Joe Lynn Turner shook the world of rock when he burst on the national scene in 1982 as the voice of "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow". Singing hits like "I Surrender" "Street Of Dreams" and Jealous Lover" his vocal power, range and absolute passion for music made everyone sit up and take notice. Long known for his no-BS nature, Joe is a breath of fresh air. He makes no bones about developing his style and technique through mastering songs he covered on his way up the music ladder of his youth. His respect and admiration for those songs and artists live with him to this very day as he maintains a powerful career of his own playing around the globe to sold out audiences still. His respect and love for the work of Jimmy Dewar is something that Joe has spoken to me about and I am thrilled that he has agreed to be one of the contributors here. Thanks Joe, glad to have you aboard! CK
