More than 20 years after his breakout on the Grand Ole Opry, MCA Nashville artist Josh Turner is still delivering the kind of country music that made him a standout from the start: rooted in tradition, rich in craftsmanship, and powered by his unmistakable bass voice. But while his sound remains steady, Turner knows staying true doesn't mean standing still.
Now, with his 10th studio album This Country Music Thing, Turner is in a creative sweet spot, blending experience, confidence, and timeless country values. “This is who I am,” he says. “It’s something that feeds me and fulfills me.”
Since his 2001 debut, Turner has built a career marked by Platinum albums, 5 billion streams, and a loyal fanbase drawn to his blend of gospel, Appalachian roots, and modern classic country. This Country Music Thing carries that torch forward, mixing new energy with familiar themes like faith, love, pride, and gratitude.
Featuring 11 new tracks, including several Turner co-wrote, the album explores everything from romantic heat (“Heatin’ Things Up”) to personal tributes (“Unsung Hero”) and Southern pride (“Down in Georgia”). The title track serves as both an anthem and autobiography, a bold nod to his legacy with a wink of swagger and deep respect for the genre’s roots.
Produced by longtime collaborator Kenny Greenberg, the sound stays grounded in organic country textures like fiddle, steel, and saloon piano, but still finds room to stretch, with moments of outlaw edge and dancefloor-ready grooves.
For Turner, the message is clear: he’s not chasing trends. He’s honoring a tradition while pushing it forward. “I’m proud of this record,” he says. “This is what I was born to do.”
