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. CDT).  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.
