Memory Lane, Vol. I - Reviews

Some reviews for Julia's Rain from back in the mid 1990s.

From Chart Magazine, the "Bible" of the Canadian indie music scene back then:



From The Coast, a Halifax weekly:



From Gig, a now-defunct Atlantic Canadian music magazine, there was the review pictured at left, which was kind enough to mention the one song in Tall Poppies or Julia's Rain history that I sang - "Do You Think". I wrote it as a 13-year old, and we added it onto wonderful broken silence at the last minute.

As I recall, we recorded it on a four track, with me playing guitar and doing the spoken-word voice over in the downstairs bathroom at my parents' house. The organ we used was an old Bontempi that my sister Sharon had stashed in the basement.

It was fun!

We never got a bad review, which is a nice thing to look back on!
