Review, Could Have Talked All Night CD
Asheville, N.C.''s Dave Turner serves up candid and visceral portraits of real life against a hearty background of piano driven songs. Utlizing the tapestry of American life is either done adroitly or ham-handed, but Turner is frank in his delivery without resorting to catchiness or cliche. He focuses on family, a workingman''s life or the slippery slope that accompanies the inevitable fact of growing older.
Turner paints his themes as simple Rockwellian images, love songs or tongue-in-cheek numbers as on the aptly titled "Belly At The Bar." The piano driven ballads ("Damn, She''s Aged") and pop songs ("Not As Old As Daddy") draw on melody as much as distinct slices of life. "Tears on the Page" is an elegant nod to San Francisco and beer joints are a staple of lyrical focus on many songs - a place where life happens when one wants to avoid it or haunts for touring musicians.
Turner''s vocal timbre is akin to Van Morrison in later years with the additional salt of Leon Russell. On "Never Meant To Stay" Turner glows on the song''s chorus while back-up singers echo a la many a song by Joe Cocker.
Turner''s Could Have Talked All Night was recorded live during a single session and inadvertently added additional vibrancy to the whole. It feels more real, more in the moment. What Turner brings to the album is something that only comes with time and experience.

Review, Could Have Talked All Night CD
Hailing from Asheville, N.C., this piano rocker’s style is reminiscent of other talents such as Billy Joel and Ben Folds. The instrumentation on each track is simple and soulful, making for a very pleasant and almost nostalgic listening experience. Stephanie Morgan’s backing vocals add just that extra punch to the tracks that make the songs sound that much fuller.
Many of the songs are about life in the South and Turner’s family, along with some autobiographical experiences. The album’s first track, “Lumberton” is an excellent hook into the disc and is guaranteed to carry over into the next track. Another standout track is “Billy Ray’s Chevrolet,” which is a fun listen, all about a man and his really old Chevrolet.
It’s a great album for lovers of piano rock and Billy Joel, with a little bit of soul...

Review, Could Have Talked All Night CD
Coming from the tradition of bar-bound piano players with a tip jar full of stories to tell, Dave Turner knows how to relate a memorable story over a simple yet well-crafted melody. With nice production values and great backing performers (including Stephanie Morgan), Turner’s tunes are given a nearperfect studio treatment. At their best, his songs have the narrative depth of short stories ("Lumberton" and “Billy Ray’s Chevrolet,” in particular), and while some tend towards the melancholy, the songs never overstay their welcome...

From live show review
Turner ... comes from a musical world where Sir Elton John is king...best described as Americana with a British twist.

FROM THE ARTIST''S WEB SITE
https://www.tradebit.com
"Could Have Talked All Night" is a collection of captivating, piano-driven original songs by pianist, singer and songwriter Dave Turner. He has a style all his own, but listeners will also hear influences ranging from Elton John, Billy Joel and Ben Folds to Warren Zevon, Joe Jackson, Van Morrison, Joe Cocker, Leon Russell and Tom Waits.
The album features powerful piano, soulful vocals and tales inspired by empty pockets and starry skies, Kentucky bourbon, late-night diners, old lovers, Blue Ridge mountains, California dreams, desperation, roadside shrines, hangovers, unsent letters, beer joints, bar buddies, staying put and getting away.
It listens like a read through a collection of short stories told with a southern sensibility steeped in the mountains of North Carolina, yet flavored by the streets of San Francisco and experiences along the highways of America.
