Artist: Luka Bloom
Title: Turf
Year of Release: June, 1994
Record Label: Warner Brothers
Genre: Pop, I guess.
Luka Bloom is an electro-acoustic guitar player and singer from Ireland. Most of his earlier songs have limited accompanyment and really showcase his guitar work which started off in a much different finger plucking style than his current strumming style. This is the result of his continuous bout with tendonitus.
Turf is, I believe, Luka Bloom's third US release. At the time of it's release, it really detailed the maturity of his song craft. His songs range from stories of love (To Begin To), death (Sanctuary) and political righteousness (Freedom Song). His guitar work is always warm and inviting.
My personal favorites are To Begin To and Sunny Sailor Boy. I have also been lucky enough to see Luka live twice, once at a tiny little club in Ann Arbor, MI called the Blind Pig after or just before the release of Turf. For me this this disk is a reminder of a big change in my musical tastes.
The only negitive thing about this disk is that, I believe there were either two or three recording studios or multiple producers, which has become more discernable since getting my ML's.
