From his 2003 Platinum-selling debut\u00a0<em>Long Black Train<\/em>\u00a0to his 2017 Billboard No. 1 release,\u00a0<em>Deep South<\/em>, Turner has scored multiple GRAMMY\u00ae, CMA and ACM Awards nominations and received six Inspirational Country Music Awards. As one of the youngest members inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, Turner has sold more than 8 million units, topped more than 1.5 billion in global streaming and populated radio with such memorable hits as \u201cHometown Girl,\u201d \u201cWould You Go With Me,\u201d \u201cYour Man,\u201d \u201cTime Is Love,\u201d \u201cWhy Don\u2019t We Just Dance\u201d and \u201cLong Black Train.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With his newest project,\u00a0<em>I Serve A Savior<\/em>, Turner adds an exciting new dimension to his already acclaimed career.<\/p>\n<p><em>I Serve A Savior<\/em>\u00a0is a thoughtful gospel collection that finds Turner\u2019s rich, distinctive baritone paired with timeless classics including \u201cAmazing Grace,\u201d \u201cHow Great Thou Art\u201d and \u201cGreat Is Your Faithfulness,\u201d as well as introducing originals including the title track, \u201cI Serve A Savior,\u201d and \u201cThe River (of Happiness),\u201d written by his wife, Jennifer, and their eldest son, Hampton.<\/p>\n<p>Turner is a disciple of traditional country music, a mentor to up-and-coming artists, and one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry.\u00a0 Turner has been an Opry member for over 10 years and he recently reveled in his 150th performance on the famed Opry circle.<\/p>\n<p>The Hannah, S.C. native has been songwriting and performing since he was a child, and in support of music education, he created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in arts and music. As a high school student, Turner had very little access to music education, therefore realizes first-hand the importance of arts education in schools.<\/p>\n<iframe  id=\"_ytid_66913\"  width=\"676\" height=\"380\"  data-origwidth=\"676\" data-origheight=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AIqSCpYQyQw?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=1&autohide=2&hl=en_US&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multi-platinum-selling country artist\u00a0Josh Turner\u00a0exclusively premiered the live performance video for \u201cI Saw The Light\u201d\u00a0on\u00a0parade.com\u00a0on Thursday (October 4th).
