Chris Turner - Rocks
BRCD/055 $25.00
Three years in the making, this album of original songs is a showcase of the many musical styles that this professional entertainer has developed over a lifetime. His lyrics are wicked as well as brutal, telling it like it is. From the plaintive cry of One More Gig to the ominous As I Lay Dyin, his songs will make you ask, "Is he singing about me?"
His guitar playing follows this soulful journey with the blues arrangement of ‘Waltzing Matilda’ on to tracks like 5th Street Boogie and the free form Blowin' Smoke. Twilight Jail will have you wondering about your own mortality, whilst, like a lot of this album, your feet will be boppin'. Chris Turner Rocks is an apt title for this collection from Chris Turner.
Old Blue Dogs - Take One & Take Two
Take One: This is an acoustic rendition of some classic blues tunes, recoded in a very organic and pure blues style. Alex Smith's vocals and guitar blend perfectly with Chris Turner's guitar and slide to give you, the listener, the blues experience of a lifetime.
Take Two: This is the electric album of the set. Recorded absolutely live in the studio, this collection of blues is the epidemy of what electric blues should be. Alex and Chris are augmented by Bondi Cigars man Alan Britton, and blues luminary Jim Finn. The result is a superb collection of music for your listening pleasure. This set is a must for your car, home and device.
Chris Turner Band - Live 1979-1984
BRCD/55 $25.00
This collection of live tracks was produced by Ken Buckman at Yap Yap Studios and this is his choice of "live desk recordings" from The Chis Turner Band.
This is a small window into a hardworking man and his band between the years of 1979 through 1984. The energy and live arrangements are an eye opener in today's suppressed and politically correct live music scene.
Turner & Simmons - Double Header
When two acoustical players sing and play together, augmented with percussion and friendly electric slide guitar, this, ladies and gentlemen, is what you get. Chris Turner and Phill Simmons got together every Thursday for the duration of this recording; the sum total of their combined Thursday output. Add anyone who dropped by the studio on a Thursday; Rick E. Livid, Max Paton, The Wasted Seamen and Shane O’ Farrell and Double Header was here, for your listening pleasure. With its country, blues and MOR influences this is a worthy addition to your CD collection - a very melodic album.
Hot Shots
This is a classic Australian Rock Album in The Tattoo, AC/DC tradition. Recorded and Produced by Rob Grosser at Disgraceland Studio, it brings together Rob Grosser, Tim Gaze, Chris Turner & Al Britton. Classic covers were recorded virtually live and the results speak for themselves. This album has been nominated for Best New Blues Album, Best Blues Vocalist and Best Blues Song. An absolute must for lovers of Aussie Rock.
Blues Pirates
BRCD/051-2 $25.00
The long awaited debut for the Blues Pirates is finally here! Thirteen tracks of pure acoustic blues mixed up with some modern technology brings six-string sparring pals Chris Turner and Cletis Carr together for the first time on tape. And look for a hidden gem featuring Pirate-At-Large, Pete Wells.
Chris Turner - Guitar Stories Vol. 1
This instrumental album is as diverse as it is surprising. Chris Turner shows a wide range of material and guitar styles. His choice of originals and arrangements of old favourites combine to make this a must for all lovers of guitar music, be it blues, country or even classic. Turner's version of "Oh Donna" gives hint to his English beginnings and ‘Shadowy' past whilst his composition ‘Sea Mist' is imagery at its best. The 12-page booklet contains anecdotes from Turner's life on the road.
Chris Turner and the Wolftones - No Bollocks, Just Rock
A rollicking album in the tradition of Aussie pub rock. Chris Turner's bands have been belting out his brand of blues & rock n' roll for many years. This album is no exception. An experienced front man, Chris drives the Wolftones; - Chop Chop Charlie, Robin Jackson and Terry Malone, through some old favourites as well as some nice originals. The album was produced by Pete Wells who also guests on slide. Be warned, track 4 is the notorious "Have A Nice Day!" - not recommended for wowsers! Chris Turner's rock guitar playing is legendary; this together with his Wolftones makes this a solid rock album.
