Luke Bryan reveals ‘What’s On My Mind’ from upcoming album
Luke Bryan‘s first album in four years is on the way. On Thursday, the country superstar announced that he’ll release his eighth studio album, Mind of a Country Boy, on Sept. 27, and dropped the single “Closing Time in California.”
“Y’all will finally know what’s on my mind,” Bryan captioned an Instagram post with a trailer for the album.
In a statement to People, Bryan explained that he took the time to “really compile songs” for the album, and that he thinks the new tracks truly “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,” he said. “I do some things differently vocally on this one that I’ve not done before,” the singer continued. “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,” he added.
The upcoming LP will feature 14 songs, including three previously released singles, including “Country On” and “But I Got a Beer in My Hand.” His last album came in 2020 with Born Here Live Here Die Here. Among the new tracks on the album are “I’m on a Tractor,” “For the Kids,” and “Kansas.”
Mind of a Country Boy will drop at the tail end of his 2024 tour. Bryan will perform in Ohio the night of the LP’s release and in Smithton, Pennsylvania the night after.
