Julia Kelly 
Review By: Georgie Jessup 

If you only get to hear "If These Walls Could Talk" you would do yourself a favor by picking up this CD. I happen to love sweet country waltzes but everything about this beautiful country song rings true for me! Julia tells a story that reflects a hard reality: this country and our psyche chooses to not remember the dark side of it's history. But Julia makes the hard pill go down easy with this story of slaves and masters who are after all, "only human" too.

And Grandma should be smiling with the happy opening song on this CD. "Grandma's Arms" certainly makes you feel warm 

and fuzzy thinking about the wonderful relationship that is exposed between the singer and her Grandmother. Julia's sincere vocal delivery is only highlighted by the joyful mandolin work provided by co-producer Seth Connelly. "These Two Hands" is kind of a book end to "Grandma's Arms". Once again Seth's mandolin helps set the mood and his harmony vocal is a great compliment for Julia's strong, yet delicate, lead vocals.

Why Can't Peace Be Patriotic too" and "Oh By The Way" could be too political for some listeners but Julia makes them intimate stories and personal for the listener. Those who may feel that way don't have to leave their comfort zone with Julia and Seth's approach. And yes why can't peace be patriotic too? If we ever get that answer, bottle it. 

But this CD, ("These Two Hands"), is not political or preachy. It is about love and family and respect for all human beings; even the ones we don't particularly like all that much. Remembering those things and honoring those who taught us to live and approach life with love and peace may one day fulfill Julia's dedication, on the liner notes for, "a world of peace, tolerance and respect." It's not just a dream and Julia helps make it a reality! Buy this CD. DJ's play this CD!
