Our Take

IKE TURNER The Early Years, where do we even begin? This album is a wild ride through the musical genius of one of rock 'n' roll's controversial figures.

From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, you're transported back to the heyday of the 1950s and 60s, when Ike Turner was making waves in the music industry. The raw energy of tracks like "Rocket 88" and "I'm Lonesome Baby" will have you dancing around your living room faster than you can say "Nutbush City Limits."

But let's not sugarcoat it - Ike Turner was a complex character, to say the least. His tumultuous personal life often overshadowed his musical talent, but on this album, we're reminded of why he was such a force to be reckoned with in his prime.

The production on The Early Years is nothing short of stellar, with each instrument coming through crystal clear and the vocals packing a punch that will leave you breathless. And the songwriting? Don't even get me started. Turner's ability to craft catchy hooks and poignant lyrics is on full display here, proving that he was more than just a musician - he was a true artist.

So, strap in and get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions with IKE TURNER The Early Years. Love him or hate him, there's no denying the impact he had on the music world. This album is a must-listen for any fan of rock 'n' roll history.
