English term or phrase: sing from somewhere deep in his boots

"The album took its first odd turn with 'Club America', where Robert Smith tried a new voice, much raspier and lower than his Lovecat moneymaker. For the first time on record, Smith sounded as if he's singing from somewhere deep in his boots, as he growls like a predatory sex machine."

On parle ici d'un album de The Cure.
Je ne vois pas du tout ce que peut signifier ce "sing from somewhere deep in his boots", des idées ?

Explanation:
je pense que c'est l'idée de chanter avec ses tripes, de chanter du plus profond de soi-même/de son coeur, ce qui donne d'où une voix rauque/qui vient de loin, etc, ( comme le dit la suite du texte...)
