After winning country music’s song of the year Wednesday night, to say Shreveport mother Luwanna Davis is proud of her sons Jordan and Jacob is an understatement. The pair are co-writers of the song Buy Dirt and Jordan sings the hit with Luke Bryan. Luwanna Davis remembers when Jacob played music in college.
“And he sang every week, at this little bar close to LSU and just got a huge following. And Jordan would sort of just carry the equipment in and get in free,” Luwanna Davis chuckled.
When her sons were starting out in the business, Luwanna Davis said she’s never forgotten what one of Jacob’s producers told her, that he believed her sons were making history.
“Because there’s never been a brother act coming up at the same time in the same genre unless they are a duo. And evidently, I think they are (making history), Lawanna Davis said.
She said they grew up in a musical home, their father was always writing songs and she played piano for their church, and it was just a natural progression for her sons to be performers and songwriters.

“You can’t really just put it in one sentence, it’d be a paragraph and I get too wordy,” Luwanna Davis laughed.
Buy Dirt beat out fellow Louisianan Lainey Wilson’s Things a Man Oughta Know for Song of the Year. Wilson however didn’t go home empty handed she won Female Vocalist of the Year and New Artist of the Year.
