“The Julie July Band have emerged from Sandy Denny’s long shadow with a fine, attention-demanding studio album, Lady Of The First Light. Eleven folk-rock tracks, shared writing duties, excellent musicianship and top notch production values make for a very persuasive collection of original songs. Both lyrically and musically these folks know how to create an atmosphere and they’re clearly gifted storytellers. These songs should sound wonderful on stage, and one of them might just turn out to be a stone cold festival showstopper. There aren’t that many bands out there with wholly original material sounding quite as good as this. You might want to check them out”
