Free Music Notes for Everything Is FineFree Music Review: Amazing : The Jeff Buckley of Country Music Hit: 5 Stars
I am constantly amazed by the lack of country male performers who can use a falsetto, and Josh Turner is perhaps the only man in country music who doesn't shy away from doing so. On this CD, he enters the high range of his voice multiple times - and this gives his music a special quality that you just cannot find in country music today. For that reason itself, this album is unique.
Second, this is a very traditional country album. When I first heard it on my Ipod, I was at a loss to describe it. At best, it closely resembles Lee Ann Womack's "Theres more what that came from" CD from a few years ago, in terms of being very orthodox in country music sensibilities. However, what sets this apart, is that despite its very George Strait/Randy Travis overtones, this has a personality all its' own. You can't compare this to Garth Brooks or Gary Allan, simply because they don't make country music like this.
"Everything Is Fine", "Firecracker,", and "Nowhere Fast," a duet with Anthony Hamilton of R&B fame are all great songs. The latter especially is very harmonious. I would say this despite Carrie Underwoods stellar "Carnival Ride" and Reba's "Duets" CD from earlier this year, this album is the Country Album of the Year 2007 for me.
Aside for rock fans who like country - this guy sounds a lot like Jeff Buckley gone country, and is definitely worth checking out.
Free Music Review: a gold mine, a modern day Johnny Cash Hit: 5 Stars
I was a fan of Josh Turners from the moment I heard Long Black Train. I have all the CD's he's put out and every one gets better. This guy has already 3 CDs out and I swear he could be considered a Hall of Famer.
Two songs stand out on this CD. So Not My Baby and The Way He Was Raised. So Not My Baby should be released as a single. It's catchy, it's heart felt, it's singable, and I never get tired of it. I think if you just download this one song you'll probably buy the whole CD. My new favorite Josh Turner song. Now, to The Way He Was Raised. I love it. If you've never heard it, I won't spoil it for you. I really don't know what more to say other than listen to it. Musically it's great, but the message is the meaning. As for the rest of the songs, they are all good to great. South Carolina Low Country is really one of my favorites too. (Lived there for a few years, so there's a connection. :) )
One of the greatest country voices .... ever. Songs are outstanding. If you like strong male vocals, great clear lyrics, and an easy going style this is the guy for you. Reminds me a lot of a modern day Johnny Cash. There are fun songs, moral songs, romantic songs, inspirational songs, guy songs, chick songs... this is the whole package.
Free Music Review: Everything IS Fine! Hit: 5 Stars
Josh Turner's latest project entitled Everything is Fine, was released on October 30th. Give the CD a listen let me tell you EVERYTHING IS FINE! It is a solid country CD and in my opinion the best country album of the year. The title track Everything Is Fine starts of the album, it is filled with smart witty lyrics, and a great vocal performance by Turner. His hit single Firecracker is next, Bang! Trisha Yearwood is featured on Another Try, and makes a beautiful duet partner for Turner. Trailerhood, is a fun song and the redneck song on the CD kind of like White Noise on the Your Man album. On Nowhere Fast Josh Turner is joined by Anthony Hamilton, their voices blend well. One Woman Man is a cover of the Johnny Horton song, and a good one it is you'll find yourself singing along before you realize what happened! The CD is packed with great songs I could go on and on........Soulmate, The Way He Was Raised, South Carolina Low Country, The Longer the Waiting (The Sweeter The Kiss), So, Not My Baby, and Baby,I Go Crazy. Go ahead and buy it you won't be sorry!
Free Music Review: He Keeps On Getting Better And Better! Hit: 5 Stars
I love Josh Turner because like Brad Paisley,they're pure country!The way it should be, and he really shines on this fantastic album which is also produced by Brad Paisley's own producer Frank Rogers.
He begins the album with the title track Everything Is Fine-and it surely is.With big hits Firecracker and the beautiful ballad with Trisha Yearwood Another try brings his 3rd album to a new level.Other gems are the great uptempos So Not My Baby,Baby I Go Crazy and the excellent version of the George Jones classic One Woman Man-his voice really suits this song.Also he includes a really different kind of song,the lovely The Longer The Waiting(The Sweeter The Kiss) which includes bagpipes!Beautiful song.He rounds up the album with his gospel style song The Way He Was Raised and South Carolina Low Country,which tells how much he's a country boy!!
His best album yet,an absolute essential for your country collection.
Free Music Review: Country music at its finest Hit: 5 Stars
Josh Turner comes back with his fourth album keeping the tradition in country music. From the beginning to the end, the album shows the levels of success this newest member of the Grand Ole Opry can achieve. Turner's vocals shine with "The Longer the Waiting" and the first hit single off the album, "Firecracker." Trisha Yearwood fills in as a guest spot on "Another Try" to blend beautifully with Josh Turner's vocals. The surprise on the album and probably one of the strongest tracks is the song written and sang along with, Anthony Hamilton's "Nowhere Fast."
Overall this album is well worth purchasing for the country music fan who loves to hear the traditional sounds of country music.
