the people who have always believed in me.”

"Love loss inspires Wolf's latest album"

Love loss inspires Wolf's latest album
Karen Kovacs Dydzuhn
Published: 01:02 a.m., Friday, July 23, 2010

The cover of Jim Wolf's recently released CD shows a beautiful girl lying on a bed, looking away, as a cool-looking dude with trendy hair and stylish, long side burns stares outward, at the presumed audience. His brown eyes are pensive and a bit sad, as if he is reflecting on a question that he already has the answer to, albeit not the one he wants.

The initial inspiration for the songs penned on Wolf's new album Sleeping with Strangers was, in fact, a love affair that went sour and the emotions he felt as he grappled with the loss.

A native of Fairfield, Wolf will debut the concept album in New York City at the Bitter End on Aug. 2, at 9 p.m., and at the Bowery Electric on Tuesday, Aug. 10, at 8 p.m.

The Connecticut release party will take place at Bridgeport's Two Boots on Saturday, Aug. 28, at 8 p.m. Ticket information is available at his website, www.jimwolf.com.

Brian Borelli, a fellow musician who worked on the album's horn and string arrangements and orchestration, also has ties to Fairfield. He is a band director in the town's schools. Other musicians and vocalists featured on Sleeping with Strangers are Rob Maresca, Pat McCarthy, Mike Knox, Jeff Sullivan, John Britto, Eric Heath, Pete Taylor, Dylan Teed, William Domelka, Edward Storck, Jason Lehberger and Meghan Wright Starry Tiberio.

During the upcoming shows in Connecticut and New York, Wolf plans on calling some of these performers to the stage to jam together once again.

Beginning in 2006, Wolf started recording tracks for the album at various studios in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York. Working with multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated producer Anthony "Rocky" Gallo, Wolf recorded at the Cutting Room in New York. He finished the album in Buffalo, N.Y. with Mike "Bling" Brylinski, an in-house producer of the Goo Goo Dolls.

Its lead track "House of Cards" was recognized by VH1's Save the Music Songwriting competition last December.

After getting to know some key industry professionals at VH1, Wolf was then asked to participate in "Break'N Through," a web and television based reality show on the popular television network. Sponsored by the Save the Music Foundation, a nonprofit organization that promotes music education in young people, Wolf is slated to perform for industry executives, musicians and fans at the Red Bull Stage on Sunday, Aug. 11. The struggles experienced by creative musicians as they relentlessly attempt to "make it" in the music world is portrayed in "Break'N Through."

Obviously looking forward to next month's gig, Wolf was also excited about the on-camera interview he had with the event's organizers. He admitted, though, that he was surprised that they already knew a great deal about him and his music. "That was awesome," Wolf noted.

With this month's CD release and his upcoming concerts, Wolf feels like his music career is definitely heading in an upward direction. He is quick to point out, though, that he appreciates the fan base he has steadily built in the past couple of years by touring and playing venues in New England while working on the album's recording.

Influenced by the sounds of John Mayer (another musician with ties to Fairfield), Thom Yorke, Elliott Smith and Stevie Wonder, one of his favorite all-time albums is Radiohead's The Bend. In fact, Wolf feels that listening to these tracks changed his overall sound.

"It made me see that rock songs can be emotional and not cheesy," Wolf said. "It had a British feel to it. It was still '90's rock, though."

Wolf also enjoys listening to Jason Mraz and the Dave Matthews Band.

Hands down, though, the musical event that critically changed the way Wolf viewed music was the motion picture about the life of legendary rock and roll star, Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of Fire.

"I was pretty obsessed with this movie for awhile," Wolf admitted, chuckling. "As a kid, this was my first exposure to rock 'n roll and the blues. It was something with more soul than I was used to hearing. It was really cool and inspiring."

Prior to listening to Lewis' distinct style, Wolf had only been exposed to more mainstream, pop music. However, after watching Lewis in action, over and over again, Wolf wanted to take music lessons. In elementary school, Wolf studied the guitar, piano and viola. In middle school, he sang in the town-wide chorus. However, it was when Wolf was about 15, when he started to play acoustic and electric guitars in his brother's rock band, that the seeds for pursuing music as a career were planted.

Wolf graduated from Fairfield High School and went on to study communications and music in college at Eastern Connecticut State University. Although he now lives in Brooklyn, in an enclave inhabited by several artists and musicians, Wolf's parents, Carol and Richard, continue to reside in Fairfield.

"I'll be stopping by soon to visit them," he said.

Singer-Songwriter Jim Wolf's Debut Album, "Sleeping With Strangers" Drops Today!

Singer-songwriter, Jim Wolf, whose debut album Sleeping With Strangers is an honest and impeccably crafted song-cycle about passion, attachment, and self-discovery. Wolf's music is nakedly sentimental, putting a fresh spin on the familiar pop archetype of boy-meets/loses-girl.

Jim draws inspiration from a variety of musical sources, from Elliot Smith and U2 to Stevie Nicks and Chicago, and he has built a loyal following for his live shows, playing to packed houses throughout New England.

Sleeping With Strangers has literally been years in the making, as Jim has recorded in no fewer than seven studios from Rhode Island to Massachusettes to Connecticut, from Buffalo to New York City, striving to bring out the potential in each of his very personal songs, working with such collaborators as Anthony 'Rocky' Gallo and Mike Brylinski. It has been, quite literally, a labor of love, and it has resulted in a most impressive first album.
As Mara Fraser wrote about the talented singer-songwriter,

When thinking about the future and being successful, Wolf becomes sentimental and filled with gratitude. “Being recognized is nice,” he muses, “but what really means a lot, be it in Indianapolis or even Chicago, is when people come out to support you (on tour). It really makes you feel like what you do must make a difference to be so well received outside of home.”

The message has always been the most important thing to Wolf, in a media saturated society, “having your voice heard around the world is something,” he continues, “but having a song where one person can say, ‘I can relate to that’ is one of the most amazing and gratifying things.

When you see him on tour, you’ll be sure to hear many songs from his latest album, Sleeping with Strangers, which is filled with sentimentality. “Originally, when I wrote the songs on the album,” he said, “all I wanted was just one thing: to get that girl back that I loved so much.

"Singer Jim Wolf follows well-worn path on debut"

By Dennis Fallon, for the CDT

With online buzz and a working-class ethic but without the help of a record label, singer-songwriter Jim Wolf releases his first disc, "No Sleep What-so-ever" into the saturated genre of acoustic pop rock.

Sounding like John Mayer and the Barenaked Ladies with just a hint of emo, Wolf's songs are one-dimensional and easily digestible. These simple ideas are the perfect vehicle for the singer, who sounds so normal and well-adjusted that his voice is almost unique in its plainness. He has no rasp, no squeak, and no whine that is the benchmark of your Dylans and Springsteens.

Hailing from Bridgeport, Conn. (hometown of fellow chick magnet Mayer), Wolf's album is standard, singer-songwriter soft rock. But Wolf captures the essence of why girls love this stuff; he really means what he is singing about. His lonely-singer shtick is dead-on, and his lyrics have such an everyday quality that his songs connect within their first 15 seconds. In our day-to-day quest for love, we all have been Jim Wolf at one time or another.

Wolf's songwriting style has a distinct freshman quality to it; he sings of girls in blue jeans, insecurities and hope, all the while maintaining his optimistic "gee-whiz" personality. He is not bitter or jaded, and though the songwriting lacks a certain depth, it is hard not to really connect with his saccharine positivity. Unlike many singer-songwriters, Wolf is in love with the idea of being in love.

For such a happy collection, the album's best track is actually the sad, loser anthem "The Raincheck Man." The song, a waltz, tells the story of a man who has romantic dates made and broken by the women he loves. The story of the constantly blown off, Wolf captures the pain of nice schmucks everywhere.

Though in no way fresh or innovative, "No Sleep What-so-ever" shows that there may always be room for one more pop singer-songwriter. Guys and their guitars have been crooning to women for decades, so this type of music needn't be fresh. It just needs to be heartfelt, and Wolf captures that with ease.

"Jim Wolf: Saturday Night with Jim Wolf"

Band Concert Review

The Acoustic Cafe - Bridgeport, CT -April 22, 2006
By Adam Bernard

Saturday night I was back at the Acoustic Café to see Jim Wolf perform. This wasn't the first time I'd seen Wolf, I'd seen him live at another bar a handful of months ago, but since that performance he'd hooked up with a new band, one that better understands what he's trying to do with his music. The result of finding some musicians who better relate to his goals is a more authentic Jim Wolf performance, which is a very enjoyable time.

Wolf has the unenviable task of living in a shadow that he has nothing to do with. Being an acoustic guitarist and singer / songwriter hailing from Fairfield, CT, Wolf has to deal with the John Mayer comparisons. In all honesty Wolf doesn't mind the comparisons, the two are friends, but the fact of the matter is, despite being tagged with the same acoustic guitarist singer / songwriter label, the two are actually quite different. Wolf never uses Mayer's breathy vocal tone, instead he opts for his own unique "up" vocals that, for Wolf, breathe life into his lyrics. Wolf's songs also, at times, have more of an edge to them. Well, as much of an edge as an acoustic guitar can have.

On Saturday it was Wolf, his bassist and his drummer up on stage at the Acoustic entertaining a packed house. Wolf performed a few of the songs off of his No Sleep What-So-Ever album with numerous new tunes thrown in for good measure. A few songs in Wolf related a story from the night before when he played at the football stadium at Bryant College. Apparently after three songs the lights went out so he and his band had to light candles and perform, essentially, in the dark until they fixed the lights, which they finally did five songs later.

Thankfully there were no technical difficulties at the Acoustic. The only breaks in the action on Saturday night were when Wolf called up one of his friends to dance on stage and when Wolf accepted a shot that one of his fans had bought for him. That's classic Jim Wolf right there. He's an extremely personable performer and his fans love him for it. Actually I think Wolf has the most rabid fans of any acoustic guitarist I've ever seen. The shouts and cheers from the audience were raucous and Wolf seemed to enjoy how into the performance everybody was.

Liks: Nothing changed from two days ago except this time around I was drinking my old standby, Guinness. Guinness, the other dark meat.

Verdict: Jim Wolf is fantastic at what he does and the good news for him is that his music is the kind that most anyone, no matter age, race or creed, can enjoy. During the show I turned to one of the friends I had come with and commented "you know, Jim's really good," and I meant it. Simply put, you can't help but have a good time when you see a Jim Wolf performance.

"Jim Wolf — No Sleep What-So-Ever"

Fellas, get ready to roll your eyes, because your girlfriends are gonna swoon over this one — unless they’re hard-core indie rock chicks. Even then, Jim Wolf may still manage to win them over. Right out of the gate, the beautiful acoustic/piano/violin intro to opening song “Lighthouse” makes it obvious that this singer/songwriter has an agenda — conquer the world one radio station at a time. If that includes stealing someone’s girlfriend along the way, it sounds like Wolfie’s well prepared — and well equipped — to do so.

You see, Wolf is from Bridgeport, CT, which happens to be the same place John Mayer got his start with a band called Villanova Junction. And it just so happens that Wolf’s older brother, Rich, was the bassist for Villanova Junction. Little Jimmy apparently tagged along as much as possible, like any annoying teenage brother would, which probably means he still has to pretend to like that damn “Your Body is a Wonderland” song, even though he’s heard it 10 times more than the rest of us.

But, more importantly, hanging out with Mayer and soaking up that “signature sound” of his obviously had a big influence on Wolf, as the music on No Sleep What-So-Ever sounds like it could have been pulled from a Room for Squares practice session.

Otherwise, No Sleep is a solid collection of catchy gerialtrock songs waiting for an A&R guy to scoop up and exploit. The Matthews/Mayer plucked guitar style is relentless, the tempos stay upbeat and bouncy, and sweet harmonies abound. Wolf’s lovesick lyrics do get headshakingly grating after a while, and unfortunately, the violin and cello disappear after a few songs, not to resurface until closer “The Story of My Life,” which is bound to end up on a WB soundtrack soon (if it hasn’t already). Despite these shortcomings, however, the album still manages to hit the mark, the sum obviously being worth more than its parts. (Self-released)

"Artist of the Week - Jim Wolf"

Artist Of The Week – Jim Wolf

Setbacks. They happen to everyone, but Fairfield, Connecticut’s Jim Wolf had one few artists can relate to, he lost almost his entire first album, No Sleep What-So-Ever, due to a tree branch. “It fell on the main line to the power supply of the studio,” he remembers, “and no surge protector or back up supply could save the hard drive from being fried.” The silver lining for him is that he feels re-recording the album helped make him a better artist. Fast-forward to today, Wolf is readying the release of his second album, The Stars Never Lie, and this time no tree limbs have been involved in the recording process. Wolf sat down with me this week to discuss what has been involved, which includes a lot of growth, a lot of inspiration, and finding a few ways to deal with the constant comparisons to longtime friend John Mayer.

Adam Bernard: The new album, The Stars Never Lie, is due out January 30th. What are some of the differences this time around from your previous effort, No Sleep What-So-Ever?
Jim Wolf: I didn’t try so hard and got so much more in The Stars Never Lie than my previous release. I didn’t over do it, it’s acoustic. The writing and meaning haven’t been cut at all. It’s much more mature and has much more depth to it. It’s quite a bit darker, talks about everything from love and fate to societies obsession with it’s newest and largest growing religion, celebrity worship. Overall it’s more intimate, it takes you back to the singer/songwriter era, very personal, and very non-cookie cutter. The cover has a very (David) Bowie-esque attitude. We used Lite-Brite around the edge to give a nostalgic childhood feel to it, as if we were spelling our own name in the marquee lights when we were young. Let’s see if some one tries to steal my cover art this time.

Adam Bernard: I’m sure there was a lot of personal growth in-between albums. What are some of the events that helped shape this record?
Jim Wolf: Break ups… what did you expect me to say? I originally wanted to have three albums, almost like George Lucas films, such as Indiana Jones. Part One: Finding and trying to get the girl. Part Two: Being with the girl and keeping her. Part Three: Losing her and trying to get her back. Then I realized there’s more that I’m writing about, more heartfelt, but also strong society related, stuff. Those songs are for album four if it comes to it, like the way that they’re adding a fourth Indiana Jones movie to the trilogy.

Adam Bernard: Inspiration is a tricky thing. What settings or environments most inspire you? Basically, when and where do you feel you get your best ideas, and why?
Jim Wolf: Four in the morning is usually when I write my best stuff. In most cases, I am still awake lingering on an emotion I can’t explain. I definitely write best when there is a conflict in my life, usually relationship related. I think it’s because I am a songwriter and I when I date and it gets serious it’s always the same problem, they like you at first because you are a songwriter and then they can’t be with you when they realize “oh my God, some of these songs really are about other real girls.” They start making complaints to me like “I will always be second to your music” which is an unfair thing to say. So I get stuck running around in circles that always come to the same end result, me sitting with my guitar contemplating what really happened. I do believe environment also has a great deal to do with songwriting. Like we have the changing of the seasons here in the northeastern part of the country, I know this affects us. We get cold and lonely and this can seriously depress those who are alone. I figure Jack Johnson writes mostly upbeat happy music because he is in the sun surfing on the beach all day. I can see why he is such an upbeat artist. Lately my songs have been about the struggle between lost loves, social pressure, and trying to adapt to change. I tend to write better songs in the aftermath than I do while trying to get the girl.

Adam Bernard: You’re going to be doing a small US tour this February. What are your goals for the tour and what are you hoping to experience during that time?
Jim Wolf: Promoting The Stars Never Lie is the key objective. I have the shows and now it’s time to do it the old fashion way, playing my tail off and showing people I can perform. Getting the name out is the most important thing, well next to the music. I also hope to network and experience things and places I have never seen.

Adam Bernard: Finally, being from Fairfield, CT, and being a singer / songwriter who plays the guitar, the inevitable John Mayer comparisons will come up. What makes you different from Mayer?
Jim Wolf: Ever since I first played in front of an audience I have gotten these comparisons, they are the most flattering thing I can get. I am a guy with an acoustic guitar, there are only so many ways you can dance with the thing, but if you could see John Mayer play guitar up close, you will never make that comparison to me or want to attempt picking up a guitar yourself ever again, he’s that good. I am in John’s acoustic genre, which he re-designed. Due to the foul taste left in self-made musicians’ mouths by corporate pushed music such as American Idol there will be more and more singer/songwriters every year pushing through the door that pioneers like John Mayer opened. He's also in the blues genre, I am not, although I like it. I bought my first guitar with him and my brother, it was a Fender Stratocaster, back when I was 16. I’m sad to say one of my old friends pawned it for drugs.

Bio

A resident of Brooklyn, New York, Jim Wolf has spent the past few years in studios all over New England to produce a flawless version of each track. The song “House of Cards,” has become the driving force of the album “Sleeping with Strangers”. Wolf traveled from the Cutting Room in New York City, with Muti-Platinum Award Winning Producer Anthony “Rocky” Gallo, to Northern MA, Enoch (Weezer’s Blue Album), Providence RI and finally up to Buffalo, NY with Mike “Bling” Brylinski (Goo Goo Dolls) working at 7 studios total with the obsessive quest for perfection. During this time, Jim Wolf has continued to generate and build on his loyal grassroots fan base, playing packed shows throughout the New England area. ”Sleeping with Strangers” was released on August 10th 2010 at the Bowery Electric in NYC.
