Hmm.Well, this is kind of an unusual situation: a modern country singer choosing to resurrect an old country song

@djtenn you are spot on. We are trying to fit this into the country genre and its not working.

I guess it’s all in how you look at it. But the chorus says to me that he finds this girl so attractive and irrisistable that it would be impossible for a man to not love her. Or in other words, the only way someone could not be into (in love with) her is if they aren’t a man or live somewhere that love does not exist. That’s the point I think he wants to convey.

guys, this is a pop record. it’s not a country song. that’s why I think it’s never found a big audience. it’s adult contemporary & soul. but not michael bolton”ish. I’ve never been impressed with the lyrics but the musical composition has always floored me everytime. Still, no other country singer should record this song!

I agree, great review, im really just not a fan of his voice as it is way too deep for my taste.

I hate to do another “I agree with everything everyone has said” post, but…yeah. I agree with everything everyone has said. This review was spot-on. It was both relatively in-depth for this site and fun to read, and it’s arguments are very strong and presented well. Too bad for Turner. Idk, though. Not much-if anything-on ‘Haywire’ grabbed me outside of “Why Don’t We Just Dance.” If he were going to do a ‘sexy’ single, then “Lovin’ You on My Mind” might’ve been a better choice.

I will say that Turner’s version is better than Billy Dean’s was, but I’ve always thought this song was weak. I’m surprised that it’s been reincarnated three decades in a row.

I’m a big Josh Turner fan, and like this song. Not my #1 of his, but I think it’s better than a C rating ;)

I did like “Walk on Faith” by Mike Reid.
