Josh Turner’s new CD features duet with Ralph Stanley
Country singer Josh Turner releases his sophomore CD Your Man today, January 24th, 2006. The CD may be of interest to readers of The Bluegrass Blog due to the inclusion of a duet with Dr. Ralph Stanley on the gospel number Me And God. Other songs on the 11-song CD also contains touches of bluegrass influence, including some banjo on the song Would You Go With Me. Make no mistake, this is a country album, with some bluegrass sounds added to the mix.
I found this quote from Josh in the Charlotte Observer | Turner faces down sophomore blues:

Universal Music Nashville has made the full audio from that song, Me and God, available on their web site for free live streaming.
