June 12, 2012/by Sarah Skates

Josh Turner’s fifth studio album, Punching Bag, was released today by longtime label MCA Nashville. The singer will mark the occasion with a performance tomorrow (6/13) morning on NBC’s Today show.

Lead single “Time Is Love” is already a top 15 hit. Turner co-wrote eight of the 11 tracks on the project which features guest vocals by Marty Stuart, Iris DeMent, Ricky Skaggs, wife Jennifer and children Hampton, Colby and Marion.

Turner is the cover story of the June 18 issue of Country Weekly, and is set for appearances on GAC’s Josh Turner: Packing A Punch, PBS’ A Capitol Fourth (7/4), and ABC’s Good Morning America (7/11). His album will also be featured this week on the Best Buy Theatre marquee in New York City’s Times Square.
