The album captures the essence of traditional blues while infusing it with Robillard’s own musical sensibilities. The guitar work is soulful and expressive, with Robillard’s nimble fingers delivering captivating solos and melodic lines.
Guitarist Duke Robillard emphasized the rocking blues and barrelhouse side of his musical personality on this ’91 session that highlighted what was then his band. Vocalist Susan Forrest provided a lusty, sensual quality while bassist Scott Appelrough and drummer Doug Hinman laid down sparse rhythmic backgrounds. Robillard provided the lead guitar presence and energy, adding more flashy chords, riffs, licks and driving solos than on his more restrained jazz-based material.
Some notable tracks on Turn It Around include the title track “Turn It Around,” “I Think You Know,” and “Down By The Delta.” The album also features guest appearances from notable musicians such as Roomful of Blues horn section and harmonica player Sugar Ray Norcia.
