Julie Roberts

Men & Mascara

Following her debut album in 2004, Roberts has become the most significant new female artist on the country scene. Though she has the glamour-girl look of a Faith Hill, the Southern bluesiness of her vocal phrasing is closer to Lucinda Williams, and the fiddle and steel guitar that dominate Byron Gallimore's production show country music making few concessions to pop. Roberts, with her deep, blues-soaked voice that poignantly captures the pain of the wronged and forgotten, has quickly became a favourite of the fans and music critics alike.

"With the country-blues sound of Bonnie Raitt and the voice - and looks - of Faith Hill, it won't be long before Julie Roberts is a household name....it's an album we'll be hearing a lot about come Grammy time."
