I’ll be honest. The way I first heard about Josh Turner was during a summer job as a cashier at Cracker Barrel, so I literally knew him as “That guy who we play on repeat at Cracker Barrel on the boom box to my left.” That being said, though, Turner is hardly what I would call generic on the country circuit. There’s something about his music that is classic country, but also has a little bit of tradition and heart to it in how he presents himself and how his music works. And after releasing on February 9th, this album, “Haywire” has become the third album to be on the Top 10, in a row.

So what has Turner been doing to help promote his new album? He’s been all over. From the Late Show With David Letterman to an appearance on The Martha Stewart Show, Josh Turner has been promoting the album quite vigorously since the release. He’s also been asked a great deal about how this particular album will be different from his past ones. He states that vocally he wanted to present more of a challenge and brings out more of his experience with relationships and love, so his lyrics and his songs really show the love and consideration he gave to his music.

In the technical sense, he’s working with the same creative team he’s worked with for his last three albums since 2003, one of which being Frank Rogers, the producer who has been credited as being able to really understand what Josh Turner wants to really acheive and has assisted him with that in the past. Turner is quite confident that this album is going to be one that his fans and simply fans of country in general will be able to connect with and enjoy.
