Vernon Kay welcomes country music star Brad Paisley to this week's Tracks of My Years

Ahead of R2's coverage of the Country 2 Country Festival this weekend Vernon Kay welcomes country music superstar Brad Paisley to choose his Tracks of My Years.

Ahead of Radio 2's coverage of the Country 2 Country Festival this weekend, Vernon Kay welcomes Global Country music superstar, singer, songwriter and guitarist Brad Paisley to choose the songs that will soundtrack his life in this omnibus edition of Tracks Of My Years.

Brad grew up in Glen Dale, West Virginia, playing a guitar that his grandfather passed down to him and writing for other stars. Since debuting as a singer in 1999, he has gone on to release twelve studio albums and win countless awards including three Grammys and fourteen Country Music Association Awards, and has been honoured with membership of the Grand Ole Opry, one of Country music’s crowning achievements.

Brad has worked with many of the greats in and out of the country music scene, and he’ll share all the stories with us, beginning with the blues star BB King and the rock legends The Rolling Stones.

Brad’s new album “Son Of The Mountains” is released later this year, and he’s headlining the Country 2 Country festival, 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 BBC Sounds, to that and many featured programmes, just enter the search "Country".
