    Josh Turner Delivers a Soul-Stirring Rendition of “He Stopped Loving Her Today”
    Josh Turner has a gift for channeling raw emotion, and his performance of the iconic ballad “He Stopped Loving Her Today” was nothing short of mesmerizing. With his rich, resonant voice, Turner pulled the audience into a tale of eternal love and heartbreaking loss.

    As he sang, the venue fell into a hush. Turner’s voice, heavy with sorrow and depth, told the story of a man whose love endured until the end of his life. When Turner reached the song’s crushing final chorus, his delivery was so powerful that the crowd responded with a thunderous wave of applause.

    “You know, she came to see him one last time. Aww, ‘n’ we all wondered if she would, and it kept runnin’ through my mind: ‘This time, he’s over her for good.’ He stopped loving her today,” Turner sang, with aching tenderness.

    A Timeless Song From a Country Legend
    Originally recorded by George Jones in 1980, “He Stopped Loving Her Today” has long been considered one of the greatest country songs of all time. It was the lead single from I Am What I Am and marked Jones’s first solo No. 1 in six years.

    Jones himself credited the song with reviving his career, famously saying that “a four-decade career had been salvaged by a three-minute song.” The track won him the Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance and swept awards at the ACMs and CMAs, even earning Song of the Year twice in a row at the latter.

    Josh Turner Keeps the Legends Alive
    Though Josh Turner is a modern country hitmaker, he remains deeply rooted in tradition. His recent album Country State of Mind is a tribute to the artists who shaped his sound, featuring covers of beloved classics and deep cuts that hold personal meaning.

    Turner cites five towering influences—Randy Travis, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, John Anderson, and Vern Gosdin. “I’ve always said that any song you hear coming from my voice, you’re going to hear bits and pieces of those five guys,” Turner shared. “They taught me how to be Josh Turner.”

    According to a press release, Country State of Mind presents Turner as a true “disciple of country music history,” with tracks that span over 50 years of the genre. The album includes duets with legends like John Anderson, Kris Kristofferson, and Chris Janson. It’s his first studio album since his 2018 gospel record, I Serve a Savior.

    Before diving into that album, though, take a moment to revisit Turner’s moving performance of “He Stopped Loving Her Today” from five years ago. While many believe only The Possum could deliver it right, Josh Turner’s version—rooted in reverence and authenticity—offers a powerful and unforgettable take.
