Willie Jones in session!

Bob is joined by country/hip hop crossover star Willie Jones for a home session like no other! From his Louisiana front room the US X Factor star plays 2 of his hits acoustically.

This week Bob is joined for a home session by the amazing Willie Jones, who caused a sensation amongst UK country fans when he made his live debut in this country last autumn.

He's a ground-breaking star, fusing urban and country in his music to tremendous effect - Rolling Stone magazine said of his music "despite being steeped in the diction, delivery and aesthetic presentation of hip-hop, it sounds entirely like commercial country: full of clever wordplay, heavily processed banjo and down-the-middle Nashville subject material"

Find out just how he does it tonight, when Willie plays two of his hits direct from his home in LA, and gives Bob the story behind them.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, when so many musicians are unable to tour, Radio 2's Country Show is asking artists to perform from their own front room, doing a little to keep the bond between artist and audience alive. First up was Carly Pearce, followed by Thomas Rhett, Mandy Barnett, Gretchen Peters, Steve Earle, Kip Moore & Lukas Nelson with the likes of Billy Strings, Ingrid Andress, Ruthie Collins and Scotty McCreery to come.
