With a deep, rumbling bass voice and a commitment to crafting timeless, authentic music, Turner continues to carve his own path through an ever-evolving industry.

Since his stunning debut in 2001 with the breakout hit “Long Black Train,” the South Carolina native has become a fixture on the Grand Ole Opry and a beloved figure in the country music scene. Known for blending classic country, gospel, and Appalachian influences, Turner has sold over 6 million albums, including Platinum and 3X Platinum-certified records like Long Black Train and Your Man. He’s also earned five Number One hits, more than 5 billion career streams, and 15 RIAA certifications.

Despite the shifting trends in country music, Turner has stayed true to himself. He’s consistently pushed to balance the rich tradition of country music with fresh, new sounds, all while staying grounded in his roots. “This is who I am. This is who I was born to be,” Turner says. “I’ve never lost my love for this.”

Turner’s commitment to country music remains steadfast, and This Country Music Thing showcases the full range of his artistry. From upbeat, danceable tracks to tender, heartfelt ballads, the album exemplifies what Turner has always done best: blending the old with the new, the familiar with the fresh, all while staying true to the heart of country music.

As Turner reflects on his career, he remains grateful for the journey. “I’m always trying to win fans over, even at this stage of my career,” he says. “But I’m definitely having fun. Just being able to do this for a living is something I don’t take for granted.” At 10 albums in, Turner is still doing this country music thing—and doing it better than ever.
