Left Turn At Albuquerque thanks Michael Teach, Michael Narvaez, Ashley Wolf, Hannah Frank, Avery Aoueille, Alex Alicea, and everyone at Chicago Acoustic Underground for the incredible support during this project. Thanks to Ellis Clark for the long hours, hard work, and faith in us. Thanks to the Chicago original music community, a second family to all of us, and bigger and more incredible than anyone suspects. Some of our brothers and sisters in music appeared on this album. You can hear more great Chicago original musicians on the CAU podcast site, www.chicagoacoustic.net.

Special thanks to original Left Turn members Kat Fitzgerald (drums and percussion) and Christopher Hopper (lead guitar), who started on this journey with us, and who helped us realize our potential. Kat is featured on this album. Our sincere gratitude to you both.

Special thanks as well to Kirk Snedeker, drummer for the Chicago band The Locals, for joining us in-progress on this project, and for bringing a different spark, a lot of energy, and a great sense of humor to Left Turn.

The photo of the road atlas in the Left Turn lane was taken by Mark Brink (1952-2010), who came upon the scene exactly as you see it, and had the presence of mind to hop out of his car, snap the picture, and grab the atlas before the light changed. Mark was a multi-talented man, a singer, songwriter, guitarist, actor and chef, but also an incredible fan, and a good friend. Miss you, Mark.

About the artist

Left Turn At Albuquerque is a synthesis of 70s folk, 60s pop and classic rock, with lyrics that are not quite Shakespeare but are more than bubblegum (not that there's anything wrong with bubblegum pop, it's a not-so-guilty pleasure). Relying on intricate guitar fingerwork, sultry piano and well-thought-out lyrics, songwriters and co-lead singers Jeff Churchwell and Sarah Scanlon work all sides of the street to bring you music that refuses to sit in a single niche, but rather appeals to a wide variety of tastes and age groups. Bassist Joe Nemec rounds out the core of the band very tastefully, with groove and soul one minute, and rock and punch the next.

Left Turn At Albuquerque is a detour well-worth taking.

Lyrics

I Dare You
(Scanlon)


I don’t know what it is you’re thinkin’
But oh you’re so cute and we’ve been drinkin’
So, come on, take a chance with me.

The sweetest of answers that I’ve ever heard,
Three little letters make love in that word.
Just say “yes.” Oh I dare you, say “yes.”

I don’t know if my skin is see-through
But oh, you’re so sweet and feelin’ my cues,
So, come on, take a chance with me.

This truth serum shaken with ice cubes and lime,
Alice’s wonderland’s nowhere near mine
Just say “yes.” Oh I dare you, say “yes.”

You mess with wires, light my fire, let go and let it start.
Your dark blue crossed my crimson line is bruisin’ up my heart.
It’s so cliché, say anyway, I’ll think about you ‘night and day.’
Standards said it best so I will say “I’ve got you under my skin.”

So, I don’t know what it is you’re thinkin’
But oh, you’re so cute and we’ve been drinkin’
So, come on, take a chance with me.

I’ll meet you in dreams just as fast as I can.
We’ll tumble around in our own candy land.
With ice cream and gum drops and licorice whips,
I’ll walk up to you and get lost in your lips,
Just say “yes.” Oh I dare you, say “yes.”

The sweetest of answers that I’ve ever heard,
Three little letters make love in that word.
The sweetest of answers that I’ve ever heard,
Three little letters make love in that word.
Just say “yes.” Oh I dare you, say “yes.”

Oh I dare you, say “yes.”
Oh I dare you say…
Oh I dare you say…
Oh I dare you say…“yes.”
