Gary Davies sits in
Ahead of Radio 2's coverage of Country 2 Country Festival this weekend, Country star Brad Paisley chooses his Tracks of My Years. Plus there鈥檚 Album and Record Of The Week.
Ahead of Radio 2's coverage of Country 2 Country Festival this weekend, American Country singer, songwriter and guitarist Brad Paisley chooses the songs that soundtrack his life on Tracks Of My Years.
Brad grew up in Glen Dale, West Virginia, playing a guitar his grandad gave him at events around the town. His initial break into the music industry was in the late 90s where he signed a songwriting contract to write for other stars.
Since debuting as a singer in 1999, Brad has gone on to release twelve studio albums and win countless awards including three Grammys, fourteen Country Music Association Awards and been honoured with membership of the Grand Ole Opry, one of Country music鈥檚 crowning achievements
Brad鈥檚 new album 鈥楽on Of The Mountains鈥� is released later this year and he鈥檚 headlining the Country 2 Country festival, this year at the O2 in London, the OVO Hydro in Glasgow and the SSE Arena in Belfast, from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th March. You'll be able to follow the festival from around the UK live on Radio 2 on Saturday and Sunday as well as listening back on 大象传媒 Sounds.
Brad's two tracks today come from Buck Owens and Bonnie Raitt.
There'll also be more audio nuggets from the 大象传媒 Archive in Vernon's Vault; there's Record and Album Of The Week and two more contestants try their luck in the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.
Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
