Latest Solo Album Reviews
“Second Hand Life”. a must have for the still many lovers of quality AOR and melodic rock, that are visiting this here site.
With a career now spanning over thirty years and with at least 60 album credits in the pocket, Joe Lynn Turner has proven that he’s one of the best melodic rock singers ever. You and I know him from bands like Fandango, Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force, Deep Purple, Mother’s Army and Hughes Turner Project and each time he delivered the goods. Needless to say that this is once again the case with this 10th solo album is his entire career, that brings us back to his melodic roots. A look at the list of songwriters, which includes Ritchie Blackmore, Martin Briley, Karl Cochran (g, b), Roger Glover, Bob Held (b) and Jim Peterik is enough to know that quality is guaranteed (once again). Says Joe: “I would describe the new album as a hybrid between ‘The Usual Suspects’ and ‘Sunstorm’, my recent studio project which received more positive reviews than any of my solo CDs since ‘Rescue You’. I felt that the fans wanted to hear more music in this melodic rock vein. So … I think we delivered on this album.” All I can add is that he has succeeded with flying colours. All tracks are great and so is this whole album. JLT rules … - http://www.rockreport.be
The last time I saw Joe Lynn Turner in concert was at the end of last May. While on a personal holiday, I had a chance to see him perform in two, of his four sold out shows, while in Japan. I must admit that after seeing those two shows - including the experience of meeting and rockin' out with my most gracious hosts - the Japanese fans - that experience, in all honesty, will always be the biggest highlight of this American's life. Yet, as I flew back to the states, in the back of my mind, I had a secret wish that someday I would be able to get the chance to enjoy the music of the native New Jerseyan, in front of a sold out crowd, right here in my own backyard.
