Summary: Best Male Voice in Country Music Today. Period.
Comment: Josh Turner's 2007 album "Everything is Fine" is a wonderful CD, but you might want to travel back in time a few years to get your hands on this, the most seminal Josh Turner CD, and the one that established him as a force to be reckoned with.
To me, Josh is everything that is right about country music today. He brings in a very traditional-sounding country sound ("Long Black Train", "In My Dreams"), and then fuses it with a more contemporary sound ("Jacksonville", "Backwoods Boy"). Then there are the songs that seem to be culled straight out of a classic George Strait or Randy Travis songbook. All of these elements work in fine harmony, and even if you're not a country music fan, you're obviously going to find something to love on this.
I think Josh's prized asset is his voice and his very unique accent. He can clip down on the twang when he wants to, and accentuates it when he wants to, to fine effect. This means that even while singing 'proper' country songs, he is able to cross over and win some new audiences in other, more varied genres. For example, this CD is a huge hit with both bluegrass and folk audiences.
I also like the cover art on this one - as a cohesive album, I would rate this very highly alongside "Ropin the Wind" by Garth Brooks, as well as with both the Hits Compilations by Tim McGraw. Yes, its THAT good.

Summary: Long Black Train by Josh Turner
Comment: I love listening to him. In this cd he sings about his love for God and how important it is in his life. I love his video of Long Black Train. It is worth taking the time to watch it. I had not heard of Josh Turner until I watched the CMT Awards. I was blown away, not only does he have a super voice he is so good to look at. To each of you this cd is well worth the cost. One or 2 tracks may not be to your liking but they will be after you listen to him a few times. Josh has a voice that can sing any song well.

Summary: Beautiful Title Track - A Few Other Good Songs
Comment: Overall, I'd recommend this album. Some of the songs are mediocre, but Josh Turner has the voice to pull it off.
"Long Black Train" is a good album but a terrific, individual track. The song is haunting and the deep, rich voice of Josh Turner makes for good listening whether or not you are a fan of country music. LBT has such an old-time, revival meeting feel to it that hand-clapping is almost mandatory.
