We are back this week with an interview with Pierce Turner. Pierce is an Irish singer songwriter currently based in New York. His new album "Terrible Good" is available now on Storysound records.
Turner’s description of Terrible Good, is crystal clear. “It is my first real electric guitar album,” he says, adding “it’s an album with a New York edge.” Electric guitars definitely are central to Terrible Good, arising from his collaboration with guitarist/producer Gerry Leonard (David Bowie, Rufus Wainwright, Suzanne Vega). These fellow Irish expats (who met years ago when Leonard mixed sound at a club where Turner often played) are both fans of Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Television, and Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac. While this shared affinity might seep into a song on occasion, Turner shares that “I like to learn from the past, but not imitate it – to take it somewhere else while using every lesson learned.”
We had such a great chat with Pierce, a true gent.
Also in this weeks episode we cover Russia, the sad death of Mark Lanegan, Six Nations and review of Terrible Good and Leon Bridges new album Texas Moon. Hope you enjoy it.
