Finally, after 15 years, Big Mick Turner has turned in the big rock record we always knew he had in him. Yeah, Don't Tell the Driver is a different kind of record from all the Mick Turner records -- not just his own, but the ones he's done with Dirty Three, Bonny Billy, Cat Power, Fungus Brains, and Venom P. Stinger put together. So, what's so different about Don't Tell the Driver anyway? Well, Mick grew a mustache for this one. That must mean it's his Sgt. Pepper; 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! Write it down so you won't forget it -- Don't Tell the Driver is inarguably the first post-rock rock opera of our times -- by an artist running out of time.
Format
Recorded in Paul Ambrogio's basement, J. Mascis's attic, a practice space in Brooklyn, Aaron Mullan's basement, & Pete's old music room.
