{"product_id":"turn-it-up-1","title":"Turn It Up","description":"Audio Mixer: Greg Droman.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: Ben's Place Studio, Nashville, TN; Blackbird Studio, Nashville, TN; Sony Tree Studios, Nashville, TN.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographer: James Minchin III.\u003cbr\u003eLike many a talented singer, Josh Thompson got caught up in record company politics, running through a few labels housed under a major-label umbrella before resurfacing four years later on a different label entirely. This behind-the-scenes drama explains the delay between 2010's Way Out Here and 2014's Turn It Up, but the wait works in Thompson's favor as 2014's contemporary country favors the low-key machismo that Josh offers. He's not as pop-savvy as Luke Bryan -- there are no references to T-Pain -- but he has a familiar, friendly vibe; he's the kind of guy you'd trust to take your girlfriend out for a night on the town, convinced there'd be no hanky panky. Thompson's inherent decency means that he's not quite convincing when he's turning up the amps -- the album ends with \"Hank Crankin' People,\" a weak approximation of Eric Church's outlaw stance -- but when things are kept light, Turn It Up is pretty charming: a nice soundtrack for sunny suburban weekend afternoons. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46803546571039,"sku":"602537727230","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/68a9d6d196357dc3b6ca027b3a4f845e.jpg?v=1777808771","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/turn-it-up-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
