It is sometimes underrated how much does a producer and/or an engineer contribute to add value to successful records reaching global success. The three decades between the 80's and the 00's, especially, would have not been the same without the vital work of producers and engineers like Rick Rubin, Trevor Horn, Daniel Lanois, Mutt Lange, Flood, Bob Clearmountain and the list could go on and on.
Among this illustrious list of producers and engineers that have done so much invaluable ground work for the music industry, sits very deservedly the British record producer and engineer Tim Palmer. In a four-decades plus of career span, Palmer has worked and still does with the cream of the music industry, with an all-star list of artists he has worked with so far which includes Pearl Jam, Robert Plant, U2, Tin Machine, Tears For Fears, Ozzy Osbourne, The Psychedelic Furs, House Of Love, Porcupine Tree, Goo Goo Dolls, The Cure and many more.

It's often incredible to believe how much healing power an artform like music has. It provides determination, willpower, comfort and shelter to those individuals going through severe health problems of any thinkable nature even in the hardest of times, helping them so much on a conscious and unconscious level.
For a musician, especially, to get music taken away from them against their will, when health problems arise, is a massive blow, as one would expect. But someone like Ryan McGarvey, one of the most talented and loved Blues/Rock guitarists and singer/songwriters of this generation, he did not let health adversities to take music away from him and kept on fighting for almost seven years until regaining again, thankfully, full use of half of his body, allowing the American ace guitarist to start playing again and, most importantly, starting working on writing and recording new material from his own base camp in Albuquerque.

It's uncommon, in these days and age, to find artists willing to push the boundaries of their music to a point where, together with their inner talent, they just rely on their instinct and on the natural flow that they see only in their minds, perhaps even playing with their eyes shut, so to immerse themselves further into the music that is pouring out of their souls.
To us at Bluebird Reviews, it was an indescribable joy to discover an artist that describes the aforementioned concept so well and in full, like the Danish Violinist and Composer Bjarke Falgren does so beautifully on his brand new album recently released and called Turkis (Turquoise in English).
