Sometimes Julie |
||
Americana is being redefined by Sometimes Julie’s debut album, ‘Head First’. Beatific vocals and lyrics backed by superb production values are elevating their work to the top of the terrestrial and international radio charts.

Sometimes Julie is the intersecting ambition of singer-songwriter duo Monica Sorenson and Rick Walker, Andy Graham (drums), Andrew Yurman (bass), and Fred Barden (lead guitar). While their new album 'Head First' extensively investigates the varied challenges of a burgeoning romance, their sound distinctly hails from the Americana domain. This is a complex genre in that it attains to express the situation of an entire country - one with a notoriously complicated assembly of viewpoints, ambitions and creeds. It is essential to appreciate this in interpreting Sometimes Julie as their work ranges considerably in sensibility and affect. Songs like 'Come Find Me' render the journey toward togetherness with an almost immigrant intensity while other tracks put Sorenson's superb vocal talent (strong as Joplin but sensitive in a way the other woman never quite reached) in service to long-cherished American preoccupations with love and loyalty. Reporter Blake Wright recently caught up with the band to learn more about their story and plans for the future. BLAKE: When When did you first discover your love of music? BLAKE: Your song ‘Head First’ is receiving a strong listener response on radio. What was your initial reaction when you first heard it played?
