\n\u201cThat makes Dad real proud, and that makes me real happy. There\u2019s no rivalry at all. Me and him joined teams, so we got a 40 percent chance. A win for anyone in that group [is a win for me]\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Lukas’ album, “Oh What a Beautiful World,” is also up for Best Traditional Country Album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
