\u201cI\u2019ve always said that any song you hear coming from my voice, you\u2019re going to hear bits and pieces of those five guys,\u201d shared the singer in a press release. \u201cThey taught me how to be Josh Turner.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project is not only a celebration of some of country music\u2019s most iconic voices, but also one that highlights the brightest budding ones in the genre.\u00a0Maddie & Tae,\u00a0Runaway June,\u00a0Chris Janson\u00a0and Allison Moorer all join Turner on different songs featured on\u00a0Country State of Mind<\/em>. But the classic voices also make an appearance with John Anderson,\u00a0Kris Kristofferson\u00a0and even Randy Travis lending their vocals to the project. Travis\u2019 appearance marks his first recording session following his debilitating stroke in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cRandy has always been my hero. He was the reason I wanted to become a country singer,\u201d explained Turner. \u201cHe\u2019s an inspiring figure, not just to me but to a lot of people, so to have him sing on this record is pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n
