Turner, Stuart, Sweeney release new sounds
Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives head west on "Way Out West," a tribute to the west. Stuart mixes instrumentals amidst the 15 songs. The album was conceived as a love letter by Stuart to California. Produced by Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers),the Fabulous Superlatives are guitarist Kenny Vaughan, drummer Harry Stinson and new member, bassist Chris Scruggs.
Sunny Sweeney once again goes her own way with "Trophy," which she put out on her own label. The Texan, who gained acclaimed a decade ago with "Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame" and later had a hit single with "Drink Myself Single," gets deeply personal on the new release with songs such as "Bottle By My Bed," which explores the desire to have a child. Sweeney, 40, takes more of a Texas country approach on most of the 10 songs.

Then with this title track, Turner pours on the traditional country joy with a pedal steel beauty. The latter makes the honky tonk feel like a church or vice versa. It's just the kind of line ...
They're called "overtones" or pleasing harmonic notes that neatly accompany a main melody. People gifted with them - Josh Turner, for example - essentially have more than one great singing voice in one body. Outfitted with overtones, a good vocalist - Josh Tuner, for example - can accentuate the emotion of a song, each note an opportunity to go a step higher or lower. It's that rare combination of talents that earned Turner a 2007 invitation to the Grand Ole Opry at the ...
Josh Turner's relationship with Cracker Barrel stretches far beyond a love of chicken & dumplings and sweet tea.
