Release Notes:
Turner has been kicking around the NYC folk scene
for quite a few years now, but this is, perhaps
inexplicably, his first foray onto wax. While most
æsinger / songwriters' these days seem to draw most
of their water from Iron and Wine via Pavement and
back again, Turner sounds like he began his musical
education listening to Gershwin player piano rolls
and quit buying records somewhere around the time
Dylan brought it all back home. Lyrically, Turner
can turn a phrase with the best of 'em, and the
gloriously ramshackle accompaniment is Mungo Jerry
meets Herman Dune sharing a squat in Tin Pan Alley.
This LP combines two of Turner's self-released CDs,
and is as good an introduction to his wonderful
music as any. Here's what Jeweled Antler head honcho
Glenn Donaldson sez about Turner: "Cody is pre-war,
Old Testament & A Confederate General from Big Sur."
