Luke Bryan, a country singer and American Idol judge, made a guest appearance on the July 6 episode of Duck Dynasty: The Revival to assist Will Robertson with his songwriting debut. During their Nashville studio session, Bryan grabbed a guitar to test Will's voice talents and provided the following verdict:

"You got a good voice. You're going to Monroe!"

The A&E reality series follows the Robertson family as they balance modern life with their Louisiana roots and faith-based values. In this episode, Willie Robertson came up with a big plan to convince his adopted son Will to move back home from Dallas with his wife Abby.

Willie's idea revolved upon Will's passion of music. He offered Will a prominent place in the forthcoming Live Original Worship Night performance, despite the fact that he had never composed a song before. To help him prepare, the two traveled to Nashville, where Willie used his Buck Commander connections to get Will into meetings with major music executives.

This episode of Duck Dynasty focused on the family's deep relationship and Willie's efforts to bring his children home. Will also received a confidence boost from his friend Bryan, which marked an important milestone in his musical career.


What is Duck Dynasty: The Revival’s Willie’s plan to bring Will home?

Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson launched a comprehensive campaign to lure Will back to Monroe during his visit from Dallas. The strategy involved appealing to Will's musical passions while leveraging family connections.

Willie began by taking Will on a tour of local music history. Their first stop was the monument honoring gospel songwriter Alton Howard, highlighting Monroe's musical heritage. Next, they visited "The Hub," Willie's downtown music venue that hosts significant events, including the Live Original Worship Night.

The emotional component of Willie's plan involved Will's nieces and nephews, who clearly enjoyed having their uncle around. Willie used this family dynamic as what he called "emotional blackmail" to strengthen his case.

The centerpiece of Willie's strategy was offering Will a main performance slot at the upcoming worship concert. This represented a genuine opportunity for Will to showcase his talents, but it came with one significant challenge: Will had never written an original song.

Recognizing Will's inexperience with songwriting, Willie leveraged his business relationships to provide professional guidance. Their Nashville trip connected Will with industry professionals who could help develop his musical abilities.

Luke Bryan's involvement came through his friendship and business partnership with Willie through Buck Commander. The American Idol judge took time to personally assess Will's potential, grabbing a guitar to hear his vocal skills firsthand.

Bryan's encouragement proved crucial for Will's confidence. His professional assessment that Will had "a good voice" carried significant weight coming from someone with his industry credentials and experience judging talent on national television.

The Nashville session also included work with singer-songwriter Tyler Farr, providing Will with additional professional input and songwriting guidance. This multi-faceted approach gave Will access to established industry professionals who could help him prepare for his performance.


The performance and what it entailed

The Live Original Worship Night represented the culmination of Willie's elaborate plan. Will received final preparation from Lauren Daigle and songwriter Aodhán King, who worked him through vocal exercises before his stage debut.

Will's performance on stage in this Duck Dynasty episode succeeded in energizing the audience and demonstrated his musical potential. The evening showcased his ability to connect with listeners despite his limited songwriting experience.

However, the ultimate test wasn't Will's musical performance but whether it would convince him to relocate. Despite the successful concert and his father's efforts, Will announced his decision to remain in Dallas with his wife Abby.


Duck Dynasty: The Revival airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on A&E and is available to stream on the A&E app.
