What Happens when you mix three different people, many different styles of music and deep love to create something unique? You get the band Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor, a group whose distinctive style and natural presence onstage has given them a special following throughout the US and now the world.
Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor began in 1989 with Henry Turner Jr. and Rhadd Hunt. Their first thought was to create a sound that could be appreciated by a large number of people and musical markets. What they arrived at was a completely different kind of sound. Reggae, Funk, Blues, Gospel, World music, and Zydeco influences were tossed into the pot and seasoned with the spices of the group's native Louisiana. The result was a treat to the senses.
Whoever said that too many cooks spoil the soup never heard the Flavor band play. Each member of this ensemble brought completely different elements to the table.
Product Description
Facing The Millennium is the follow-up to the hugely successful debut Will Work for Food and Money. The songs Poor Man, Dreams & The Sound In The Sea are also featured in the sound-track of the new and controversial film Gutter Punks, which focuses on street kids in New Orleans. The songs add a poignant touch to the filmmakers' vision.
The songs from Facing The Millennium feature original and thoughtful lyrics in conscious style that has earned the band critical and popular accolades. Combined with the music, which, much like the gumbo of their home state of Louisiana, is a blend of numerous styles and rhythms from Reggae to Blues, Funk to Gospel and Zydeco to Pop, the band has forged a truly original sound and vibe that is taking the music world by storm.
