Hallowed Ground was produced, engineered and navigated by Jeff Murphy of Shoes fame. He writes:
"Day One is the brainchild of Leroy Bocchieri, the talented,
multi-instrumentalist that writes, sings, arranges and plays just abouteverything on Hallowed Ground. He manages to combine a great sense of pop melody (think Elvis Costello) with a rhythmic groove (Lenny Kravitz)creating a style that is uniquely his own. From the "Stones-y" feel of the rockin' "The Kind You Get Hurt By" to the dance groove of "Lawrence Of Arabia" to the smooth seduction of "Warm At Night" this disc effortlessly twists and turns through different genres and yet feels completely cohesive.You should definitely make your own pilgrimage to this Hallowed Ground! It promises to be a truly religious experience."
