Josh Turner has found himself reminiscing on a lot lately. 

Releasing a special deluxe edition of his iconic album ‘Your Man,’ Josh sat down with Cody Alan to recall a special time in his life when his single “Your Man” propelled him into being invited to join the Grand Ole Opry family and ultimately being pranked by Hee Haw star, Roy Clark. 

“I got invited by Roy Clark. They had totally pulled one on me,” laughs Josh.
