During his performance Saturday night at the Grand Ole Opry – Jamey Johnson was informed by Whispering Bill Anderson that he was no longer allowed to perform as a guest.

That’s because after 17 years of appearances, Jamey was invited to be the newest member of the Opry.

Jamey happily accepted the invite – joking that he’s been ready to accept an invitation to the Grand Ole Opry for 20 years.

Watch the moment here…

One of the many fan favorite’s from Jamey’s catalog is his hit song “In Color.”
