Amazon.com Josh Turner is the quintessential rising country star: a South Carolina native with a thrilling baritone voice and a penchant for wrapping it around heart-tugging songs of God, family, and community. On Everything is Fine, his follow-up to the double-platinum Your Man, Turner puts a more personal stamp on his message while still acknowledging his roots. He also reaches beyond his circle on a duet with r&b prince Anthony Hamilton on the latter's "Nowhere Fast," though the material doesn't precisely fit his image or his phrasing. Writing / co-writing seven of the 12 tracks, Turner particularly shines on the title song, in which a man takes stock of his life and finds it all to his liking. The affecting love ballad "Soulmate," is one of two songs he wrote with country titan John Anderson. There's room for nit-picking: "Another Try," which features Trisha Yearwood, doesn't make the best use of her mesmerizing gifts, while "Trailerhood" perpetuates every white trash stereotype. When he launches into a cover of the Johnny Horton classic "One Woman Man," however, he dutifully scrapes the bottom of his register on the chorus and playfully employs George Jones leaps on the verses, and all is forgiven. --Alanna Nash Product Description 2007 album from the Country Music Association nominee, his third album overall.

From the Artist "Growing up, traditional country music was always where my heart was at," he says, "because those songs were speaking about the life that I was living in rural South Carolina. It was all about love and work and life and just the everyday stuff that people go through. It has always made me feel good-- the melodies, the lyrics-- so that's what I'm trying to carry on."
