Naked Flame Review
The Naked Flame draws upon Ivan Julian s extensive musical background, while exploring some exciting new songwriting territory. Such rousing original compositions as The Waves , Hardwired and A Young Man s Money combine raw-nerved electricity with adult lyrical insight, while the bittersweet You Is Dead meditates upon loss with warmth and humor. In addition to Julian s own compositions, The Naked Flame features a pair of inspired cover tunes: a haunting reworking of Lucinda Williams Broken Butterfly and a bracing reading of The Beat , originally recorded by Alejandro Escovedo s old new wave outfit the Nuns.
