"Road Ends In Water" is the debut album from Memphis-based band TURCHI, a Southern Blues Rock slide-guitar-boogie-kudzu-music duo featuring Reed Turchi (slide guitar, vocals) and Cameron Weeks (drums)."The spiritual flame passed from Fred McDowell to R.L. Burnside to Kenny Brown now lights up the guitar band of TURCHI. With an assist from likewise rowdy North Mississippi Allstar Luther Dickinson, the crunch and slide of this blue trio assures that the kudzu boogie will long continue. Their own sweatbox stomps and moonshine grinds throb to a hill country heartbeat, the same moan 'n' drone one which crowned the trinity of Marshall, Tate, and Panola Counties as the groove capital of the world. From the constantly writhing tangle of twin serpentine guitars (one of which always employs that hulking brass slide on the cover of Road Ends in Water), you'd swear TURCHI are rogue Chulahoma jukesters. And not tobacco-belt Tar Heels headquartered out of North Carolina. No doubt leader Reed Turchi has been absorbing every drop of local ritual up in those Mississippi hills while rooting out backwoods savants (like Little Joe Ayers) to record for his own Devil Down label. So with the crack, then crash, of a drum kit, Muddy's "I Can't Be Satisfied" and their own carnal "Do For You" bolt out. The same propulsion works for "Shake 'Em," the regional anthem that's been putting pelvises into motion ever since its preview inside juke houses many moons ago. "Keep On Drinking," however, doesn't even try to get it on, instead sniffing out a rat, then tending to its extermination. It's a cold shot--but danceable, nonetheless. The real terror comes when being fed into the maw of the beat, "Dr. Recommended (Satisfaction Guaranteed)." It's slow qualor--Turchi and Dickinson's filth guitars sideswiping one another down a the bottom of a gutbucket--is just how Nature intended sleaze to sound."  - Dennis Rozanski, BluesRag Magazine
