Review

Turner's fourth album, Sonora is his finest work to date, featuring a mix of spacious, powerful solo guitar pieces, and collaborations with a whos-who of some of North Americas most sought-after instrumentalists, including violinist Hugh Marsh (Bruce Cockburn, Loreena McKennitt), fretless bass wizard Michael Manring (John Gorka, Michael Hedges), and cellist Anne Bourne (Jane Siberry, Loreena McKennitt). "Sonora is the perfect kind of instrumental record," says Turner. "You can sit down in a big chair with a glass of wine or a cup of tea and listen really intently all the way through, or just have it on in the background. It stands up either way. There are some sparse, introspective pieces mixed in, but even those have a certain visceral power -- this is definitely no foofy new age record. Nor is it something only guitar players will get into. Anyone who's a fan of Bruce Cockburn, Loreena McKennitt, Michael Hedges, Marshal & Anger, or Zubot and Dawson will really like this CD."
