“Down in Georgia” starts the album off with a feel-good declaration of Southern comfort. Turner’s focus for the lead-off track was on texture, layering an arena-ready foundation with acoustic hooks and quick-hitting lyrics from a new batch of writers, who nonetheless captured his current state of mind. “I think they’ve been reading my mail, because I married a girl from Georgia and we actually moved to Georgia last year,” says the South Carolina native.
