Album Notes

"A huge musical statement" All Music Guide

"What Gives" is produced by Kevin Hupp. Mixed by Peter Moshay, Engineered and original tracks produced by Jay Newland
Matt Turk on vocals, guitars, and mandolin, Jack Daley and Mike Leslie on bass, Kevin Hupp on drums, Russ Irwin and Saul Zonana on keys, Curtis Schmidt on vocals and Randy Funke on vocals and guitar.

"In my 20 years in the music business as a musician, producer, and radio host, I have listened to countless indie releases. What Gives by Matt Turk is among the best of them! Strong songwriting with catchy hooks complemented by tasteful production, solid guitar playing, and compelling vocals are what sets What Gives apart. I'd put this album up against anything, indie or major label and it would come out a winner."
- Todd Mack
Producer, Off the Beat-n-Track recording studio
Producer & Host, The Off the Beat-n-Track Radio Hour (WKZE 98.1FM)

What Gives, “Bette Says” was featured on an episode of CBS-TV’s “Love Monkey” in early 2006.

Literate tunes with heart and muscle.
author: Thomas Staudter
                            
What Gives features eleven songs of earnest pop-rock. Musically and lyrically it suggests David Bowie, Bruce Cockburn, Elliott Murphy, U2 and Duncan Sheik — in short, literate tunes with heart and muscle.

This CD is Phenomenal, Matt Turk is truly a gifted musician. I haven't take it of my CD player since I got it. Track number ten is by far my favorite. The whole CD is filled with great songs, not only is it great instrumentally but the lyrics are inspiring. He tells a story with each song and you just can't help but to love his voice... so southing
