Craig Morgan recently released his EP “Enlisted,” on which he enlisted various country music friends to join him on re-recordings of some of his biggest hits along with a couple of new cuts. When Craig performed at the Grand Ole Opry over the weekend in celebration of his 15th anniversary of becoming a member, at least two of those songs came to life right there on the stage.

Trace Adkins was the first to join Morgan on stage, to do a live version of the song they duetted on, “That Ain’t Gonna Be Me,” one of two new songs on the EP. Later, while he was performing his breakout hit, “Almost Home,” Jelly Roll joined him mid-song to recreate the studio magic the two created for the EP.

Last year, JR joined Morgan for the song for the first time on the Opry stage, and relayed what the song meant for him. “Shortly after I got out of jail, I sat right there in row 7 and I cried like a baby and watched [Morgan] sing. I remember thinking ‘I want to make people feel the way he makes me feel right now.'” Craig has his own take on Jelly Roll and that particular song. “Everybody talks about how important that song was to him. What they don’t understand or don’t know…his story was just as impacting on me as the song was to him.”
