This is a serious kick ass acoustic blues album for the 21st century. 'File Under Carnal Knowledge' is the second release from blues-singer-songwriter Stuart Turner and is a tight, concise, fully formed album. A set of songs and performances that really do work best in the order they have been presented to you. The album runs the full gamut of the styles Stuart himself likes listening to. From the delta-styled resonator-driven 'Here Be Monsters', through the psychedelic jazz boogie of 'Nanny And The Fireship', all horns and fury. From the swampy hill blues of 'The Past (Is A Strange Country)', to the rockabilly skiffle of 'Hickicker Blues', all slap-back and spoons. From the lush balladry of 'Love Letters', to the stark traditional folk of 'The Deserter'. Stuart is possessed of a voice way beyond his years (still a man only in his early thirties) and a firm belief that blues and blues based music is neither dead in need of stuffing in mothballs.

It is shorter, sharper and full of light and shade provided by more varied instrumentation, from trumpets to hurdy gurdies! It also features a variety of collaborations with other musicians. Label mate and guitar hero Kris Dollimore, (ex Godfathers / Dammed / Del Amitri and now solo blues musician), adds some simply excellent guitar and vocal to the field recording inspired gospel of Fred McDowell's 'You Gotta Move'. Croydon based duo 'Cellar Door', (otherwise known as Aimee Grinter and M...
