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.”

Julian James has been around Melbourne’s live music scene since before he was allowed to drink in bars. The sound of his band ‘Julian James and The Moonshine State' mixes a love of moonshine-drinking finger picking country with the southern swamp wail of a back porch fiddle. Julian has released three well-received albums to date, all of which he’s road tested on frequent laps of our wide brown land.

Recorded at the Star Hotel, Yackandandah on a late February afternoon, the band’s new album 'Live at Star’ features some favorite old timey songs, furious fiddle, finger picking and foot stomping grooves.
The beers were flowing, the sun was shining The Moonshine State was in full flight and you can hear it on every track.

Paying homage to some of the greats like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Jimmy Reed along with more modern influences like The Steve Miller Band ‘Live at The Star’ presents some classics through an Americana lens.

Says Julian of the album

“I was very lucky to base myself for a few months in the town of Yackandandah which just happens to host some of Australia's best pickers. I've really fallen in love with the Americana sound and vibe - that combination of the blues sound and the country twang."

To escape the recent challenges of being a performing artist in these times, Julian has been living in his bus and continues to seek out a good festival, a shady spot and a friendly ear.

'Live at the Star' is available from the 10th July 2022 and can be found all over the internet.
