Haywire
By: Josh Turner
Release Date: February 9, 2010
If country music was a toolbox and the tools represented the artists, Josh Turner would be the one really unique, but cool, tool that when buried in the cluster, it really stands out above all the rest. While that one tool is really awesome, it hardly gets the use, or air-time, it deserves. Turner’s distinct, deep voice, when combined with either his pop-country songs or his gospel infused album cuts, really give him that desirable feel that is so unique over the rest. In “Haywire”, released Tuesday, Turner continues with what he knows best. Working with songs that fit his voice and persona.
Even with the title “Haywire”, the album is anything but problematic. From the fun “Why Don’t We Just Dance”, the first pre-released single from this album, to the gospel-like “The Answer” all the way down to the deep love songs, only Turner can do best, the album’s 11 plus new tracks are consistent to his style but always unique to the present-day genre we know as country music.
Returning to the hardware reference. Growing up as the son of a carpenter, I’ve learned from my father that it can be rather challenging to build something with only one particular tool. Contrary to this, it’s amazing how Turner can craft a complete album with such a distinct voice as his. Even with those deep vocals, he’s crafted a unique album that manages to draw the listener from the beginning, to the end. -SW
