Country star Josh Turner is celebrating 20 years of Your Man, the career-defining album that gave him his first No. 1 and helped cement one of the most unmistakable voices in country music. On this episode of Up+Adam, Josh joins Adam Montiel for a conversation that goes well beyond charts, certifications, and anniversary nostalgia. They talk about hearing the younger Josh Turner inside those recordings, what he knows now that he could not have known then, and the surreal experience of watching a song travel so far beyond its original moment that people around the world now claim it as part of their own lives. Josh even shares the wonderfully bizarre story of a police officer overseas picking up a guitar and playing “Your Man,” proof that the song became much bigger than he ever imagined.
There is also a deeply personal side to looking back. Josh’s wife Jennifer starred alongside him in the original “Your Man” video, forever preserving a young married couple just beginning to navigate fame, family, and a very public life together. Josh opens up about what they see in that video today that the rest of us cannot, why releasing “Your Man” after “Long Black Train” was an intentional move to show another side of him as an artist, and how he has stayed rooted in traditional country music while continuing to prove his range. For Adam, the conversation is full circle too. He was working in country radio when Josh was coming up, crossed paths with him at CRS, and now gets to reconnect two decades later as one of country music’s signature albums reaches a milestone.
The Your Man 20th Anniversary Edition arrives August 14, 2026, with special vinyl, CD, and digital editions, including the fan-favorite bonus track “Hard Headed.” Josh is also currently touring, with dates continuing across the country.
