    Cons: none

    Josh Turner voice is amazing . His voice is so manly and soulful, just like country music is supose to be , he reminds me of a young billy ray cyrus. His voice on GAC is very eye catching . This cd will be worth it if you like soulful country......

    The centerpiece of this debut album by South Carolina native Josh Turner is its lead track, the traditional-sounding "Long Black Train," which could be a country gospel song out of the 1940s. Penned by Turner, the song rolls death, temptation, and redemption into the metaphor of a funeral train, and sung in Turner's deep voice, it rolls across country radio like nothing else on the scene, the ominous breath of hellfire in the lyrics conjuring up the ghost of Johnny Cash.

Josh Turner

A native of Hannah, SC, deepvoiced Josh Turner burst on the country scene in 2003 with the powerful "Long Black Train," a song Turner had written after listening to a Hank Williams Sr. box set. Sounding like a gospelblues out of the 1940s, "Long Black Train" wrestles with the grand themes of temptation, salvation, death, and redemption, and the song quickly brought Turn... Read more
