Josh Turner pays props to plenty of Nashville legends on his new album Country State of Mind. In addition to covering classic tunes by the likes of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and more, Turner also joins forces with several living musical legends on the project. Most notably, Turner duets with Randy Travis on a new version of his 1987 hit “Forever And Ever, Amen”–marking Travis’ first time in a recording studio since his 2013 stroke sidelined his singing career. Other guest artists on the LP include Kris Kristofferson, Runaway June, Maddie and Tae, and Allison Moorer. Chris Janson also features on the album’s title track, which is a cover of a Hank Williams Jr. hit from 1986 – and what we’re checking out today.
