Biography

HAYWIRE

Whether it's with his deep, soulful voice, his South Carolina accent or his philosophy on life, Josh Turner has never been one to hurry. But a memorable country song recently convinced him to pick up his pace.

The singer-songwriter was months away from scheduled recording sessions when he first heard "Why Don't We Just Dance," which became the debut single from his fourth studio album,… Read more in Amazon's Josh Turner Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

Product Description

New artists dream about the kind of results Josh Turner achieved with his 2003 debut, Long Black Train. Spurred by its haunting, gospel-inflected title track, the album sold a million copies and brought Turner a pair of nominations from the influential Country Music Association, plus a Top New Artist nomination from the Academy of Country Music. That debut, however, was merely a prelude. Turner's sophomore project, Your Man, demonstrates an increased maturity, a better-honed sense of his strengths, and a more specific portrait of the singer as both an artist and a man.

"I've really learned a lot," Turner reflects. "We were listening to my first record the other day, and I couldn't believe how much my voice has matured and grown from that time."

The album covers a range of emotions--from romantic devotion to spiritual intimacy to ethereal silliness--while paying overt allegiance to many of the musical figures who inspired him. Two of his biggest influences, honky-tonker John Anderson and bluegrass pioneer Ralph Stanley, make guest appearances; a Don Williams hit, "Lord Have Mercy on a Country Boy," gets reworked; and the Coal Miner's Daughter is even referenced in the title of the inexplicably weird "Loretta Lynn's Lincoln." If that weren't enough, Turner pays tribute to Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, and even trucker-ballad specialist Red Sovine. In fact, the last notes Turner sings on the album are an unintentional tribute to a country-gospel master, as the singer recaptures the way on down line from the late J.D. Sumners performance on an Elvis Presley hit.

Born and raised in Hannah, South Carolina, Turner got his first exposure to music at the Union Baptist Church. But his introduction to country music came through his father's mom, who acquainted him with Southern gospel quartets; country stars Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Roy Acuff and Ernest Tubb; and bluegrass legends the Osborne Brothers and the Stanley Brothers.

"Ralph Stanley has such a unique voice, and he's really carved a niche for himself," Turner says. "He's kept mountain music and bluegrass music alive, and introduced a lot of new fans to that kind of music, and I was one of those people from a very early age."

After his initial success, Turner was empowered on the second album. He explores more emotional avenues and utilizes the lower end of his identifiable bass/baritone range more frequently. Though it sets him apart from his contemporaries, he's careful not to turn his signature into a novelty. Instead, he's picked material in which his basement tones are a natural enhancement to the messages hes conveying. Still, Turner's voice is ultimately an instrument that communicates the deeper influences in his world. His wife, his musical heritage, and his deeper understanding of his art all make their presence felt through inspiration or expression on Your Man, an uncommonly seamless sophomore effort. It's clear that calling his award-winning first album a debut was right on the mark: It was merely an introduction to an inspired and evolving artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want some real country music? Trust Josh Turner to deliver!, January 24, 2006
This review is from: Your Man (Audio CD)
I'll be honest here--I thought Josh Turner would be a one-hit wonder. Not that he isn't good--he has one of the best voices gracing radio today, and is a heck of a songwriter, to boot. No, I thought radio would overlook his traditional sound. Fortunately, I was wrong. "Long Black Train" was indeed the only major hit from his first record, but the title track to this album has proven to be a smash, as well, proving that radio is ready to accept an incredible singer with a penchant for the traditional.

YOUR MAN tops LONG BLACK TRAIN easily, most noteably because it includes more of Turner's own songwriting. He sounds more confident as he swings into the opening stompers, then shifts into the Conway Twitty-esque "No Rush." From there, it's a deluge of country music--heart-melters, odes to country music, and even another gospel number, performed with Ralph Stanley and Marty Roe, Dana Williams, and Gene Johnson from Diamond Rio. There's not a song on here that doesn't qualify as traditional (yet potential radio-hit) country. Check out the twang on "White Noise" with John Anderson, or the banjo boogie that ends out the album. Josh Turner may not be at the top of his form on YOUR MAN (it's only his second album, how can we tell?), but he is certainly doing fine. Get this one, if you are a fan of country music. And if you're not a fan of country music (what are you doing here?), get this and become a convert. No sophomore blues for Josh Turner, only a promising career as one of the best country crooners of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, highly listenable CD, August 11, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Your Man (Audio CD)
More than just appealing to country fans, this great collection from Josh Turner has something for almost all music fans. His deep, warm voice is reminiscent of Johnny Cash but certainly possesses a style and quality all his own. A variety of tracks will keep you interested in playing this in heavy rotation on your CD player or ipod.

It should be noted that not only does Turner have a great vocal instrument, his song styling and earnest lyrics elevate these songs beyond traditional country fare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way Down South From Way Down Deep, April 1, 2006

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Your Man (Audio CD)
Plato said that music "...gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." Josh turner delivers that promise.

I'm an LA girl: the kind who grew up thinking she could never listen to, let alone enjoy Country music. But albums like this prove that taste can get better with age. There is something about the way he sings "Your Man" and "Angels Fall Sometimes" that makes a woman pray that some man would think that way about her. Or thank God for one that does.

Josh Turner paints a picture with his voice of what a woman wants a Southern Gentleman to be- God-fearing, attractive, comfortable and confident with who he is. A South Carolina man- his voice is oh- so deep- masculine- it is never going to be mistaken for a woman's. Where more contemporary artists might attack each note straight on- Josh Turners slide between notes like a trombone and then caresses each word.

But there is a lighter side to his talent which is also attractive. The humor shows off his boyish imagination on Loretta Lynn's Lincoln. And I can't wait to give my sons their own copies so they can hear " Lord Have Mercy on a Country Boy" for despite having grown up in the suburbs and working in the City- there is an authentic draw to outdoor adventures when they were younger which they will easily relate to.
