Capture The Magic Train Your Eye

Talk about an artist having a natural gift that defies their age and appearance. Ida Mae’s Chris Turpin has a voice that doesn’t just sound a little lived in, it has the kind of sandpaper roughness that normally only develops after decades spent on the road. A life lived from joint to joint, no place to call home but a roadhouse and a dimly lit stage. And the way he plays a guitar, it’s the kind of wizardry you associate with those that have been down to the crossroads and done a trade-off with the devil.
