Josh Turner releases his fourth studio album, Haywire, today, which features his freshly-minted #1 hit "Why Don't We Just Dance." The tune snags the top spot this week on the Billboard Country Singles chart for Josh, making it Turner's third chart-topper of his career.
Josh reveals just what else fans can find on his new CD besides the hit debut single:
"I think the record is definitely covering a lot of bases, so I think Haywire is a good title for the album because we've got everything on there, from kind of a bluegrassy number to just hard driving country songs. There's one kind of a old school R&B type song on there and there's a gospel song on there that I wrote that I feel like is my best yet, so it covers a lot of, you know, parts of my personality."
Fans have the option of purchasing either a regular or deluxe edition of the album. The deluxe copy includes the addition of two unreleased tracks, live versions of Turner's #1 "Your Man" and "Long Black Train," the "Why Don't We Just Dance" music video, behind-the-scenes footage and more!

While rumors swirled that Taylor Swift and Kanye West would be working together on the Quincy Jones all-star sequel to "We Are The World" to benefit Haitian earthquake relief efforts, it's just not true. Swift's publicist told CMT.com, "It will be a wonderful event," but noted that Taylor planned to fly out to Australia right after last night’s Grammys show to start her tour.
The original version of "We Are the World," released in 1985, featured co-writers Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie singing along with a cast that also included Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan to name a few. Entertainment Weekly reports that, "We Are The World 25," will be recorded in Los Angeles today in the wake of last night’s Grammy Awards show. Sugarland is confirmed to participate in the event.
Thursday night’s Willie Nelson concert at North Carolina’s Duplin County Events Center was canceled by the legend due to his hand hurting too badly to play, according to The Washington Examiner. Back in 2004, Willie had carpel tunnel surgery on his hand. In an interesting turn of events, an hour before the cancellation, six members of Nelson’s band and crew were caught possessing moonshine and pot. They have been charged with misdemeanor possession offenses. However, Willie’s daughter did confirm via his website that the show was in fact called off due to her father’s bum hand.
