The album also features two high-profile collaborations. The first, "Another Try," has Trisha Yearwood joining Josh in the studio for a heartbreaking ballad Turner calls one of the best he has ever heard. The second has him teaming up with Grammy nominated R&B artist Anthony Hamilton for "Nowhere Fast," a song Hamilton penned for Josh.

"It was just one of those natural things," says Josh. "I grew up listening to a lot of that soul and R&B, just for fun — Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett. My parents had a pretty big record collection, so it wasn't foreign to me. The fact that (Anthony) wrote the song for me and the fact that we had so much in common made it a great fit for the record."

When it came time to decide the album's title track, an introspective look at his own life made the choice an easy one.

"I got to thinking where I am in my life right now," says Josh. "'Is there a song on the record that kind of speaks to that?' And I got to thinking, 'Everything Is Fine' is pretty accurate."

A big reason for the positive outlook is the new addition in Josh and wife Jennifer's life — their son, Hampton Otis. Since his arrival last October, music has truly become a family affair. With Jennifer already playing piano in Josh's band, when their son was born, the decision was made to take the Turner trio out on tour as soon as the little guy could travel.

Hampton, Josh marvels, handles the road like a seasoned roadie. "He really doesn't know anything different. We've had him out there from an early age. Sometimes he's a better traveler than us."

Now that the one-year-old is mobile, however, a new safety item has been added to the arsenal to keep the tour bus baby proof. It is an accessory that will probably get the parents in trouble when an older version of Hampton flips through some old family albums.

"When (the tour bus) is moving we have this little funny-looking helmet that we have to put on him," says Josh, smiling. "He's going to kill us when we he gets older. 'Did ya'll actually make me wear that?'"

As Josh keeps a watchful eye on Hampton, it must be difficult to imagine the teetering toddler as a moody teenager. Gazing 10 to 15 years into the future provides a fuzzy view at best. However, one thing is certain about the decades to come: Josh Turner will be a member of the Grand Ole Opry. And because of that, everything really will be fine.
