from my library (cd)



Another artist I didn't know was still around, yet an album out just last year. Boston native who fronted two unknown groups before going solo
in '92. This is her second solo effort and the only thing I have. Don't even know why I have it as I do not recall anything that inspired me.
Sort of a grungy Go-Go's sound to me, with a few punk/poppy tunes but more rock overall. I jokingly gave a clue to this artist in my "H" cd's
thread referencing the Hatfields and McCoys legend. Turns out she is actually a descendent of that Hatfield family. Juliana claims the band X as
one of her early influences and that comes through on a few tracks also. That band was too hardcore for me. What A Life and Universal Heart-Beat
were singles from here, the latter making it to #84. The album peaked at #96.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
