Luke Bryan

Sorry to all of you country haters out there but I'm gonna have to talk about it again this week.  This time the lucky artist is none other than Luke Bryan.  The 37 year-old singer out of Leesburg, Georgia is probably one of my favorite country artists at the time and most likely ever.  In 2007, Bryan came out with his first album- I'll Stay Me with his hit song "All My Friends Say."  Personally I didn't like the album very much and thought that the songs were a bit too cliche and almost childish.  Yet I've slowly gotten used to his relatively lowish Georgia croon among other things.  Sure his lyrics aren't the most complex but there is emotion behind them and to me there's a sense of comfort in that, one that makes his music very enjoyable to listen to.

His new album, Spring Break...Here To Party having been just released before spring break was surprisingly pretty good.  Although a lot of the songs are up beat and happy, like "If You Ain't Here To Party, some are slow and thoughtful too, like "Buzzkill."  Some of my other favorites, not on that album include: "Been There, Done That," and "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye."

 

Can't say I approve of his dancing...but it's a catchy song for sure.

This one of my absolute favorites.  I really like that the song is more acoustic and centered around the lyrics and message, not just the music.

One of the coolest things about country music in my opinion is that people can relate to the songs because although some are a bit too cheesy, they are about real emotions and real things.  Plus who doesn't like a catchy song to relax to?
