From his 2003 Platinum-selling debut Long Black Train to his 2017 Billboard No. 1 release, Deep South, Turner has scored multiple GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM Awards nominations and received six Inspirational Country Music Awards. As one of the youngest members inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, Turner has sold more than 8 million units, topped more than 1.5 billion in global streaming and populated radio with such memorable hits as “Hometown Girl,” “Would You Go With Me,” “Your Man,” “Time Is Love,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance” and “Long Black Train.”
With his newest project, I Serve A Savior, which debuted at No. 1 atop the Nielsen’s Country Albums chart and No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums Chart, Turner adds an exciting new dimension to his already acclaimed career. I Serve A Savior is a thoughtful gospel collection that finds Turner’s rich, distinctive baritone paired with timeless classics including “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art” and “Great Is Your Faithfulness,” as well as introducing originals including the title track, “I Serve A Savior,” and “The River (of Happiness),” written by his wife, Jennifer, and their eldest son, Hampton. In addition to the 12-track studio project, Turner has released a complementing 90-minute live performance DVD featuring a special interview of Turner with gospel legend Bill Gaither, a performance with Turner alongside his wife Jennifer and their four sons, and more. The DVD has been edited to air as a one-hour television special hosted by Bill Gaither, which will air on numerous networks across the U.S. and Canada.
Turner is a disciple of traditional country music, a mentor to up-and-coming artists, and one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry. Turner has been an Opry member for over 10 years and he recently revealed in his 150th performance on the famed Opry circle.
Turner checked off another bucket list item when he added author to his list of accomplishments. His first book, Man Stuff: Thoughts on Faith, Family, and Fatherhood was released in 2014. As highlighted in the book, the Hannah, S.C. native has been songwriting and performing since he was a young child, and in support of music education, created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in arts and music. As a high school student, Turner had very little access to music education, therefore realizes first-hand the importance of arts education in schools.

Scott started out in 2009 when he managed to win the singing contest 'Clayton Idol' held by WQDR-FM at the Clayton Harvest Festival in Clayton, North Carolina. Following this win Scott sang at numerous local shows with the radio station.
His success came about in 2011, after winning the popular talent show, USA's, 'American Idol'. Scott was the series' youngest male winner and second youngest winner overall. Scott McCreery had to have one of his parents live with him during the process of the show due to his young age. Following his success in the reality TV show, Scott went on to record and release his debut studio album, titled, Clear as Day, that same year. The album was highly successful and was impressively certified platinum in America.
Scott’s unique style meant his country vocals suited a number outlets. This was made evident through his debut album including the top 20 country songs, "I Love You This Big" and "The Trouble with Girls". Additionally his talents filtered through to him successfully releasing a public's favourite, Christmas album in 2012, titled, 'Christmas with Scotty McCreery', which has impressively been certified gold in the USA.
Success didn’t end there however, his first single from his third album titled, "See You Tonight", successfully reached the highly regarded, America's top 10 on Billboard's Country charts.
Josh Turner is without question my favorite country recording artist. He's got that good ol' Southern charm and a baritone voice smooth as honey butter. His "Your Man" album is one of my top albums of any genre. I was stoked to see him live in 2009 in Salt Lake City. It's always a thrill to see your favorite musician live, and the show introduced me to some great songs I wasn't already familiar with, like Soulmate and So Not My Baby. Oh, and his wife plays the keys. So when he sings a love song, it's adorable. Anyone who's listened to Josh knows his deep voice and Southern upbringing come with a pretty laid back style. I think it would be great listening to outside or in a smoky bar, but in a sizeable concert the energy just didn't seem to be there. He's an awesome talent, but it's a much more toned-down environment compared to Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. I didn't really feel like the live performance was different enough from the albums to make it worth my purchase, although I love the man dearly. Overall, I will be sticking with Josh's albums in the future. But he is amazing, and I think you should check him out and decide for yourself.

I thought that Scotty did a really, truly great job. I thought that him telling us about his cousin dying in the war, along with the fact he wrote a about him and his wife and son was admirable. It was great that he sang old and new songs for us too!

Lorrie Morgan is the pride of Tennessee. She’s been flogging out country and western hits for decades and is showing no signs of slowing. She broke out into the country charts in 1989 with the single ‘Trainwreck of Emotion’ and has been a mainstay in the Billboard Hot Country chart ever since.
She’s had three number ones: ‘Five Minutes’ off her debut, Leave the Light On (1990), the sassy ‘What Part of No’ off Watch Me (1992) and the later single ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’ off The Colour of Roses (2002).
These days she’s no spring chicken, but she’s as charming as ever. She still pulls off the bell-bottomed, low-waisted jeans, the snazzy, silk-embroidered blazer, the oversized jewellery and glittery country guiutar to match. And she still has the warming classic country-singer smile, making happy banter with the audience in her cheeky Southern drawl.
Every song she plays is recognised and given a hearty reception; it is apparent that there are some real fans here. There’s a great amount of starry-eyed singing along and the atmosphere is just like old times.
