"Turning Point is the new chapter in Ole Ask`s exploration of American roots music, telling the stories of his daily life. Friends and lovers, cups of coffee, taxis, neon signs,sunsets, words written on a wall fill the songs on this second release from Ask. His distinctive voice and strong songwriting recalls Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrrison Without a shred of inflection from his native Norway. Ask sings like a modern traveling blues roadmaster and lays dowen the grooves with friends Bruce McCabe of Jonny Lang`s Band, Willie Murphy, Billy Franze, Jimmy Behringer and a host of the Twin Cities best players."
