Raising A Country Musician Through Swagger and Psychosis

Raising A Country Musician Through Swagger and Psychosis

Country musician Luke Bell had swagger, talent, and a career on the rise, opening for Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam. Then mental illness took over. His mother Carol shares what it was like raising Luke, the fine line between his bold personality and paranoid delusions, and navigating his years of homelessness and psychosis before his death at 32.

Listen to his posthumous album, The King Is Back. Proceeds go towards mental health treatment for people in Wyoming who can't afford it.


Song List:

The Great Pretender

Rattlesnake Man

Where Ya Been (Music Video)
