In a career that spans nearly 30 years and includes over 50 album credits, Joe Lynn Turner ("JLT") remains one of rock and roll's most distinctive, soulful and expressive vocalists. He enjoyed his first taste of success with Fandango, before getting a call from legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore who was so impressed after his audition that he immediately enlisted Joe in Rainbow, the band that he formed after he left Deep Purple.

Thanks also to Turner's contributions, the group was catapulted to a new level of success especially in the USA. Turner co-wrote and/or sang on Rainbow singles that helped define the melodic rock genre: "I Surrender", "Can't Happen Here", "Jealous Lover", "Stone Cold", "Street of Dreams" and "Can't Let You Go".

After Blackmore joined with the reunited Deep Purple, Turner managed to release his first solo album, "Rescue You". In 1987, JLT joined Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force as both lead singer and songwriter. Their union resulted in "Odyssey," the most commercially successful album for Malmsteen ever.

In 1989, Deep Purple needed to find a lead singer to replace Ian Gillan. Turner was invited to audition and soon found himself fronting one of the major bands he was influenced by as a teenager! They released the album, "Slaves and Masters" and launched an extensive world tour.

During the 90’s Joe worked on many projects after leaving Purple, in particular with the super group Mother’s Army (also featuring Carmine Appice, Jeff Watson and Bob Daisley) and HTP, the artistic union with the other former Deep Purple member Glenn Hughes.

Joe Lynn Turner has also released another 9 studio solo albums, the last of which was the greatly successful “Second Hand Life” released on Frontiers in the spring 2007. On the heels of the release, Joe was invited to headline the UNITED FORCES of ROCK Festival in Ludwigsburg, Germany on October 1st 2007. He stormed the audience with an amazing performance encompassing all the classic Rainbow and Deep Purple hits, plus some outtakes from “Second Hand Life”. The tapes were so good that both Joe and Frontiers thought it was finally time for the first live album of JLT’s solo career.

The players include longtime collaborators Karl Cochran (Ace Frehley) on guitar and Greg Smith on bass, Michael Sorrentino on Drums and Carmine Giglio on Keyboards.
