Description
No Turning Back is an album by the New Zealand singer, songwriter, and blues guitarist Steve Apirana, released on Someone Up There Records in 1992. Also released in the UK on Alliance Music in 1996.
Blues as deep as the Grand Canyon and satisfying as an ice cream on a hot day, the scorching opener «That Same Old Road» with it’s liquid Hammond and achingly fluid guitar is as good as gospel blues gets. Elsewhere ‘No Turning Back’ ranges from «Hear Me Knockin’», recycling Elmore James riffs to produce a socking rendition of Revelation 3:20 and the delicate acoustic ballad «I Choose To Follow» which has harmonies a ringer for all those soft rock groups out of ’70s California. Steve’s natural musical eclecticism may deter album purchasers, but the eight tracks here (fear not, you still get 46 minutes of music) have the fluid ambience of a master musician. A fine album.
