Each song that Henry performs on his CD will seep into your subconscious, and stay with you for a very long time. Every one of Henry’s songs is an entire three or, four minute story that unfolds in your mind as you are listening to them. Henry’s songs have a way of transporting you to another place, and time that perhaps you have already lived through at one point in your life.
Henry’s music on this CD, and so many other songs I’ve had the privilege of playing on my radio show can have you up on your feet dancing around your office or, his ballads can have you reliving an old “Love Affair” from days gone by. His music evokes so many different emotions in you that you want to laugh one second, and they can open up a flood gate of tears in the next breath; because, you can identify so closely with each heart rendering word that is searing your heart with love’s hot embers, that have never truly died within you. Henry Turner Jr. is one of the twenty first century’s greatest singer/songwriters on this planet, and don’t ever make the mistake of thinking you can pigeon hole Henry by saying he can only perform one genre of music. Henry is one musician who has a way of capturing the pure essence of every genre of music he chooses to perform.

Producer, vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Henry Turner, Jr.'s lead intricate guitar work is superb on this romantic mid-tempo number, but his smooth and mellow vocals make the song memorable. This incredible former lead vocalist of the fabulous Crystal band of the early '80's proves that his voice, style and delivery have only improved, and this is a song he was meant to sing.

School activities include talking with and perfoming for students, as well as appearing at chartible events when his schedule allows him to do so. He also encourages and promotes young Louisiana artists through opportunities offered at his recording studio, Turner's Recording Studio, Baton Rouge, LA, bookings on events he produces and on his weekly radio show, HCR Golden Vibes, www.blogtalkradio.com/hcrgoldenvibes.
