"I have not heard your style in such a classy way in so many years. Your music is very strong, your vocals are incredible…the band is just fabulous!" - Dave Nemeth/ NBC Daytime
"Call Me Angel for Blues… announces a major singing and songwriting talent in Florida's Julie Black…. The players and arrangements are excellent, and Black is a confident, expressive singer. Angel is beautiful." - Blues Revue Magazine
"Call Me Angel for Blues" has to be the debut of the year…" - Blues Critic Media - www.bluescritic.com
"... she has strong natural talents (both as a singer and a writer)…I'm an unabashed fan of Angel for Blues…" - George Willett - Twelve Bar Rag/ Suncoast Blues Society
"... I LOVE it. You are a rare talent, not only with your voice, but the heart of your soul shines in the songs you write and that make you a treasure indeed! Your songs are so welcome in a genre where most of the great stuff we hear are deranged covers. You have one of the freshest, unique sounds I have heard in a long time. Thanks for keeping the Blues alive with your distinct style!" - Joy Craig/ Baton Rouge Blues Society
"Julie Black's CD is full of the emotions we all can relate to. Her songs and her vocals… sultry, sexy, sassy, smoky, jazzy, and Janis-esque. Nice work and the band is very tasty. I look forward to hearing more."
- Randy Hoffman/ Blues Blowtorch Society
"…a singer who has the smoky voice of a blues/jazz starlet on certain songs yet has the power of a down home soul singer as well…Black sings with conviction…"
- New Times/ Broward-Palm Beach, Florida
"Julie & her band are a wonderful example of musicians taking their craft back to its artistic, creative roots…Very rarely have I seen a performance that resonates with such passion and pure joy for the act of creating…" - Lia Gallegos, Director/ Progress Energy Art Gallery
"... The sounds were deep and powerful like Etta James, Norah Jones, Ella meets Satchmo ... She felt the music with her moves...Wherever did she get this soul?! Either my eyes played tricks on me …or I had traveled time and space to New Orleans in its heyday and it was glorious!" - Maria (MySpace Blog Goddess)
"...Julie Black (aka Angel for Blues) has a nice, slow-burning way with a blues tune and a voice that growls on command..." - Creative Loafing (formerly the Weekly Planet)
"…I thought there were beautiful lyrics in the songs… Fantastic!...I feel what she feels, I'm loving Love This Mama!" - Marvelous Marv Flemming WMNF Tampa 88.5 FM
"What a voice, clear, strong and smooth…you and your band are firing on all cylinders…" - Jack Rice, President/ West Virginia Blues Society
"…it was Julie Black, who's boisterous rendition "Make Love To You" that got the crowd really going…" - Steve Echeverria Jr./ Sarasota Herald Tribune
"…a showcase of the breadth of her writing talent as her singing. She has a great feel for the music...This is strong stuff from the writing and performing point of view." - Charlie Johnson / Blues Society of Omaha
"…Julie has one of the prettiest voices I've heard…On a dime, Julie goes from purring kitty to roaring lioness. Emotion drips like candle wax, leaving searing heat and vision blurring scorned and scalded eyes full of tears. The band is smooth and supple, moving with sinuous power…" - Long Island Blues Society
"…The voice comes over smooth, jazz perfused, sensual and soft, putting you in mind of Peggy Lee or Astrid Gilberto. She approaches lyrics with care, feeling, sensitivity, and thought, but she's not averse to doing a grinding, growlin Wolf number like Howlin For My Darlin'. If she wants this career it's clear she's got what it takes..." - Blues Beat
"It does what it says on the tin… But what really excites me is this awesome vocal talent that brands itself Julie Black. Where has this girl come from? Here she sings everything from Downhome Blues to jazz tinged melodies and swings like she's been apprentice to Billie Holliday for 14 years. The vocal range is immense…" - Gareth Davies/ DJ in U.K.
"Julie is an outstanding songwriter and together with her commanding vocals, this tight band and their polished; but not overly slick sound, I expect to be hearing more from Julie Black for years to come." - Malcom Kennedy/ Bluesletter
