The Robertson family aren't the only stars on the reality series Duck Dynasty: The Revival.

Wait a second, there's a new Duck Dynasty show? There is. If you recall, the first Duck Dynasty was a huge hit when it debuted on A&E in 2012. It followed the exploits of the Robertson family and their Louisiana-based business, Duck Commander, known for manufacturing hunting equipment.
The initial show ran through 2017, spawning a media empire that included books, podcasts, television spin-offs, a record, video games, and plenty of other merchandise. Then, this summer, the Robertsons triumphantly returned to our screens for Duck Dynasty: The Revival.
What's the new "Duck Dynasty" about?
Despite the loss of family patriarch Phil Robertson, who died at the age of 79 from Alzheimer's disease earlier this year, there's plenty of fun on the show to be had. For example, Will Jr., the adopted son of Willie and Kortie Robertson, is getting older. While his beard may not be as impressive as the rest of the men in his family, he is an aspiring musician who needs a mentor.
That's where our star cameo comes in.
The Family Heads to Tennessee
On a recent episode of the show, the father-son duo head to Nashville. Willie then calls in a favor to one of the partners of Buck Commander, the deer-hunting division of his company, to offer Will Jr. some advice about the music business and provide him with some songwriting inspiration.
Willie's business partner just happens to be Luke Bryan. No big deal, right?
Will Jr. didn't seem impressed. When Bryan asked him if he was going to start writing songs, he replied, "I am. It's perfect that we're here just because you've written...a few songs."
Yes, Will Jr., Bryan has written a few songs. Have you ever heard "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" or "One Margarita"? Since Bryan is already a mentor on American Idol, he offered the aspiring musician some sage advice: "I always said just get out there and live."
Luke Bryan Offers Some Good Advice
Bryan also shared with Will Jr. how he writes.
"I think you just gotta find a place that's your place to kind of do your work," Bryan said. "You wanna develop somewhere that you've kind of got a little connection to. I don't know what your home situation is, whether you're out in the country or here in an apartment somewhere. Pick a room in there where you can (write)."
That's excellent advice if you ask us.
