Announcing The Debut CD Release on the Intimate Audio Label:
INTERPRETATIONS – An intimate recording of solo arrangements for acoustic guitar and voice.
This first official release from the INTIMATE AUDIO label features 10 inventive versions of ‘60s-’70s era cover songs, ranging from Queen’s "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the Beach Boys’ "God Only Knows," to Jimi Hendrix’s "Castles Made of Sand" and Harry Nilsson’s "Coconut." (All mechanical licenses have been obtained.)
Arranged and performed by acoustic guitarist/vocalist Dale Turner, INTERPRETATIONS is far from a routine ride through the classic tracks of yesteryear. Over the course of this disc’s 40 minutes, Turner takes 10 timeless tunes and steers them into largely uncharted territory—most notably in his treatment of epics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" (his one-man adaptation of this song’s famed "Galileo" section is just plain scary) and funky folk freak outs like "Coconut" (an ultra-intense exploration of Nilsson’s original one-chord vamp). Applying new twists to acoustic classics like "Blackbird" (replete with Turner’s bewildering "bird" sounds) and "Sweet Baby James" (played at a slower tempo, with a "swing" feel), Turner also takes on piano-based gems like "God Only Knows" (Beach Boys) and "She’s Always a Woman" (Billy Joel). It is during these performances, as well as haunting renditions of "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen) and "Leader of the Band" (Dan Fogelberg), where Turner truly reveals the depths of his vocal abilities. Meanwhile, guitar players—particularly Hendrix fans—will rejoice over the all-acoustic treatment of "Castles Made of Sand" (featuring another Turner trademark: a little "mouth guitar" solo) that appears in this set’s closing moments.
All songs were recorded "live" in Turner’s bedroom/office, with three microphones running simultaneously to capture the raw performances. Originally recorded in December 2000 (as a Christmas gift for Turner’s mother), this CD has since been "remixed"—in stunning sound quality—and is now available as the first official release on the INTIMATE AUDIO label (released January 2004).
Dedicated to Jeff Buckley, INTERPRETATIONS also features extensive liner notes paying homage to the late singer-songwriter/interpretive artist, as well track-by-track information detailing Turner’s unique arrangements.
