Rural Folk Blues is the soundtrack for World on Fire, the recent release from Reed Turchi. Sunday morning Blues in the salvational march of opening track, “Walk with Me”, the lonesome Blues of “Highway 51”, the late-night groove in “When You’ve Got a Good Friend”, and the Blues crawl of “Backdoor Man”. The sound is the music Reed Turchi fell in love with as a teenager, Hill Country Blues. Sonically, the emotions of the words are wrapped with live music; World on Fire recorded live over two nights, with no edits or overdubs on the final mix. 
 
Health and life upheavals were that background for Reed Turchi as he headed into the recording of the World on Fire. He shared that ‘as terrible as my illness made me feel, what shook me was not knowing what was happening. I was getting steadily worse and worse despite new prescriptions, and so it seemed like my time on earth was running out. My perspective on everything just completely changed. I knew I needed to transform my life, and I felt I didn’t have the luxury of time, so I set it all on fire at once: divorce, leaving Nashville, moving to New York to pursue something new even though there was no certainty, or insurance, or savings, or back up plan’.
 
A heartbeat thump drives “Morning Train” as a shuffled drumbeat is the bed for “Lay My Burden Down” while a slow dance sway is in the revolving rhythms for “Someday Baby” and a hesitant groove hears the pleas of “Don’t Leave Me Baby”. Reed Turchi creates a time capsule for where he is in his own life by curating an audio representation of Hill Country Blues traditions. (by Danny McCloskey)
