Product Description: The success of his debut, Long Black Train, had folks in Nashville making bets about Josh Turner's capturing 2004's CMA Horizon Award, but then Turner, whose resonant baritone-bass will rattle the screws out of your car stereo speakers, seemed to quickly fade from sight. Now, with his sophomore album, he proves he wasn't a fluke, even if nothing here immerses itself in the baptismal fire of temptation, death, and redemption with the power of Train. His duet with Ralph Stanley, "Me and God," which Turner wrote, somehow falls short, especially since Stanley sounds so weak that he might have fallen over at the microphone. Where Turner does bring home the bacon is in moving out of the gospel area and wisely choosing four songs from the pen of the underrated Shawn Camp: "Would You Go with Me," the irresistible bluegrass invitation to forever (with lyrics that sound Biblically inspired, despite the overly romantic tone); the hilarious "Loretta Lynn's Lincoln"; the bluesy "No Rush," which walks the same sexy path as Tony Joe White and Conway Twitty; and the frustrated-husband lament "Baby's Gone Home to Mama." Turner also scores points in tipping his hat to heritage, sometimes more subtle (reworking Don Williams's "Lord Have Mercy on a Country Boy") than overt. But not always. When the South Carolinian launches into his own "Way Down South," a mandolin-and-electric-guitar paean to the geographical womb that formed him, that sound you hear in the background is the whoosh of cowboy hats, sailing through the Dixiefied stratosphere. --Alanna Nash

Customer Reviews
Josh Turner
Anyone who enjoyed Conway Twitty will love Josh Turner. His songs are outstanding and seem like he's singing about your life. His voice is so sexy, I just love it.

I like his voice
But, it's not like I love every song on this cd. It's not bad, but not my favorite. A couple of really good songs, and a few I skip over.

The best of his 3 albums
This is not a "amazing" album by any stretch. It is a good album, but I didn't like every track and there are some I just had to skip.
I really liked the additions of John Anderson for "White Noise" and Ralph Stanley in "Me & God." I thought John Anderson complimented Josh Turner really well for what is a really amusing and catch song.
Track for track, this is better than his prior album Long Black Train.
