Josh Turner & Billy Currington Release ‘Best of’ Collections

Both Josh Turner and Billy Currington have greatest hits albums hitting stores this week. The two singers have quite a bit in common. Both released their debut albums in 2003, each releasing four studio albums since with multiple No. 1 hits. 'The Best of Josh Turner' and 'The Best of Billy Currington' became available for purchase today (March 22).

Josh exploded onto the airwaves with 2003's 'Long Black Train,' resulting in one of country radio's longest-charting songs at more than 40 weeks. His 11-track 'Best of' collection features all of his No. 1 singles, including 'Your Man,' 'Would You Go With Me,' 'Why Don't We Just Dance' and 'All Over Me,' as well as 'Long Black Train.'

The South Carolina native was drawn to one of his more recent chart-toppers, 'All Over Me,' because of its feel-good aspect. "'All Over Me' is a song that I really got fired up the first time I heard it: it just really moved and it really had a lot of energy," Josh tells The Boot. "It was probably the most energetic song I had heard up until that point. I thought it was a hit, so I put it on hold and went into the studio to cut this song, and as the musicians started to take off on this song, it really took on a life of its own. Man, the musicians just tore it up. It's very rhythmic. It's got that boogie-woogie type feel to it, especially from the piano aspect of it. It just feels good."

Billy's new disc features 11 songs, ranging from his debut single 'Walk a Little Straighter' to his 2009 chart-topping hit, 'That's How Country Boys Roll,' as well as several of his hits in-between.

He penned 'That's How Country Boys Roll' about his own experiences in southern Georgia. "We wrote that song about how we rolled when we were younger," Billy tells The Boot. "That's how I grew up: just hunting, dirt roads, you name it. I was with two other Georgia boys, and we grew up about an hour away from each other, and they did all the same stuff. We were talking about all of that, and that's how it came about. Somebody said, 'That's how we roll,' and that's how the title came about, and it went from there."

Billy is currently sitting at the top of the country charts with his latest hit, 'Let Me Down Easy,' while Josh isn't too far behind with the Don Williams' remake, 'I Wouldn't Be a Man.'
