Josh Turner’s highly-anticipated new album, Deep South, releases everywhere this Friday, March 10TH on MCA Nashville. This is the multi-platinum-selling, award-winning country star’s sixth studio album and the excitement is clear.

“I learned a lot through that process, and I think I grew as a writer and as an artist. But there’s been a lot of life that’s been lived in those four years too,” says Josh. “It’s not just the musical aspect, but the life stuff affects the music side of things. There’s been health things that have happened. We had a child since I started this record making process. The business itself has changed a lot, and there’s been a lot of changes on the business side for me. So, it’s just a really culmination of all that – life and lessons and age and just the kinds of songs that I came across, the kinds of songs I wrote, just the backstories on all of it.”

Turner takes his rich baritone to NBC’s TODAY Show March 14 to perform his Top 15 hit “Hometown Girl.” The catchy tune is moving critics and fans alike with over 100k in digital sales and topping an impressive 60 million streams across all platforms. Before heading to New York, Turner takes to the road for Deep South album release events across the southeast beginning in Key Largo, Fla. March 9; Orlando, Lakeland and Ocala, Fla. March 10; Atlanta, Ga. March 11 and Birmingham, Ala. March 12.

Josh Turner (over four  years since he’s released an album) OC: …four-year span. :41
“This record is going to come out a little over four years after I started the record making process. What’s ironic about this record is that I started writing in January of 2013 for this record. because I wanted to get a jumpstart on the next record because I just knew that it would be a smart idea to try to go ahead and start that process for when they wanted another record. Well, it turns out I had plenty of time, but there was no way I could have foreseen that. But it was a good learning experience for me because I wrote I mean I think at this point of by the time we finally decided what songs were going to be on this record and we finished recording and everything I think I was up to like 75 or 80 songs that had been written in that four-year span.”

Audio / Josh Turner says he’s lived a lot of life and learned a lot as a songwriter since he released his last album, Punching Bag, in 2012.

“I learned a lot through that process, and I think I grew as a writer and as an artist. But there’s been a lot of life that’s been lived in those four years too. It’s not just the musical aspect, but the life stuff affects the music side of things. There’s been health things that have happened. We had a child since I started this record making process.

So, it’s just a really culmination of all that – life and lessons and age and just the kinds of songs that I came across, the kinds of songs I wrote, just the backstories on all of it. It’s been cool to see all of that stuff kind of being boiled down to this project, Deep South.”
