This week on the Bobby Bones Show, Josh Turner was joined by a true country music icon—Randy Travis. The two reunited for a heartwarming performance of “Forever and Ever, Amen,” a song they first sang together back in 2006.
Randy Travis originally made the song a hit in 1987 with his album Always and Forever. Written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz, the song became his third No. 1 single. Fast forward nearly two decades, and Travis teamed up with Turner to give the song a fresh, emotional spin during a live performance.
Fast forward to 2020, and their musical bond is stronger than ever. Despite the challenges Randy faced after suffering a stroke, he didn’t miss a beat, joining Turner on-air to perform the song again—this time even adding his voice to the closing line.
Turner, who was there to promote his upcoming album Country State of Mind, shared that the album, out on August 21, will feature new versions of country classics. He’s enlisted an impressive list of guests, including Runaway June, Maddie & Tae, and Kris Kristofferson, to help him pay tribute to the legends of country music.
And for those who love “Forever and Ever, Amen,” a new studio version with Randy Travis will be part of the album—making it an especially significant moment, as it marks Randy’s first recording since his stroke.
On the Bobby Bones Show, Josh also treated listeners to a performance of his hit “Your Man,” before Randy joined him for their iconic duet. It was a moment full of nostalgia, love, and pure country magic.
