Content


The album is composed entirely of cover songs. First released was Turner's cover of Randy Travis's "Forever and Ever, Amen", which features Travis on duet vocals. The recording was Travis's first since his 2013 stroke.[1] Other artists whose songs are covered on the album include Patty Loveless, Vern Gosdin, Hank Williams, and Hank Williams Jr. Kris Kristofferson provides duet vocals on a cover of his own "Why Me", and John Anderson on his "I've Got It Made".[1] Other collaborators on the album include Chris Janson (who sings on the title track), Allison Moorer, Runaway June, and Maddie & Tae.[2]


Critical reception


Rating it 3.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated that "Unlike some country covers albums, Country State of Mind doesn't rely heavily on shopworn classics." He also called the album "simple, straightforward, and satisfying", praising the inclusion of cover songs from the 1980s as well as the vocal contributions of Anderson and Kristofferson.[3]
