Josh Turner wooed his way to Sahaurita, Arizona on Saturday, December 12 for a concert in the desert. He humbly stepped upon the stage in a retro John Anderson T-shirt, and immediately proved his deep voice to be rich, talented, and wanted. Definitely wanted. He started with a "bang" with songs like Firecracker and Why Don't We Just Dance. The crowd was hooked. People stood, cheered, and clapped him welcome, then eased into a communal respect for his voice and talent that carried through the rest of the show.

Turner nobley and noticeably exudes everything he stands for. He's a humble, deep voice with a commentary between songs that cracks up the crowd and up sells his appeal effortlessly. He nailed all his hits and kept himself relevant in a subtle way. His John Anderson tour T-shirt sold him as a down home, simple, country boy rooted in his classic country music upbringing who fit right into the older venue and southern Arizona desert charm.

Seeing Josh Turner live proves that he is a necessity in the country music world and is doing everyone a favor by living his life with God's purpose driving his own; whether that means singing, touring, living for his family, writing his book Man Stuff, rocking a beard for awareness, or just laying low.

What a refreshing sound that is. Josh Turner is on my "Would See Again" list. A few times over.
