Turner, Eddie - Rise
Eddie Turner is one of the best blues guitarists alive, and his debut CD for NorthernBlues demonstrates not only his prowess with the instrument, but his terrific songwriting as well.
Born in Cuba and raised in Chicago,Eddie Turner's influences stem from both the Afro-Cuban rhythms of his heritage and his immersion in the music of the time - Blues, Rock and R&B.
