Product Description
As a family man, a philanthropist, a devoted Christian, and a passionate sports fan, you might say Josh Turner s commitments run as deep as his voice.
Of course, he s also a double-platinum-selling singer, songwriter and disciple of traditional country music, a mentor to up-and-coming artists and one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry.
All of those layers construct Josh s new album, Punching Bag. His fifth for MCA Nashville, the record is a knockout collection of bluegrass-influenced barnburners, lonesome laments, and the slow and steady love ballads on which Josh s trademark baritone excels.
The follow-up to 2010 s Haywire, which yielded the No. 1 hits Why Don t We Just Dance and All Over Me, Punching Bag represents Josh in fighting shape. Throughout all 11 songs, he bobs and weaves like a champ, exhibiting new range in both his voice and his songwriting. Josh penned eight of the record s eleven tracks, including the rollicking title song that, he says, set the tone for the entire project.

By M. Mariba
This is country singer-songwriter Josh Turner's 5th studio album titled 'Puching Bag'. The CD (12 tracks) is a collection of great country music by Josh Turner about love as well as the gospelly "Pallbearer" & " For The Love Of God", showing his Christian roots/side. His vocal range is infectious as ever on this CD. Stand-outs/gems/solid tracks include "Deeper Than My Love", "Good Problem", "Whatcha Reckon" & my personal favourite "I Was There" (slow-tempo track with wonderful melody). His critically acclaimed 2010 CD release 'Haywire' had two #1 singles, hopefully he may do the same from this CD 'Punching Bag'. Great tracks include "Punching Bag" (title track following the annouchment by the legendary Michael Buffer in track one), "Time Is Love", "Cold Shoulder" (incredible baritone vocal range vocals) & "Find My Baby". Okay tracks are "Pallbearer" (gospelly track), "For The Love Of God" & "Left Hand Man".On overall, Josh Turner doesn't disappoint in this 5th studio album. His vocal range is incredible, a highly recommended CD listening.

By seascoastkid
Let me just say that this is a wonderful CD. It is not perfect, but is an excellent example of easy listening, classic country music. After a run-through the seasoned country fan will see the differences in how Josh Turner does not follow strictly some of the more pop-oriented country that is beginning to take over the CMAs.Josh stays true to his roots and this selection of songs puts you in your imaginary seat at the Grand ol' Opry. Simple, clean, not much overproduction, just a good solid country album with quality singing throughout from the Josh T. we have come to expect.My only qualms with the CD is that it probably overemphasizes the one on one relationship between man and woman a bit too much and Josh doesn't deliver his "long black train" baritone with enough regularity. Would prefer an album with a larger variety of subject material.Nevertheless, the songs are quite good and very country--in a good way! Well worth the purchase and fully deserving of 5 stars. A great introduction into the country genre for new fans, or a mainstay for those already fans.

By Gina R. Dalfonzo
A strong album that just keeps getting stronger as it goes. Josh's voice sounds better than ever, and he's got a great collection of songs with his trademark traditional sound. I especially love "Cold Shoulder" and "Pallbearer," and most of all the delightful "Find Me a Baby"!
