Ringo Starr once said you had first to pay your dues if you wanted to sing the blues Certainly Clarence Turner has paid them because his life has not exactly been easy, he has lived hard times and first hand experienced what the blues means, which is nothing than a large dose of reality, pure deep love, painful or hard desperation but, at the same time, great moments of joy and happiness In Clarence’s music your will find all the passion he feels when he plays and sings a so genuine blues like Texas one in the path of Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland or Albert King The true thing is he discovered blues when he was a child listening to his father’s blues record collection and only aged eight, he decided his life would always be linked to the blues Besides an intense singer, Clarence deeply loves his guitar so, over the years, he has developed a careful stimulating sound which has made him won fans respect and admiration Eight original songs and three covers, all extremely well performed by Clarence and his band with Sean Graves on drums, Charles Pearson on keyboards, David Satterwhite on bass, Gene Meros on saxes and Gary Hendrickson on trumpet, round up a vibrant warm and dynamic album, able to break in small pieces the daily routine of everyone who listens to it
