I had a great evening last night at the @dovecot_gallery private viewing of their new exhibition 'The Scottish Endarkenment'. My highlight was Julie Roberts' series of dead artists - here we see her picture of the French writer Victor Hugo. I would recommend a visit! #art #Dovecot #Edinburgh #VictorHugo #writer #JulieRoberts (à Dovecot)

Julie Roberts

Over the years there have been albums that have shaped my life musically.  There are albums that stand out more than others and frequently find themselves spinning in my cd player.  This week I want to share with you another one of those albums.  I hope you find the same musical connections that I found listening to this album.

It was spring of 2004 and a slow country ballad came on the radio.  I never recalled hearing the song before, but somehow it seemed to have a familiar sound and feeling.  It was a debut song from an artist that I had never heard of. Her name? Julie Roberts. The song? Break Down Here.  I was hooked instantly on her smooth vocals, pure country sound, and powerful voice.

I spent hours playing the song over and over again, trying to memorize every musical aspect of “Break Down Here”.  As soon as I had the self-titled album “Julie Roberts” in my hand, I studied the entire album.  Listening to it for hours upon hours, “Julie Roberts” became an instant classic and a timeless treasure I would find myself listening to over the past ten years on many occasions.

Just like music is meant to do, it takes on different meanings.  Over the past ten years, I have interpreted and understood the songs on multiple levels.  When there has been heartache in my life, I looked to the songs for understanding.   “Break Down Here” has stood by me in trying times.  I have looked at the lyrics for strength, and I have been inspired by the natural country sound the Roberts voice possess.

Most notably there have been several songs on the album that I have sought after for many reasons over the past ten years.  When I needed a good song to hear during a heartache, I would turn to “Break Down Here”, “Wake Up Older”, “Unlove Me”, “If You Had Called Yesterday”, and one of my personal favorites “I Can’t Get Over You”.  There is something haunting about the emotions that Roberts manages to invoke in her vocal performances.  When you listen, you can’t help but feel a presence that is often felt when you listen to a classic album record by the likes of Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn.

“Julie Roberts” features obvious up-tempo tunes that have frequently played as well.  “No Way Out” is a great up tempo tune that shows of a more swinging side to Roberts’s vocal range, but she manages to reach down and emote the most when she is belting out a well written ballad.

It has been hard to believe that this album has been one of my favorites for over ten years.  Every single time the album starts to play, it still feels like the first time I heard the album from start to finish.  It is intertwined with a retro style, a fresh breath of air, and a classic country twist to make it sound timeless in my record collection.  I know that I will still enjoy this album for another ten years.
