There may be frigid temperatures across many parts of the country, but Josh Turner’s new album, Deep South, is heating things up from start to finish. The multi-platinum MCA Nashville recording artist delivered his sixth studio album after treating listeners to pre-release tracks, “Deep South,” “Where The Girls Are,” “Never Had A Reason,” “Hometown Girl,” and “Lay Low.”
The 11-song album begins with the title track, which is not only a staple summer jam, but also gives a glimpse into the South Carolina native’s Southern pride. Turner sings, “Thank the Lord I’m from the deep south / Let me take you there / Streamin’ down a backroad like we don’t care / I’m from the deep south.”
While Deep South is filled with the country twang that we know and love from Turner, lead single “Hometown Girl” takes a more contemporary turn with an attention-grabbing sound and nostalgic lyrics like, “Went to high school here, got that Panther pride / She’ll be cheering them on every Friday night.” With over 7 million streams on Spotify alone, “Hometown Girl” proves to have been a perfect pick for an early-release single off the album.
