You Can Always Turn Around is a studio album by the American musician Lucky Peterson, released in 2010. It won the Grand Prix du Disque award the same year for the best blues album.
Reception
Frank-John Hadley of DownBeat wrote, "He’s never before, in the studio at least, sang with such believable expression and easeful authority over varying the timbre of his strong, rich voice. On good or excellent material selected for him by album co-producer Doug Yoel, Peterson plays guitar, dobro and gospel piano (no B-3 this time) as if he’d found his true focus after so many years".
AllMusic's J. Poet observed, "Lucky Peterson shows off his instrumental versatility on this mostly acoustic set by switching between piano, Duolian resonator guitar, and electric guitar. Vocally he's still at the top of his game and shows plenty of fire and versatility on this set by mixing renditions of blues and gospel classics".
