Bob Geldof’s ‘Deep in the Heart of Nowhere’: Ambitious yet unremarkable
In the depths of Obscurity, Bob Geldof unveiled his initial solo effort, titled “Deep in the Heart of Nowhere” back in 1986. Following the disbandment of his former group, The Boomtown Rats, Geldof struck out on his own and produced this album as his first solo project. While it didn’t make a significant impact on listeners at the time, “Deep in the Heart of Nowhere” was released on November 24, 1986 – coincidentally sharing a release date with Eric Clapton’s album “August” where they collaborated.
