After a four-year hiatus, country music star Luke Bryan is making a major comeback. Following the release of several singles, the 48-year-old country music legend has officially announced his upcoming eighth studio album, 'Mind of a Country Boy'. Producers Jeff and Jody Stevens are reuniting with Luke Bryan for the fourteen-track album.
Bryan's previous album, 'Born Here Live Here Die Here', was released four years ago. His upcoming album explores his core passions—family, music, hunting, and fishing. Luke stated, "I've been able to take my time and really compile songs for this album."
"On this one, I vocally do a few things differently than I have in the past," he continued in his statement. "It's about every song having a purpose and a place. It makes an effort to avoid using too many music. 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."
