Best 7 Segments From The Bobby Bones Show This Week
A 16-year-old Corey Kent, armed with a $10 ticket and a homemade sign, got an unforgettable moment with Willie Nelson at a Tulsa concert—after the legendary artist threw him three bandanas and invited him onstage to sing 'Milk Cow Blues.' That life-altering night, which included a spontaneous duet and a promise to 'write great songs,' set Kent on a path that led from sleeping in his truck to becoming a triple-platinum country star. But the journey wasn't easy: he was fired as a songwriter, moved back to Texas during the pandemic, worked at a pavement company, and played for $50 and free tacos at a taco shop—only to see his song 'Wild as Her' go viral and land him a record deal. Now, with a new album 'Heartland Rock and Roll' on the way and a surprise duet with a country legend he once admired, Kent reflects on the power of persistence, intuition, and staying true to your roots—even when the odds are stacked against you. The episode also features a gripping fly-in-water story, a debate over teacher gift culture, and a hilarious grip strength showdown that reveals just how strong the show's crew really is.
A 16-year-old Corey Kent got three bandanas from Willie Nelson and sang 'Milk Cow Blues' with him live at a concert—changing his life forever.
After being fired from a Nashville songwriting deal, Kent moved back to Texas, worked at a pavement company, and played for $50 and free tacos before 'Wild as Her' went viral.
Kent’s new album 'Heartland Rock and Roll' is his most personal work yet, and he believes it could be the record people associate with his name for decades.
He followed his gut over data, releasing 'Rocky Mountain Low' as a duet with Coe without radio benchmarks—resulting in the fastest-climbing single of his career.
Kent says the real success isn’t platinum records—it’s his kids still wanting to hang out with him when he’s older and his family still loving him for who he is.
