Luke Bryan Saddles Up for Eighth Album ‘Mind of a Country Boy’: Stream It Now

Country superstar Luke Bryan has officially dropped his eighth studio album Mind of a Country Boy, available everywhere today, Sept. 27.

The new release marks Bryan’s return to the album circuit after four years, and fans can expect a collection of 14 tracks that dive deep into the themes of family, music, and the simple country life Bryan embodies.

Reuniting with longtime producers Jeff and Jody Stevens, Mind of a Country Boy offers a mix of reflective ballads and feel-good anthems.

Fans have already gotten a taste of the project with the single “Closing Time in California,” which dropped last month.

“I’ve been able to take my time and really compile songs for this album,” Bryan previously said in a statement.

“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,” he continued. “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.”

In addition to his headlining shows and his Farm Tour, Bryan is set to continue his role as an American Idol judge (alongside incoming judge, fellow country artist Carrie Underwood), while his Crash My Playa destination concert in Mexico will celebrate its 10th year in 2025 with performances from Jason Aldean, Kane Brown and more.
