Like alot of others discovered this band through John Mayer's myspace. Was hooked from the moment I heard the first song. Got the cd and it is awesome from start to finish. Can't wait to see them in concert one day!

Just Off Turner's "The Long Walk Back" is an awesome collection of songs - from mellow to rockin'! Been a fan for quite a while but absolutely love this new cd. Love "Bad for Business" and "How Much it Hurts", but their new "Ghost Town" and "Holiday" are quickly becoming the new favorites. Buy the cd - you will not regret it!

This cd is incredible! Every song is better than the last. John Mayer gave them a great review on his own myspace page and he couldn't be more right! Every song speaks to someone's own experiences. Great gift for any fan of music. This band will surely be exploding very soon and I will be glad to have gotten in as a true fan before the general public caught on to how great they are.

I went to hear Just Off Turner in Little Rock, Ark., a few weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend. I went in knowing nothing about 'em; I left a big fan, a copy of The Long Walk Back in my hands.

These are four regular guys -- the kind who like to hang out, talk with you, have a few beers and play some music. Great music. Hell, incredible music, well-crafted songs that make you think, "THAT'S what rock is supposed to be like!" It's not mass-produced drivel meant to top charts. Instead they put clever lyrics to compelling tunes and manage to have you singing along by the end of a song you've never heard before. Their musicianship is not to be scoffed at; each of them plays well and with passion and energy.

I was exceptionally pleased to discover I liked them every bit as much on the CD as I did live. Plus, there's an added bonus of getting to play songs over and over and over ... you'll want to. These are catchy songs, but they also have a depth missing from, oh, virtually everything on popular radio. With just guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, Just Off Turner crafts exceptional music, ear-catching rhythms that get in your blood. In addition to the title song, I find myself singing along to Ghost Town (which is now my MySpace song), Don't Have To Do It Alone, Just Go, Holiday and others. They also show a remarkable dexterity in style, with slower, mellower songs just as engaging as the energetic ones.

If Just Off Turner plays near you, go see them. These guys are just starting to build a following, so here's a chance to honestly earn the right to say, "I remember these guys when...." And chances are, they'll remember you, too, for coming out and supporting them. All four are genuine and likable, apt to hang out after the show and shoot the breeze with everybody, take pics, goof off and have a few drinks.

And buy the album! You will NOT regret it!

It's rare to hear a CD where you like EVERY song, and this is one of those CD's. I wake up with the songs in my head and I listen to it over and over again, never tiring of the soulful voice and the intense lyrics.

The mark of great music is that it stays with you long after it stops...this album is filled with songs you can't help but sing along with and feel deeply.

Every second of this CD is absolutely amazing! I find that each song resonates with me on different levels. Some of the songs are slow, soulful and really tug at your heart strings. Others just make you want to get up and dance. All of them are beautifully written, both lyrically and instrumentally. I was fortunate enough to see the band live in Michigan this fall. If you buy this CD, you'll quickly see it's worth every penny.

I first heard this group on John Mayer's Myspace..I heard "How Much it Hurts" I instantly fell in love with the song. I bought the cd and I love the cd. If you enjoy John Mayer, Lifehouse, or Jonny Lang..You will def. love this cd! Enjoy!!!

I found out about Just Off Turner from John Mayer's Myspace blog and he was right, they are amazing! I saw them in NY a few weeks ago and they really rocked it! Great sound...Great lyrics--definitely buy the CD and check them out if they're in your area!

The whole cd is amazing. Most cd's have a couple of good songs and then the rest you skip over. Not this one, you won't want to miss any of them. Just Off Turner is an extremely talented group, both lyrically and musically.
