Joshua Lee Turner - Public Life Full Album (Official) | Josh Turner Guitar

In his sophomore album, Public Life, Joshua Lee Turner weighs his life as a touring musician against a newfound appreciation for time spent at home. Turner embraces imperfection and limitation, choosing to record the album almost entirely to 4-track cassette and producing, mixing, and filming it in his apartment. With stripped-down arrangements, intimate lyrics, and virtuosic guitar playing, Public Life blends 1970s sounds with 2020 contemplations of home, friendship, work, and social media.

I struggle for words . . . I've watched and listened to you for over a decade now and still I'm unable to express how that seeing and hearing makes me feel. You are at once a virtuoso on guitar (and pretty much every other stringed instrument you get your hands on) , a gifted singer with a voice that continues to season and mellow beyond expectations, a modern minstrel/troubadour, this generation's cultural poet laureate, and an obviously genuinely nice guy who attracts other gifted musical artists like moths to a flame. I'm old, so I won't get to see how far this actually goes. But, it will clearly go very, very far. What you do is undeniable and unstoppable. I'm honored to bask in the generosity of your gift to us all. Thank you.
