Everything about Julian James and his new album ‘Silver Spade’shouts the love of traditional blues for all to hear.

Everything about Julian James and his new album ‘Silver Spade’shouts the love of traditional blues for all to hear. His style is rooted in the old-time acoustic strummers of a bygone era, and he joins next generation artists such as Larkin Poe, Blind Boy Paxton and Pokey LaFarge in bringing authentic new voices to a style that has endured for 100 years.

Still in his twenties, Julian James has spent most of his adult life on the road, first as front man of Blues festival heroes ‘Catfish Voodoo’ and on his own. ‘Silver Spades’ is the second album in his catalogue as a solo artist and Julian brings the experience of a seasoned performer and a fresh perspective to this set of traditional songs by artists like Ma Rainey and early Muddy Waters, as well as originals like the title track Silver Spade.

Tales of love, loss and debauchery from 2018 sit happily with their ancestors from the 1930’s as James deliver his laconic vintage drawl from some porch or other.

Says Julian of his love of old blues:

“Catfish Voodoo played straight Chicago Blues, so I started with Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Willie Dixon; and then when I went out solo, I just kept going back in time and discovering people like Mississippi John Hurt, Leadbelly, Son House and knew that’s what I wanted to do.”

Emerging from Melbourne's famous music scene award winning artist Julian James has been cutting his teeth for the past 13 years at renowned festivals around Australia, both Solo and with a Chicago blues outfit.

After the success of his past two solo albums, countless tours and over 150,000kms around Australia, Julian has landed on a sound that draws from both a humming Louisiana back-porch swamp and roadhouse juke joint.

Joining forces with one of the industry's most proclaimed Americana producers Matt Fell, The album “Devil Town’ was created.

‘"My goal is to take the sound inside an artist's head and with all the tools we have here at our disposal, turn it into something they'd never imagined". -Matt’

Fell has crafted Julian’s unique voice and down-home song-writing to new highs, creating a modern record that harks back to the rhythm and roots of the Americas.

Having released two singles prior “Title Track - Devil Town” and “Little Lady” the album has been anticipated to be “a cut above” album for Julian James.

The album Devil Town hark back to an era so bygone it might as well be new again, so grab a glass of moonshine on the front porch, wait for the sun to set and smile at the devil when he knocks on your screen door…
