Critical praise for Julie Rhodes
The arrival of a significant new Americana/blues talent.
- Pop Matters
There arent many unknown artists who get to record their debut albums partially at Muscle Shoals Fame Studios with legends such as keyboardist Spooner Oldham, guitarist Greg Leisz and fiddler Sara Watkins sitting in. But, there arent many new singers as impressive as Julie Rhodes either.
- American Songwriter
Part of 'Bound to Meet the Devil's' charms come from the production and the players, but Rhodes' songwriting completes the spell. Her songs seem to rise from the ghosts of '50s blues and '60s soul greats."
- Boston Herald
On the cusp of a meteoric rise in the songwriter community, Julie Rhodes is a powerhouse vocalist with authentic soul, grounded both in the songwriting traditions of yesterdays Americana and todays very present social and political issues.
- Howl Magazine
"Sometimes you hear a voice and you immediately sit up and take notice. Thats what happened when I first listened to Julie Rhodes, her vocals big, soulful and growling through the speakers in a dark powerhouse sass that suits her Americana sound perfectly..."
- For the Country Record
"The ease with which she soulfully sings us through her heartbreak, and subsequent anger, is exceptional. The blend of country, soul, blues, and folk is effortless on this record. Rhodes uncompromising vocals, paired along with the sharp lyricism, leave me shattered in the best possible way."
