Product Details

Recorded at a genuine crossroads moment, *Rough* captures Turner rebuilding on her own terms, years before the global superstardom of *Private Dancer* would reframe her entire story. The disco-era production places it firmly in its time, but her voice remains the constant, a raw instrument that no amount of reinvention could dilute. For collectors tracing the full arc of one of rock and soul's most resilient careers, this is an essential and often overlooked chapter.

1978's Rough saw Turner depart from the high-octane rock and soul sound of previous albums. Recently separated from her husband and musical partner Ike Turner, this album carved a new musical identity blending disco and blues with the opening track "Fruits of the Night" and Bob Segar's "Fire Down Below." Billboard dubbed the album as an "adventurous variety of old and new material," adding that Turner's "delivery has lost none of it's snap and crackle.
