The MOST AMAZING PURE TALENT EVER!, October 15, 2009
This review is from: Mississippi Maserati Breakdown (Audio CD)
This album has been in my collection for over 20 years. I can't put into words how much I love the harmonies and the pure energy and the rhythms. EVERYONE should experience this album! Pure Musicianship. The way music originally sounded when artists performed live without being "retouched" in the studios!

MBCBS EX-PRESS (My Brain Can't Be Saved) Spring Issue Review, February 15, 2003
This review is from: Mississippi Maserati Breakdown (Audio CD)
Growing up I was subjected to EVERY type of music. Listening to this album brought back memories of being in my dad's car with his collection of 8-tracks of country & western music. The band labels themselves "Fusion Rockabilly". This is not your typical country (no dead dogs, getting out of prison,etc.) music. The musicianship and production of this album is top notch. The title track "Mississippi Maserati Breakdown", and "Rip It Up" are really [butt]-kickin, get-up-and-dance music. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes Rockabilly music. The album contains 11 cuts, some original, some cover. My favorites, besides the two I mentioned, would be "Working Man Blues", and their versions of "Turn Around" and "Time Won't Let Me".

nightanddayonline.com CD RELEASES, February 15, 2003
This review is from: Mississippi Maserati Breakdown (Audio CD)
"Time Won't Let Me" is the first track on Bill Turner & Blue Smoke's new release, "Mississippi Maserati Breakdown." Setting the table for the musical spread that follows, it's a song with a unique, yet familiar sound. Unique because it's retro 50's rock mixed with folk picks that the local scene hasn't seen the likes of in a while; familiar because we may have heard it all before. Turner was a bandmate of Bill Haley's from 1974-1977, and the CD mixes original work with previously released classics. All in all, this album capitulates big ideas with highly conceptualized elements. Anyone who likes 50's rock or folk music will definitely enjoy the 11 carefully selected tunes.

Smokin' With Bill Turner & Blue Smoke, February 7, 2003
This review is from: Mississippi Maserati Breakdown (Audio CD)
They call it "fusion rockabilly." I don't know what to call it, but it sure IS different; somewhere between Nashville and Las Vegas, with some weird side trips in between. Production is so bright...ya gotta wear shades! Very nice package. 11 songs, CD and cassette.
