Best of Josh Turner – Josh TurnerView More By Josh Turner Our ReviewBest of Josh Turner harvests the cream of the crop from Turner’s first four albums. Though there are none of the bonus or exclusive tracks that normally grace best-of collections from Music City, this particular release plays with a proper flow, sounding more like an album than a collage of radio singles. It opens with Turner’s beefy baritone growling the intro to “Firecracker” over a weeping pedal steel and locomotive Telecaster picking. His early years singing gospel songs in church really come through on his biggest hit, “Long Black Train,” an infectious slice of new traditional country that impressively roosted on the Billboard country charts for more than 40 weeks. “Backwoods Boy” also gives keen insight into Turner’s childhood in the South Carolina sticks, but it’s the more amorous tunes (like the Mel McDaniel inspired “Your Man” and the heartfelt “She’ll Go on You”) that display the man’s knack for singing ballads without sounding as sappy as some of his contemporaries. “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” from his fourth album, Haywire, ends on a fun note.. Customer ReviewsReason for this album (2 stars)This album was released by his label (Universal Music Group) as way to sell more albums from him at a low price. This album was released without any input by Josh Turner (which mean he did not pick this album's selection of songs). This album is good for anyone who wants a cheap introduction to his discography but for everyone who owns all his albums, this album is useless. Great songs! (5 stars) I love this man. a good selection, but too premature (1 star) I'm getting tired of artists and/or labels getting greedy and releasing "greatest hits" albums so early in artists careers. Most of Josh's best songs are on here, so I have to give it 4-stars anyway. He needs to make sure he doesn't sell out any more than this. You're on musical probation, buddy. BiographyBorn: November 20, 1977 in Hannah, SCGenre: Country Years Active: '00s, '10s A native of Hannah, South Carolina, country crooner Josh Turner burst onto the scene in 2003 with the powerful "Long Black Train," a song he'd written after listening to a Hank Williams box set. Sounding like a gospel-blues tune from the '40s — and featuring Turner's deep, rich baritone at the forefront — "Long Black Train" wrestled with the grand themes of temptation, salvation, death, and redemption. It also earned Turner national media attention, peaking at number 13 on the country...
