JULIAN PIPER’S GUITAR AND SLIDE GUITAR CAN BE HEARD ON THE FOLLOWING RECORDINGS:

JUNKYARD ANGELS ‘’Dirty Work At The Cross Roads’’, BSW. Recorded in 1988 at studios belonging to Martin Barre of "Jethro Tull" with the band touring line-up of Julian Piper (gtr, vcls), Steve Ewart (b), Dave Eustace (dms) and Craig Milverton (kbds).

JUNKYARD ANGELS ‘’Lonesome La La’’, BSW. The band's second album recorded in 1994 where they were joined by Jeff Fuller on harmonica and vocals, with the Louisiana influence to the fore.

SILAS HOGAN ‘’The Godfather’’ - BSW. During his stay in Louisana, Julian and 76 year old Silas Hogan became firm friends and often performed together a the Blues Box. Thisalbum, which features local Baton Rouge musicians alongside Julian on guitar and sadly proved to be Silas's last recording session. In a long career which started with Excello and included Silas's tongue-in-cheek recording "Hairy Leg Woman"(!), it was a fitting last burst of down home blues. RIP.

CAREY AND LURRIE BELL ‘’Straight Shoot’’ - BSW. Produced in four short, brandy soaked hours by Julian. This album was (amazingly) voted 2nd best Foreign Blues Album in the world in the 1987 WC HANDY AWARDS, and is a fine musical snapshot of two Chicago bluesmen at the peak of their performing creativity!

TABBY THOMAS’KING OF THE SWAMP BLUES’’ - Maison De Soul. Recorded in Baton Rouge and co-produced by Julian, Tabby has always considered this to be amongst his finest recordings.

LESTER RIDES AGAIN - BLUE HORIZON. Voted Best new release in 1988 WC HANDY AWARDS, this album was produced by Mike Vernon, whose legendary work with Eric Clapton and John Mayall has assured him a very large place in the annals of British blues history. It was to be the first release of Mike's re-vamped Blue Horizon label and Julian and the band were very honoured to be chosen to act as Lester's backing band. For an album recorded in a converted pig-sty somewhere deep in the bandit bad-lands of Essex it did rather well.

MEMPHIS IN THE MEANTIME. The new comeback R.n’B. album by 60’s star DAVE BERRY on the Blues Matters label, produced by Julian and featuring JUNKYARD ANGELS.
