"Within this cohesive collection of tracks, the singer belts out blues- basted and soulful tunes and nestles into folk and country material with grit and wisdom. She even cleanly expresses the pop side of her musical being. Christensen does all this with a potent genuineness which bumps her latest album up a level, wielding a renewed musical mission statement."--Josef Woodard, 2012

Morton Report--Bill Bentley
"There is searing resolve in these songs, whether it's Jim Lauderdale's "Slow Motion Trouble" or her own "My Lucky Stars." Over 35 years into her professional career the singer sounds fully at home in the middle of the Americana movement, but at the same time remains very much her own person. Call her a permanent rebel, or maybe a singer on a march, but either way Julie Christensen continues to search for clues wherever the music takes her. What a ride."--Bill Bentley, Bentley's Bandstand on the Morton Report 5/16/12

"...On her new record, Weeds Like Us, Christensen returns to her folk-rock roots — gloriously. After singing and recording for years with Leonard Cohen, performing with the punk roots band Divine Horsemen in the’80s and working as a cabaret singer, at this stage of her career she finds tuneful simplicity rooted in her love of the Gram Parsons sound, colored with the raw emotionality of the ’70s."
