 (28 Customer Reviews)
Josh Turner seems to belong to a generation of country singers debuting in the late-1990s/early 2000s who were influenced by the middlebrow New Traditionalism of artists like Randy Travis and George Strait in the '80s. Accordingly, Turner's ... Full Descriptionfirst offering, LONG BLACK TRAIN, strikes an uneasy bargain with Nashville commerciality, while making strides for the sound of "hard" country in the mainstream arena. It's no accident that some of the most successful songs here are the ones Turner wrote on his own, particularly the Johnny Cash-like title track where he gets to show off his resonant baritone. Even the most sentimental ballads never descend into treacly overproduction though, and Turner's honest, straightforward approach carries him through his debut with graceful aplomb.
Recorded at The Sound Kitchen, Franklin, Tennessee; Thelma's East and Ocean Way Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee.
Personnel includes: Josh Turner (vocals); Bryan Sutton (acoustic & baritone guitar, banjo); Brent Rowan (guitar); Steve Hinson (steel guitar); Aubrey Haynie (mandolin, fiddle); Charlie McCoy (harmonica); Steve Nathan (piano); Eric Darken (vibraphone, percussion); Kevin Grant (upright bass); Shannon Forrest (drums); Wes Hightower, Russell Terrell, Lisa Cochran (background vocals); The Nashville String Machine.

Great new voice in country music
I listened to this CD from beginning to end. There wasn't a bad song on it. Long Black Train makes me want to stand up and sing! If you like Randy Travis, you'll love Josh Turner. The best songs on the CD are the ones Josh wrote or co-wrote. I hope there will be more of his music out soon!

Purchase Long Black Train CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Joe Nichols Man With A Memory CD (2002)
Long Black Train album
 $7.39 
If you think that photogenic young country singer Joe Nichols looks more like a Calvin Klein model than a honky-tonk warrior, just count your blessings that he doesn't feel bound to don an ill-fitting cowboy hat in the vain quest for the kind of phony image purveyed by far too many of his peers. Similarly, MAN WITH A MEMORY finds Nichols unafraid of sounding contemporary without completely abandoning his country roots. There's no hokey, half-assed western swing number tossed in here for "authenticity;" instead, the songs seamlessly blend rock, pop, and country in a manner that finds Nichols sounding equally at home with all three. That said, he does possess enough of a sense of history to ...
| | Brad Paisley Mud On The Tires CD (2003)
Long Black Train CD music
$10.39 
Contains an untitled hidden track which follows "Farther Along."
"Spaghetti Western Swing" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance. "Celebrity" was nominated for Best Country Song.
If Brad Paisley did not exist it would be necessary to invent him. He stands at the crossroads between the hipster realms of alt-country and the proletarian climes of mainstream Nashville. He's too close to the middle of the road to ever be drawn to the No Depression crowd's collective bosom, but he's miles ahead of the country assembly line. On his third album he continues to do things nobody else in the Nashville hierarchy does; play a number of his own instruments, write almost all his own songs, use his own band instead of the same studio vets that occupy the credits of seemingly every other contemporary country record.
Most importantly, his songs are full of humor that doesn't descend into hee-haw jokiness. He uses a gently mocking touch to highlight the simple truths about life and love, gaining a fresh, distinctive perspective in the process. The title cut is as close as he gets to commercial, and by "Hold Me In Your Arms" he's dipping into the Bakersfield ...
| | Alan Jackson What I Do CD (2004)
Long Black Train music CDs
$7.79
Ever since he first emerged in the late 1980s as a tradition-conscious alternative to the country-crossover "hat acts" overrunning Nashville, singer/songwriter Alan Jackson has turned out remarkably consistent records full of solid, often self-penned tunes that connect with both old-school country fans and those with more mainstream tastes. Accordingly, WHAT I DO contains no rock/pop trappings, "modern" production touches, or gimmicky songs. Rather, it's an album of direct, heartfelt sentiments expressed with equal amounts of emotional honesty and tasteful understatement.
"Strong Enough" and the aptly titled "Burnin' the Honky Tonks Down" have the classic honky-tonk flavor that makes Jackson's roots in Merle Haggard-style '60s country plain. The heartbreaking, expertly crafted "Monday Morning Church" and the quietly inspirational "There Ya Go" are prime examples of Jackson's ...
| | Brad Paisley Time Well Wasted CD (2005)
Long Black Train songs
$9.99
Brad Paisley's music is an interesting amalgam of country sub-genres, a paradigm all its own. He melds straightforward, pop-friendly New Country with clever, somewhat Lyle Lovett-like songwriting and the occasional flutter of Joe Maphis/Jimmy Bryant-style guitar virtuosity. Surprisingly or not, this country combo platter made Paisley a star, and TIME WELL WASTED continues in the aforementioned vein. While there are some fairly mainstream moments here that wouldn't ruffle the feathers of, ...
