Josh Turner Biography. A native of Hannah, SC, deep-voiced Josh Turner burst on the country scene in 2003 with the powerful "Long Black Train," a song Turner had written after listening to a Hank Williams box set. Sounding like a gospel-blues out of the 1940s, "Long Black Train" wrestles with the grand themes of temptation, salvation, death, and redemption, and the song quickly brought Turner national media attention. His first album, Long Black Train, produced by Frank Rogers, was released by MCA in 2003. Prior to the album release, Turner had issued two 7" vinyl singles, "She'll Go on You" and "Long Black Train," both backed with the same B-side, "Backwoods Boy." A second album on MCA, Your Man, was released in 2006 and reached number two on the Top 200.

Carrie Underwood Top Winner At American Country Awards Carrie Underwood Top Winner At American.When it comes to Las Vegas, Carrie Underwood is a sure bet.

Underwood won her second country music artist of the year award of 2010 in Sin City on Monday night (Dec. 7). She earned it at the inaugural American Country Awards about eight months after she won the top honor at the Academy of Country Music Awards in April.

In both cases, fans determined the winner. And when it comes to fan support, Underwood has no match. Her fans vote early and often - a holdover from her time as "American Idol" champion - and she made sure to give a shoutout to her supporters after winning six awards.

"We have had the most amazing year out on the road but we wouldn't be doing anything if there weren't people out there sitting in that audience," Underwood said from the stage at the MGM Grand, where the ACMs also are held.

"So to everybody that came out to see us [or] anybody else out here, you guys are awesome for supporting us like you do. God bless the fans."

Lady Antebellum took home four Fender Stratocasters given out as trophies and Easton Corbin finished with three wins, including breakthrough artist of the year. The two acts were tied for the most nominations with seven.

Along with artist of the year, Underwood won album of the year for "Play On" and tour of the year.

Lady A won single of the year for the trio's breakthrough, "Need You Now," and artist of the year: duo or group. Brad Paisley was voted male artist of the year and Blake Shelton and host Trace Adkins won music video of the year.

The show was performance heavy and featured Rascal Flatts and Alan Jackson performing medleys of their hits after tributes, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan teaming up on "My Kinda Party," and Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, Josh Turner and the Band Perry playing recent hits.

Adkins opened the show by declining to wear a pair of "meat chaps" offered by the show's producers, a la Lady Gaga's meat dress, in a pre-taped comedy skit. He also appeared to skip the monologue.

So who got kicked off American Idol. The results show of Frank Sinatra Week? Surprisingly, it was not Casey James. Going in, if one were to rewind and take a look at

the performances, one might have a difficult time attempting to figure out who of the Top 5 -- Casey James, Aaron Kelly, Crystal Bowersox, Lee Dewyze, Michael Lynche would end up with the least votes. But if one were to listen to the judges' critiques, it wouldn't have been difficult at all. Casey James was told he sounded like a lamb and that it was his worst performance ever. But in the end, Casey James wasn't even in the Bottom Two. It came down to Big Michael Lynche and little Aaron Kelly. Again, if one watched the performances, Michael Lynche's performance was superior, but in American Idol voters' minds, popularity trumps superiority in vocal stylings and overall performance (which explains how Tim Urban got past the first episode with the Top 24). So, who got kicked off American Idol on May 5? Aaron Kelly. Aaron Kelly performed Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" Tuesday evening. It wasn't that he didn't do enough with the song, because the 17-year-old was superb, but it sometimes really does come down to popularity and the number of votes. All Top 5 American Idol contestants have tremendous voices and in the end, it simply came down to which competitor ended up with the least votes after the two-hour call-in period. Instead of going back and choosing a farewell song from his past performances, Aaron Kelly went with "Fly Me To The Moon," Harry Connick Jr., this week's mentor, accompanying him on the piano. Watch Aaron Kelly perform in the following video...
