Mississippi songwriter on his way to Opelika by
Jason Turner is a singer-songwriter of the Southern persuasion. He moved back to his native Jackson, Miss. in 2008, following a four year stint in Nashville. In 2009, Turner started his own record label, Planet T Records, and released his first official album, titled “13 years,” so named because of his time in the music business. The album is a far cry from his experimental teenage recordings, which Turner jokingly recalls being mistaken for Stevie Nicks at times because of his young voice. Turner plays his unique bombast of country blues-rock and confessional americana all over the southeast, doing approximately 200 shows a year. He will be appearing with his band at Eighth and Rail Friday, Sept. 24. Jason Turner's “13 Years” is a simple and honest affair, an album of 10 songs about longing and the wish to escape the various prisons of missed opportunities and broken relationships. Turner is a straightforward songwriter, telling small, confessional stories in plain talk. The introspective lyrics are matched by good old American balladry and mid-tempo strum fests. Turner's country rock roots are on full display on “13 Years” and at its best, he shines as a capable songwriter, an original voice in a well-worn genre. The production is slick throughout the album and at times sounds a little too polished for the heartbreakers and honest apology songs that he delivers here. “13 Years” is not too sugary to swallow by any means, but it would easier to hear Turner's sincerity without all the gloss and reverb. The stand out track and album opener, “Hotter than the Sun,” is a catchy rocker with an infectious chorus that looks back on a ending relationship with whimsical eyes. Most of the songs on the album invite comparisons to Ryan Adams, John Mellencamp and even John Mayer, but Turner's maturity, strong melodies and avoidance of clichés allow him to stake a small, well-earned claim in the shadow of those striding giants of pop and Americana. Other notable tracks are “Tonight,” “Haunt Me” and “Imperfect and True.” “13 Years” is available now on iTunes and at Jason Turner's website: www.jasonturnerband.com.
