    Valoración: GREAT

Benny Turner follows his brother’s (the unforgettable and exceptional Freddie King) legacy, carrying the blues all over the world Both learned all blues secrets from his mother Ella Mae (King) Turner As he also did with his brother, Benny Turner’s new album is a tribute to their dearest mother in her death anniversary, and includes six tracks from his first recording and four blues standards, where Turner shows himself as a powerful gospel, soul, blues and rhythm and blues singer, besides an energetic able bass player In fact Benny hardened himself in his brother’s band and, when Freddie passed away only aged 42, he suffered a terrible depression for about two years, because Freddie was for him, not only his elder brother but also a friend and even a father Thanks to Chicago blues singer and guitar player Mighty Joe Young, he came back on stage and soon he led Marva Wright’s band This is a marvellous recording, both in performing as well as arrangements and final production, where Benny Turner and all the musicians involved sound really superb
