Don't Tell the Driver

2013 solo album from the Australian artist best known for his work with the Dirty Three as well as Bonnie Prince Billy, Cat Power, Venom P. Stinger and others. Don't Tell the Driver is a consolidation and development of everything he's done up until now, streamlined and presented under the sophisticated umbrella known as the Rock Opera/concept album. Don't Tell the Driver is inarguably the first Post-Rock rock opera of our times by an artist running out of time. Don't Tell the Driver is an inspired and focused collection of Mick Turner music that reaches for new borders without sacrificing the dizzy wandering and painterly stillness that has typified Mick's best work of the past. Features contributions from vocalists Caroline Kennedy-McCraken and Oliver Mann and musicians Ian Wadley, Jeff Wegener, Kishore Ryan and Peggy Frew.
