NEW YORK (AP) — “Walking in the Dark,” Julia Bullock (Nonesuch) No one who has followed Julia Bullock’s career will be surprised that her first solo album is made up of unconventional and deeply personal choices.
The next number, “One by One” by Connie Converse, allows Bullock to display the beauty of her warm, vibrato-rich sound. This haunting song, written by a little-known composer who led a troubled life and disappeared at age 50, depicts for Bullock “the inevitability of solitude ... something we all have to deal with.”
The next two numbers take us back to piano accompaniment and reflect Bullock’s heritage and keen awareness of racial injustice. First is the traditional spiritual “City Called Heaven,” followed by what Bullock calls “a 20th century spiritual,” — “I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free,” by Dick Dallas and Billy Taylor.
In the space of 15 minutes, Barber and Agee conjure up a childhood memory of summer twilight, the warmth of a loving family, and the terror and inevitability of death. Bullock said she was drawn to the piece in part because her father died when she was 9, as Agee’s did when he was 6.“Knoxville” was commissioned by soprano Eleanor Steber and has been recorded by many since, including by Price, yet Bullock’s version sounds fresh and deeply felt.
