This week on the Bobby Bones Show, fans were treated to a touching moment when Josh Turner was joined by one of country music’s most beloved legends—Randy Travis. Together, they performed “Forever and Ever, Amen”, a song that holds a special place in the history of country music and in the hearts of fans worldwide. The reunion brought back memories of when the two first sang the song together in 2006, reminding everyone of its timeless beauty.

Originally released in 1987 on Randy Travis’s album Always and Forever, the track was written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz. It quickly climbed the charts, becoming Randy’s third No. 1 single and one of his signature songs. Nearly two decades later, Travis and Turner reimagined the classic with a heartfelt live performance, adding a fresh layer of emotion while preserving the song’s enduring charm.

Fast forward to 2020, and their bond remains stronger than ever. Despite the health challenges Randy faced after suffering a debilitating stroke, his spirit and love for music continue to shine. On the show, he once again joined Turner in performing the beloved song—this time contributing his voice to the closing line, a moment that moved the audience with both nostalgia and admiration for his resilience.

Josh Turner also used the occasion to share details about his album Country State of Mind, which was released on August 21, 2020. The project pays tribute to country’s greatest influences with reimagined versions of classics, featuring guest appearances from stars like Runaway June, Maddie & Tae, and the legendary Kris Kristofferson. For longtime fans, one of the most exciting highlights was the inclusion of a brand-new studio version of “Forever and Ever, Amen” with Randy Travis—his first official recording since his stroke.

To make the appearance even more special, Turner performed his own chart-topping hit “Your Man” before Randy joined him for their iconic duet. The entire segment was filled with warmth, admiration, and the unmistakable magic of true country music. For fans, it wasn’t just a performance—it was a celebration of friendship, perseverance, and the timeless songs that continue to bring people together.
