Best of Josh Turner

Photographer: George Holz.
The Icon series of releases by Universal Music features budget-priced compilations by pop legends as well as younger artists who've scored on the singles charts. Josh Turner is, after four studio albums released between 2003 and 2010, a well-established talent in contemporary country circles. He's won a Grammy and numerous other awards from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. Featured in this 11-track comp are his biggest hits as well as some prime album cuts. "Long Black Train," "Firecracker," "Would You Go with Me," and "Your Man" are here (as one would expect), but so are "She'll Go on You," "All Over Me," "Everything Is Fine," and "Me and God" (with Dr. Ralph Stanley and members of Diamond Reo), and more. Basically, this single volume is all one needs for a definitive Turner playlist without any filler. ~ Thom Jurek
