Call Richard Julian a “singer songwriter” or a “folk artist” if you must, but there's much that sets this artist apart from the pack. Think more Mose Allison...but with an acoustic guitar. Tight compositions. An off-speed wit. Sophisticated, but not precious. And lyrics that fearlessly venture toward the confessional. Tonight, Julian celebrates the release of Sunday Morning In Saturday's Shoes, produced by the legendary Mitchell Froom. After seeing Julian's appearance at Lincoln Center's prestigious American Songwriter Series, The New York Times said he "writes aphoristic folk-rock songs packed with sly, joking wordplay. Keen social observation is tinged with a hipster's sarcasm." Randy Newman calls him one of the best songwriters/record makers he's heard in a very long time. Sunday Morning In Saturday's Shoes could be a metaphor for life's little hangovers, wake-up calls and transitions or it could just be a great f*ckin' record. You decide.
