LEBANON, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Starting today, in addition to being able to enjoy real homestyle food
and enjoy some shopping, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® guests
can also take home a copy of Josh Turner's latest album release, Josh
Turner—Live Across America. The 12-track album costs $11.99 and
features live performances of Turner's biggest hits, as well as his
never-before-released version of Waylon Jennings' "America." The
album is available in all Cracker Barrel locations as well as online at crackerbarrel.com,
iTunes, and Amazon.com. Turner previously collaborated with Cracker
Barrel for his 2007 release, Josh Turner—Live at the Ryman. He
took to the road with this new album and recorded the songs at 12
different live shows. Turner's 2012 tour, which runs through December,
is sponsored by Cracker Barrel.
"I'm honored to have Cracker Barrel as my sponsor for my tour this year
and to also be releasing a second album with them. After our first CD Live
at the Ryman (2007), I couldn't pass up this
opportunity, especially since this album showcases my life out on the
road," says Turner. "Cracker Barrel's home-away-from-home atmosphere and
homestyle cooking have always made them one of my favorite restaurants,
so to get to have my music in their retail store is just great."
"Josh's genuine, down-to-earth character shines through his music in
every performance," said Cracker Barrel Marketing Manager Julie Craig.
"We hope our guests will enjoy hearing the excitement of his live
concerts on Josh Turner--Live Across America and have an
opportunity to see him in person on his current tour, too."
In celebration of this album, Cracker Barrel is offering a sweepstakes
with entries being accepted now through September 14, 2012 (5:00 p.m.
CT). One lucky fan and a guest will win a trip to Nashville to meet
Turner and see him perform at the Grand Ole Opry. The winner will be
announced on or about September 30, 2012. See Official Rules for details

About Josh Turner
Earning numerous CMA, ACM and GRAMMY nominations since the release of
his debut album, Long Black Train, Josh Turner has sold more than
five million albums and garnered four No. 1 hits, including three
multi-week chart-toppers — "Your Man," "Would You Go With Me," and
"Why Don't We Just Dance," a four-week No. 1 that was
named the most-played song of the year in 2010 by MediaBase. His
song "All Over Me" from Haywire also reached the
top spot on the charts, making him one of only seven country artists to
have two No. 1 hits in 2010. A Hannah, SC native, Turner has been
songwriting and performing since he was a young child. As a high school
student, he had very little access to music education, so realizing the
importance of arts in the schools, he created The Josh Turner
Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in
arts/music. Turner recently celebrated the release of his fifth studio
album, Punching Bag, on June 12 which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard
Country Albums Chart and includes the hit song "Time Is Love,"
one of his fastest-rising singles to date. People gave Punching
Bag three and a 1/2 out of four stars noting, "The killer baritone
hits you with lots of good old-fashioned country hooks." The
Associated Press said, "With Punching Bag, Turner once again
proves he ranks among the most effective — and most hard-core country —
performers of his generation." For more information on Josh Turner
