Tinnitist TV | Ida Mae

Ida Mae is not an old blues singer - or even a person in this case. It's the name for the British duo of Chris Turpin and Stephanie Jean Ward. But if you've heard the married musicians’ music, you'd know Ida Mae actually kind of suits them. Their first two albums - 2019’s Chasing Lights and 2021’s Click Click Domino, both recorded in their adopted home of Nashville - featured a southern-fried blend of rock, blues, southern soul and folk that would slide right into a mixtape with Led Zeppelin, The Kills, latter-day Tom Waits and most of Jack White's bands. For their latest release, however, new parents Turpin and Ward have gone home, literally and artistically. Recorded in just a few days, Thunder Above You finds the duo and their producer Ethan Johns adding more British folk to the mix, creating their most diverse and dynamic disc to date. A few weeks before the album landed, Turpin and Ward got on Zoom from overseas to talk about third albums, taking creative risks, which one of them is a dictator and much more. Enjoy.
