Americká sopranistka Julia Bullocková sa pohybuje na pomedzí operného, koncertného a jazzového repertoáru. Jej debut spája prvky klasickej hudby, jazzu a spirituálov v osobitom programe.
Album Walking In The Dark na vinyle v digisleeve obale vyšiel na vydavateľstve Nonesuch. Najznámejšou skladbou nahrávky je Knoxville: Summer of 1915 Samuela Barbera na text Jamesa Ageeho, dielo z roku 1947 pôvodne objednané sopranistkou Eleanor Steberovou. Na albume zaznejú aj úpravy klasických spirituálov a piesní autorov ako Connie Conversová či Sandy Denny. Bullockovú sprevádza londýnsky Philharmonia Orchestra pod vedením dirigenta Christiana Reifa, ktorý tiež hrá na klavíri v komornejšie ladených číslach.
