Synopsis

Product Description
The former lead singer of Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteens Rising Force, and Deep Purple, powerhouse vocalist Joe Lynn Turner delivers his first new album in five years called Second Hand Life - The Deluxe Edition. It is his first project for the Friday Music label, which further adds another chapter to his already legendary career.

This album comes with three new bonus tracks, two only available on hard-to-find releases overseas, plus one unique track nowhere else but on the compact disc version of this incredible new album.

Things kick off with the rockin Your Love Is Life . Amazing hooks, strong Turner vocalizing and dazzling guitar work from his longtime guitarist Karl Cochran thrill the listener as to what is in store for the rest of the entire disc.

The title track, Second Hand Life written with his good friend Jim Peterik (Survivor) continue the tradition of classic rock sounds as only JLT can offer- with a strong chorus, a skillful rhythm section with Karl Cochran on guitar, co-producer Bob Held on bass , Michael Cartellone on drums, and Gary Corbett rounding things off on keys.

A nice surprise awaits the Deep Purple and Rainbow fans with a new tune composed by Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jim Peterik and JLT called Stroke Of Midnight With the time honored stamp of genius from this powerful songwriting crew, this track has all the elements you would expect and more. Well worth the price of admission.

More hard rocking tracks like Blood Red Sky , Off The Hook and the sultry Cruel will please his ever growing fan base, both old and new alike. This is some amazing stuff folks, guaranteed to please.

As a special treat, JLT has gone to the vaults and has found a very rare version of his classic Freedom s Wings , only available as a bonus track on this new compact disc. It is just one of many surprises that will leave you wanting to hear this album more and more.

"Joe Lynn Turner has not released anything I didn't think was amazing. This guy can sing!! I have tried my best to find everything Turner has put his voice on because he is that good. If you love hard rock with melodic songs this is your man. Joe sings circles around most rock singers of any era."
Very good album from AOR vet Joe Lynn Turner...

"What Joe Lynn Turner does best is AOR rock with touches of metal and blues mixed in, and Second Hand Life delivers exactly that. I've been a fan since he was in Rainbow, but hadn't bought an album since Rescue You. I've heard individual songs, but this was the first full album I've listened to since then and he hasn't missed a beat. JLT sounds as good as ever and continues to work with other great musicians/songwriters like; Jim Peterik, Jack Ponti and the "reunion" with Ritchie Blackmore and Roger Glover has me salivating at the thought of a true Rainbow reunion.



The songs themselves cover all the bases from rockers to ballads and highlights include: Got Me Where You Want Me(a moody and bluesy tune), Second Hand Life(a riffy rocker), In Your Eyes(a very nice ballad), Stroke Of Midnight(Blackmore, Glover collaberation), Two Lights and Freedom's Wings(a couple of mid-tempo songs).



Overall, Second Hand Life is a very good piece of melodic/AOR rock and reminded me of just how good Joe Lynn Turner can be."
WOW!

"Feeling disconnected with today's music scene? Craving a little taste of the 80's? Joe Lynn turner delivers this and more on Second Hand Life!



Joe proves that he can still belt out the soaring vocals. Combine this with an extremely tight back-up band and catchy lead breaks (remeber when songs used to have actual guitar solos) you will get your 80's fix in an updated format.



RAINBOW FANS TAKE NOTE!



(No really, this is a great album!)"
