Luke Bryan Vows to Reveal ‘What’s On My Mind’ in Upcoming Album

Luke Bryan’s first album in four years is finally on the horizon. The country superstar announced on Thursday that he’ll release his eighth studio album, Mind of a Country Boy, on September 27, along with the debut of a new single “Closing Time in California.”

“Y’all will finally know what’s on my mind,” Bryan captioned in an Instagram post featuring a trailer for the album. In a statement to People, Bryan elaborated on his creative process for the album, noting that he took his time to “really compile songs” that he feels will “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 explained. He mentioned that he has ventured into new vocal territories on this album, trying things he has 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.”

Bryan is confident that Mind of a Country Boy will contribute to the longevity of his career. “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 album will feature 14 songs, including three previously released singles such as “Country On” and “But I Got a Beer in My Hand.” His last release was in 2020 with Born Here Live Here Die Here. New tracks on the upcoming album include “I’m on a Tractor,” “For the Kids,” and “Kansas.”

Mind of a Country Boy will coincide with the tail end of Bryan’s 2024 tour. On the night of the album’s release, Bryan will be performing in Ohio, and the night after, he’ll be in Smithton, Pennsylvania.
