Joe Turner - Chante Le Blues
Review by Francis Bacon
Chante Le Blues by Joe Turner is a classic blues album that showcases the singer's exceptional talent and passion for the genre. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are performed with Turner's signature soulful style.
From the opening track, "Roll 'Em Pete," to the closing number, "How Long Blues," Turner delivers powerful vocals that are both raw and emotive. His voice is perfectly complemented by the bluesy instrumentation, which includes piano, saxophone, and guitar.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Cherry Red," a song that showcases Turner's ability to tell a story through his music. The lyrics are both playful and poignant, and the melody is infectious.
