By his own account, it didnt take Josh Turner a long time to get his fourth studio album, Haywire out to his fans. Haywire has been the quickest record weve ever made from start to finish, the Hannah, SC native says. But I'm glad our haste didnt make waste. I love every single song. His fans sure didnt waste any time grabbing up copies of the album: Haywire debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart and No. 2 on the Country chart, selling 85,000 copies in the process. In Turner's case, haste makes taste.

Seeds Of Haywire: Josh Turner's ride to the top of the charts began with one track and a Long Black Train, the title of his 2003 debut album and first hit single. His 2001 performance of the album's title track at the Grand Ole Opry drew a standing ovation, high praise from his peers, and chart success to boot (the song rose to No. 13 on the Country chart). Wrapped in a blanket of Gospel-meets-Blues, the haunting tune delved into dark themes such as temptation, salvation, and death. But despite its dark themes, the song brought Turner into the spotlight.

Born November 20, 1977, Turner grew up in church where he began to sing bass and baritone parts in various choirs. With dreams of making it in music in his head and heart, right out of high school, he high-tailed it out of Hannah and made his way to Nashville where he first enrolled in Belmont University. Not long after graduation, Turner's life and career turned right side up following his now fateful appearance at the Grand Ole Opry. Just one month later, he was putting his John Hancock on a shiny new record deal with MCA Nashville, and in 2003 released his debut CD.

Now the man, in 2006, Turner was ready to tackle his second album, Your Man, and fans were more than ready to embrace it; the record soared to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the industry bible�s Country album chart, selling over 2 million copies along the way. With his career hotter than a firecracker on the Fourth of July, Turner lit the fuse on his aptly titled third album, Everything Is Fine (over 2 million sold), its success sparked by its first single, Firecracker, which skyrocketed to No. 2 on the Country charts.

Haywire holds 11 cuts, includingWhy Don't We Just Dance; I Wouldn't Be a Man;Your Smile, Lovin You, On My Mind;I'll Be There; and the title track, plus 5 more. I'm really proud of this record, Turner boasts. And well he should be. He goes on to say, this may be his most complete album to date. One thing I've noticed is that you are definitely hearing more of my range, high and low on this album. No matter the range, fans are hearing a heck of a good album from an artist who from day one of his career has heard nothing but accolades and appreciation.
