23 March, 2004 Announcing the Debut CD Release on the INTIMATE AUDIO Label: INTERPRETATIONS An Intimate Recording of Solo Arrangements for Acoustic Guitar and Voice. 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 discs 40 minutes, Turner takes 10 timeless tunes and steers them into largely uncharted territorymost notably in his treatment of epics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" (his one-man adaptation of this songs famed "Galileo" section is just plain scary) and funky folk freak outs like "Coconut" (an ultra-intense exploration of Nilssons original one-chord vamp). Applying new twists to acoustic classics like "Blackbird" (replete with Turners 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 "Shes 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 playersparticularly Hendrix fanswill rejoice over the all-acoustic treatment of "Castles Made of Sand" (featuring another Turner trademark: a little "mouth guitar" solo) that appears in this sets closing moments. Originally recorded in December 2000 (as a Christmas gift for Turners mother), this CD has since been "remixed"in stunning sound qualityand 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 Turners unique arrangements. Mandatory listening for fans of multi-faceted fretwork and edgy, eclectic vocals.
