Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ MCA Records) - As
Josh Turner prepares to release his third album for MCA Records, he can easily take a look at his life and say that this record is appropriately titled,
Everything Is Fine. The forthcoming CD is the follow-up to Turner's double-platinum selling Your Man, which earned him several Grammy, CMA and ACM nominations.
Everything Is Fine features 12 songs, seven of which the talented baritone wrote or co-wrote including Turner's fastest rising single "Firecracker."
The album will hit stores on October 30th and showcases two incredible duets. Turner teamed up with the powerhouse vocalist
Trisha Yearwood for the ballad "
Another Try" and he recorded "Nowhere Fast" with R&B sensation Anthony Hamilton, who tailored the tune for Turner. Turner co-wrote two cuts with one of his heroes, John Anderson, for the disc. The two collaborated on "Baby, I Go Crazy," a fun-loving song about love and "
Soulmate" described by Turner as one of the most honest and truly romantic songs he's ever written.
"Growing up, traditional country music was always where my heart was at because those songs were speaking about the life that I was living in rural South Carolina," says Turner. "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. "The release of Everything Is Fine has Turner on a major media blitz that will showcase him across the nation. His first television appearance is October 27th on GAC when Turner will achieve one of his career goals by being inducted into the elite group of Grand Ole Opry members.
On October 29th he will perform live on NBC's Today Show and on October 31st he will tape an episode of MARTHA to air on November 6th.
The CMA Male Vocalist of the Year Nominee will appear on the cover of USA Weekend November 4th to preview the CMA Awards and he will perform on the ABC televised awards show November 7th.
Josh Turner burst onto the scene in 2003 with his debut album Long Black Train, selling more than a million copies.
His follow up disc, Your Man, has sold more than double that amount establishing Turner as one of the fastest rising stars in country music today. His distinctive voice paired with his inspired songwriting makes him one of Nashville's most notable traditionalists. Turner is on the road this fall with Sara Evans in select cities.
