For Immediate Release— Songwriter Ellie Turner Keeps It Real And Imperfect On New Single “Daughter” From upcoming album When The Trouble’s All Done; Out March 24th via Muhly Grass Records March 10, 2023 - Nashville, TN - When it came time to put together her new album When The Trouble’s All Done, songwriter Ellie Turner’s focus on making music became more about capturing a moment in time more than anything else. “I wanted it real and imperfect,” she remembers. “I wanted it honest. I wanted it stripped down to the core and essence of whatever it was.” And there’s no more picturesque example than the story of tracking her new single, “Daughter.” “In the studio, immediately after we had finished the performance of this song, Mike, our engineer, asked us via the talk-back from the control room, ‘Did you hear the birds?!’” Indeed they had heard the birds chirping away so sweetly just outside the recording studio’s exterior door. “I remember being conscious of it while it was happening at the start of the song and hoping desperately that it would come through on the recording,” says Turner. “Sure enough, if you listen closely, you can hear the birds in the first few seconds of the track on the record.” “Daughter” itself, like the majority of When The Trouble’s All Done, sounds immediate and intimate, like sitting in a circle amidst voices and guitars; real and imperfect, just as Turner imagined it sounding. This is thanks, in part, to producer Jack Schneider’s preference for recording live to tape, together in one room, and to Turner’s profound ability to tell a good story with her songs. The first verse of “Daughter” illustrates her skill plainly: “Yesterday I thought that I saw you / In an airport baggage claim / You weren’t quite you, you looked tired / And I wondered what made you that way.”  Fans can stream or purchase “Daughter” today at this link, check out the previously-released singles “The ‘I Love You’ Song” and “One More Day” at their respective links, and pre-order or pre-save When The Trouble’s All Done ahead of its March 24th release via Muhly Grass Records right here.

Ellie Turner - "Daughter" (Live from Sound Emporium Studios) When The Trouble’s All Done Tracklist: One More Day The ‘I Love You’ Song Daughter Wandering A Little Farther Down The Line Katabatic If That Ocean’s Still Blue Holyoke Oh, Sister When The Trouble’s All Done More About When The Trouble’s All Done: Through every element of her album’s creation, Turner has taken care to retain a specific presentation of her songs. Most of the tracks feature just acoustic guitars, upright bass, and vocals. “The album was performed and recorded live-to-tape at Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, Tennessee,” she says. “This was a very conscious decision made by myself and my producer, Jack Schneider. We would play the song live until we felt like the most honest version of the song had been performed and captured. The imperfections and unexpected little moments of each performance are where the magic of the record lives. I wanted it to feel as if I was in someone’s living room and was handed a guitar to play.” Save for one cover of Bob Dylan’s “Oh, Sister,” all of the songs from When The Trouble’s All Done are originals written by Turner or co-written with Schneider.  Catch Ellie Turner On Tour: March 16 - Chicago, IL - Montrose Saloon April 28 - Nashville, TN - The Station Inn (Album Release Show) About Ellie Turner: While “Folk Music” has come to mean so many things over the past decades, Ellie Turner’s approach is both refreshing and vintage, evoking early Bob Dylan, and a tradition of bygone years, embracing beautiful imperfection. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Turner has always been creative, although her passion was initially channeled into visual art and design. It was during her time at University in Arkansas that Turner discovered old-time music through a local fiddle jam and became enamored. After several years in the corporate world, she found the courage to quit her job and move to Nashville to pursue music. In an era when it is possible to edit every note of a record into some semblance of “perfection,” Turner’s music moves and breathes, and reminds us where folk music comes from; the homes and souls of regular people, singing unedited songs for one another on quiet evenings.  ###
