If You Like Country Music You'll Love Bradley Walker

If you are a fan of country music check out a guy named Bradley Walker.

Born in 1976 Bradley Walker is a native of Athens, Alabama. He was born with muscular dystrophy, and has been in a wheelchair all his life. He was a student at East Limestone High School where he played percussion in the school band.

Bradley's parents shared a love of music and his mother worked in a music store before he was born. He started singing when he was only four years old, and he grew up on a steady musical diet of vintage country, bluegrass, and gospel. Bradley started singing in talent competitions at the age of seven, and when he was 11, he appeared on the TV series Nashville Now, singing with the Oak Ridge Boys. A year later, when the Oak Ridge Boys sang on Jerry Lewis' annual fundraising telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, they brought him along to perform with them.

In 1998, Walker formed a band, The Trinity Mountain Boys, and began to perform at bluegrass festivals. In 2001, he joined the Georgia-based group Lost Horizon. He was signed to Rounder Records, and released his debut album, Highway of Dreams, in 2006. The album was produced by Carl Jackson. For his performance on the album, he won the Male Vocalist of the Year Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association.

Walker's second album, Call Me Old-Fashioned, was produced by Rory Feek and recorded at the Joey + Rory studio out on their farm in 2016. Walker had known Joey and Rory Feek since 2007, and he was asked by Rory Feek to sing the hymn "Leave It There" at the funeral of Joey Feek in accordance with her wishes. Bill Gaither of the Gaither Music Group, who was also at the funeral service, heard Walker's performance and signed Walker to his label. The album includes a posthumous duet with Joey Feek, "In The Time That You Gave Me", using vocals she recorded before her death.The album was released on September 23, 2016 and debuted at No. 9 on the Top Country Albums chart.

In 2019 Bradley appeared at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival.

n 2020, walker collaborated with Jimmy Fortune, Ben Isaacs, and Mike Rogers to release an album Brotherly Love and a concert DVD/TV special filmed at Rory Feek's barn/studio near Columbia, TN.[13] The album was released digitally on May 29, 2020, and the DVD and CD released on September 4, 2020.[14] The concert film aired on the Circle network on October 20, 2020

Country legend and Elvis Presley songwriter Mac Davis has died aged 78.

Country legend and Elvis Presley songwriter Mac Davis has died aged 78.The musician - who co-wrote several tracks with the late King of Rock and Roll, including 1968 hit 'A Little Less Conversation' - passed away after falling "critically ill" during heart surgery on Tuesday (29.09.20), his manager Jim Morey has confirmed.

In a Facebook statement, he wrote: "It's with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Mac Davis.

He was surrounded by the love of his life and wife of 38 years, Lise, and his sons Scott, Noah and Cody. Mac has been my client for over 40 years, and more importantly.. my best friend.

"He was a music legend but his most important work was that as a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend.

"I will miss laughing about our many adventures on the road and his insightful sense of humor.

"When there was a tough decision to be made he often told me 'You decide.. I'm going to the golf course!' To quote from his song I Believe in Music.. 'I could just sit around making music all day long. As long as I'm making my music ain't gonna do nobody no harm. And who knows maybe I'll come up with a song.'

Tributes have flooded in for the trailblazing star, including a touching piece by Kenny Hesney, who Davis worked with, who remembered him as having "a giant heart".

He told Variety: "I met Mac as a young artist just starting out on my journey, when he was already a legend and a songwriting hero to me. He welcomed me into his home, and turned that tremendous creative light on me. Even though he'd written 'In The Ghetto' for Elvis and had so many incredible hits of his own, he made me feel like what I was doing mattered. A small town boy who'd achieved the greatest kinds of fame, he remained a good guy, a family man. That was Mac: a giant heart, quick to laugh and a bigger creative spirit. I was blessed to have it shine on me. And Mac, who was joyous, funny and created a family around him, never stopped writing great songs, creating music and inspiring everyone around him. He loved his wife Lisa and his kids, and all kinds of people. He kept in touch, always a kind word, a new joke or a piece of song he was working on, which made him a blessing to everyone who came into his life."

Richard Marx tweeted: "This is such a drag. RIP to the incredible #MacDavis. Thank you for your incredible songs and your kindness to me. It was an honor to hear you tell me stories. (sic)"

Country icon Dolly Parton had sent her well wishes to Davis after she heard he was seriously unwell.

Retweeting the news from the official Mac Davis Twitter page, she wrote: "#PrayForMacDavis."

Davis started out writing for Elvis and produced his hits 'Memories', 'In the Ghetto' and 'Don't Cry Daddy'.

He went on to have his own successful solo career, and had a major hit with 'Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me', which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts in 1972, and spent three weeks at number one.

Davis was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000 and awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Away from music, Davis had his own television variety show on NBC, 'The Mac Davis Show'.

And was named one of 12 "promising new actors" in 1979, following his debut feature film starring alongside Nick Nolte in 'North Dallas Forty'.

He later starred on the big screen in movies such as 'Angel's Dance', 'The Wendell Baker Story' and 'Deck the Halls', and several TV shows - including a stint on US sitcom 'Rodney' between 2004 and 2006.

Davis also starred in the titular role of Will Rogers in the Broadway production of 'The Will Rogers Follies'.

It has been announced that country music icon Kenny Rogers has died, aged 81.

According to a representative, the singer-songwriter peacefully passed away on Friday night from natural causes "under the care of hospice and surrounded by his family".

After launching his career in the 1950s, Rogers rose to fame in the '70s and '80s with his signature song The Gambler, which won him a Grammy Award in 1980.

His other big hits included Lady, Lucille, She Believes in Me, Through the Years, as well as his duet with Dolly Parton, Islands in the Stream.

The Texas native was a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, a six-time Country Music Association (CMA) Awards winner, and a three-time Grammy Awards winner.

"Country Music has lost the great Kenny Rogers, who has forever left a mark on Country Music's history. His family and friends are in our thoughts during this difficult time," a CMA spokesperson posted on Twitter after the news broke.

Rogers's family is planning to hold a small private funeral service due to the concern over the coronavirus crisis.
"They look forward to celebrating Kenny's life publicly with his friends and fans at a later date," the rep added.
Kenny was married five times and had five children.
