Even after many listenings, I just haven't gotten enough of it. Josh Turner's voice is very mature and probably one of the best on country radio today. The rest of this recording reflects a great traditional country sound. Even if you just buy this album because of the title song, you can't go wrong with the rest of it. This young man has a bright future. 23 of 24 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Long Black Train (Audio CD) If this CD only contained the song "Long Black Train", it would be worth purchasing.

To me, it is the best kind of voice for real country music. The cover of the late Jim Croce's "Don't Mess Around with Jim" is a pleasant little surprise. With Turner's deep Southern voice, you get the idea that you might be hearing Slim sing the song. 22 of 24 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Long Black Train (Audio CD) Yeah, I heard "Long Black Train."

I have atoned for my initial mistake, and searched high and low for this album. I found it, gave it a listen--and now I'm reviewing it, because I figured I had a duty to tell you about this terrific CD. The title track and "Backwoods Boy" are the two best, probably because they're Turner's two self-penned songs on this album. He also co-wrote "Jacksonville," which does deserve some honorable mention. The other songs aren't entirely new ideas...but they don't have to be. Yes, "In My Dreams" and "Unburn All Our Bridges" are almost cliche; but heck, with a baritone like Turner possesses, do you even CARE? There're some honky-tonkers, like "What It Ain't", "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" (it...Read more |
