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 first 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.

4 stars 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!

In short words, Josh has a great future ahead of him. I have seen him in interviews and he knows how to handle himself very well. He not only has that great Southern charm with his music, but he is a cutie too! I highly reccomend this CD for everyone. It is super! Way to go Josh!
