Your Man by Josh (Country) Turner (CD, Jan-2006, MCA Nashville)

Josh opens up with a fast tune with what we call in the bluegrass world as “driving” music. Jeff Surratt really brings it in with his dobro throughout the song. Josh delivers ranging his voice with “Would You Go With Me” and drives deep into the bass vocals with “never shut it dooownnn”. This song is true traditional country music that just reminds you of being on a hay wagon with the one you love driving through the hollers of the Appalachian Mountains during the fall time.

Baby’s Gone Home to Mama is a funny upbeat song about Josh sitting around while the one he loves has went home to her Mama because she is fed up with his way. You feel like you are sitting there in the trailer or old house with him and has that “redneck” feeling to it.

No Rush is probably one of my favorite slow songs of all time. It is just so powerful and soulful. You totally relax to this perfect love song. I am reminded of those love songs that Conway Twitty sang in his day. Now this is one of those songs that is destine to be a hit.

Your Man is the first hit single off of this sophomore release. Already a top 20 hit heading up to the #1 spot on the charts with the country cha cha feeling.

Loretta Lynn’s Lincoln is a fun tale of “J. Otis” (Josh Otis Turner) who thinks he is driving Loretta Lynn’s Lincoln, even driving with Dolly Parton to meet up with Loretta at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. At the end, he realized that it was all a dream. The funniest saying is at the beginning with Josh going “Loretta Lynn’s Lincoln?” to the salesman at the carlot.

Get your cowboy boots on when you hear White Noise sung with John Anderson. I smell a country line dance being made with this tune. This song reminds me of my high school to college days with the crowds and the good times shared with friends. The interesting element is “It’s Johnny Cash and Charley Pride…talking about the white noise coming from the real McCoy’s.”

Angels Fall Sometimes is an instant love song that Josh wrote for his wonderful wife, Jennifer. He cannot believe that someone like her that is a pure angel could ever fall with a guy like him. The acoustic notes on the guitar dance around the vocals that intertwine a love story like the one told by Josh.

Josh succeeds in executing a great cover song with Lord Have Mercy On a Country Boy. It is a hit in his shows and a hit on his record. It really reflects how the country boy from South Carolina moved to the big city of Nashville to make a living. Don William would be proud of this version, which is right to the exact of the original.

Gravity is an excellent tune reflecting of childhood falls due to gravity up to growing up and falling in love due to gravity. It is in the same slow manner as “I Had One One Time” from his previous album. The song really shows Josh’s vocal talents.

Me and God is an uplifting tune about how God is a huge part in Josh’s life. With Diamond Rio filling in background vocals, and a duet with Ralph Stanley, this is a good old fashion country gospel tune. You can feel it being sung at a country Baptist church deep in the hills of the mountains with Ralph’s and Josh’s voices.

Way Down South is an excellent way to tie the ending to the record with the extended “jamming” version towards the end of the song. It points out all things southern that are also the best things in life.

The album overall is a piece of recording art. This is the type of album that Josh wanted and it truly shows.

I thought Long Black Train was great but this CD is fantastic. Me and God with Ralph Stanley is the best song I have ever heard outside of a church.

Great voice and some great songs. "Will you go with me" is a masterpiece. Terrific music on that one. "White noise" is also a very well played song with some good lyrics. "Your man" is a sexy song for your girl.

Very good CD. All the songs are good. Josh has a wonderful voice. Highly recommended this CD. Sometimes Angels Fall is a wonderful song. Not sure if he wrote it for his wife but it is a beautiful song. This CD makes you want to dance around your living room while listening to it.

Like I said before, Josh Turner is the BOMB!!! So is his music. I love all the songs on this CD, but my favorite is Your Man, but all his songs are great. Find 1 and buy it will not be a waste of your money!!!! GREAT CD!!!!

Another Great Josh Turner CD! He has an amazing voice and displays it in all of his songs. This is old country at it's best, even though Josh is a new country star, this is true country music!

WOW, one of the best CD's, can't wait for the next one, country artists are amazing in the way they can make a whole CD worth listening to. Josh Turner has such a unique voice and the tenderness in his delivery is just breath taking. I like each song on this CD for different reasons. "Me and God" just makes my day.

Every man, consider buying this for your woman!! Enough said. Well, apparently, ebay/sponsers of this review process are looking for more "characters" to fill this space. So, I like it too. Josh Turner is one of the better artists in this genre.

If you relished Josh Turner’s debut endeavor, and are expecting an improvement this time around, most likely you will be disappointed. There is no question that this country performer truly has a terrific baritone voice, often sounding similar to the likes of Don Williams, John Anderson, or Randy Travis, but with the exception of ‘White Noise’ (absolutely stellar performance co-written and co-sung with John Anderson), Josh’s other four solo writings, ‘Angels Fall Sometimes’, ‘Me and God’, ‘Gravity’, and ‘Way Down South’ are, at best, C rated fillers and not as good as the songs he composed on his intro CD. The four cuts that were co-authored by Shawn Camp with other individuals, ‘Would You Go with Me’, Baby’s Gone Home To Mama’, No Rush’, and ‘Loretta Lynn’s Lincoln’ are fairly good quality selections, but of those four, only the up tempo ‘Would You Go with Me’ is in the 5 star category. In a nutshell, if you are content purchasing a CD for three terrific selections: “Your Man’, ‘White Noise’ and ‘Would You Go With Me’, or are just absolutely enamored with Josh Turner, then go for this, otherwise save your money.

I really like this cd and play it often. We went to see Josh Turner at Little Nashville and I'm a fan.The songs are really fun and stay with you. "Me and God" and "Loretta Lynn's Lincoln" are especially good. The whole cd is well balanced and the music and vocals are well done.
It arrived quickly and was very well packaged. I would definitely buy from this source again.

Although Josh Turner is still relatively new to the country music scene, he proves that he is a bonafide talent. He has a strong, charismatic voice that keeps listeners coming back for more and more. There were a few tracks on this CD that (personally-- I think) could have been substituted for some better, stronger ones, however overall this is one CD that definitely should find its way into most listeners' collections. Josh Turner is a rare talent and an enjoyable one with a variety of sounds to offer the country music connoisseur... or even those who enjoy only a limited country selection like myself. Give this a listen and I hope you will find, like myself, that this is one very enjoyable CD that earns its place into your collection.

THIS CD IS ONE OF THE BEST ALL TIME CDS I HAVER HEARD. HIS VOICE IS AMAZING. HIS MUSIC IS MORE OF THE OLD TRADITIONAL COUNTRY. THERE IS LOVE SONGS, GOSPEL AMD EVEN SOME THAT IS FUNNY. I DON'T KNOW WHICH OF HIS CDS I LIKED THE BEST. BUT I DO KNOW IF YOU LIKED HIS CD "LONG BLACK TRAIN" YOU WILL LOVE THIS ONE. I RECOMEND EVERYONE SHOULD OWN THIS CD.

Heard the song, liked it and bought the CD. Listened to all the other songs on the CD and now I like Josh Turner. Great country singer. Great CD. Thanks.

I like the old country twang that it has that other artists have forgotten. The way that Josh Turners Voice gets to you and has you listening for the next verse really captures you and makes you want to listen to the following song.
