Luke Bryan Announces Eighth Studio Album "Mind Of A Country Boy" September 27

Album Pre-Order Open!
"Closing Time In California" Available On All Digital Platforms Now!

Luke Bryan, a five-time Entertainer of the Year with 24 Billion global streams, is set to release his eighth studio album on September 27, Mind Of A Country Boy. The 14-track album produced by powerhouse father and son, Jeff and Jody Stevens, is available for Pre-Order now! To celebrate the announcement Luke is releasing “Closing Time In California” which is perfectly timed with his “Mind Of A Country Boy Tour” concerts in San Diego and Los Angeles, California this week. The song is available NOW across all digital platforms.

Four years have passed since Luke’s last album, and his aptly titled Mind Of A Country Boy is the culmination of a life and career spent studying songs and country music, living the hunting, fishing, and loving everyday lifestyle of its fans, and prioritizing his family. Mind Of A Country Boy delivers playful familiarity, sophisticated growth, and a well-rounded collection of songs from a man who has lived what he sings. And after 17 years in the business, he could rest on his previous success, but he’s leaning in even more.

"I've been able to take my time and really compile songs for this album," Luke said. "If it's a song that I cut two or three years ago, and I still love it, and it still sounds fresh, then I feel like it'll stand the test of time."

"I think this album, as I've tried to do with all my albums, just has a little bit of everything. I do some things different vocally on this one that I've not done before. It's about each song having its place and having its meaning. It's trying not to be overly redundant with songs. I think that's why I've been blessed to have a long career and what I feel like this album's going to do."

And bringing the music to his fans on tour is his favorite thing to do. Over his career Luke has established a legacy of highly successful concert events like “Spring Break” concerts that gathered more than 200,000 fans on Florida beaches, to his 15 years of Farm Tour and the Mexico destination concert experience “Crash My Playa” that will celebrate its ten-year anniversary when it returns next January. Not to mention the more than 14 million fans who have flocked to his headline tours.

"I'm still having a lot of fun in my concerts, and it's still a big ole party. But I think as you grow older and mature, subject matters change and things that you can sing about change. But the love of trying to find the right song and a song that moves people is still at the forefront of what I want to do as an artist."

Luke’s current single “Love You, Miss You, Mean It” has fast tracked up the charts. Music Row’s Bob Oermann claimed the song early on was “written with panache and hooks a-plenty” and was “hit bound.”
