AUDIO CUT X CUT: 

Audio / Luke Bryan - Mind Of A Country Boy (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Mind Of A Country boy (Story Audio): “Mind of a Country Boy, obviously the title track of my album. When we wrote this, we wanted to put a lot of stuff in the song that’s like really country stuff that you got to be a country boy to know what I’m talking about. And I think we were able to do that. We tried to, there’s a lot of cliche stuff that can go in a song describing country boys, but we tried to do, you know, we tried to come up with some new terminology. And I think we did a pretty good job.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Love You Miss You Mean it (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Love You Miss You Mean it (Story Audio):Love You, Miss You, Mean It is obviously my current single that’s out. And when I heard the song, it just kind of made me think about my marriage and my relationship with my wife. We kind of dated in college, took some time off and then we finally got back together. So this song tells the story of young love taking a little break and then circling back around and making it happen.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Country Song Came On (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Country Song Came On (Story Audio): “Country song came on, country song came on is like a honky tonk gem for me. When I heard it, I was like, you know, it brings me back to the days when I was playing a lot of honky tonks early in my career. And the fact that I was able to put ETC, which is a nod to Earl Thomas Connelly, one of my favorite artists ever, just makes me smile every time I hear it. And this song will definitely make you want to drink a draft beer.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Pair Of Boots (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Pair Of Boots (Story Audio): “Pair of Boots is obviously, I got three boys in the house. They’re tracking mud all through the house with their boots. And hey, boots are a rite of passage for certainly boys and boys around my house. So when I heard this song and how the songwriters were able to color the pictures of what boots are in a rural country family, it’s pretty special stuff. And I love everything about this song. One of the best written songs I’ve heard in a while. And so glad it’s on this album.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - But I Got A Beer In My Hand (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – But I Got A Beer In My Hand (Story Audio): “But I Got a Beer in My Hand is obviously a single that we had out last year. And hey, it’s just big old fun when you got a beer in your hand. There’s no way not to have a good time.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Kansas (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Kansas (Story Audio): “Kansas is certainly a love song in the way the writers were able to describe love by using Georgia and California and Colorado and obviously, you know Doing the analogy of wheat fields in Kansas. It’s just a really well done song and I cannot wait hopefully to be doing this in front of a lot of people one day.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Country On (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Country On (Story Audio): “Country On was obviously the first single off this project and I love the patriotism in this song. I love the unity that the song creates and from the rodeo imagery to the small town sports stuff to the Hey Hey USA. Been doing this song for a year and a half on the road and anytime I get the crowd singing Hey Hey USA it’s pretty powerful, watchin’ everybody be proud to be part of this great country of ours.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Fish On The Wall (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Fish On The Wall (Story Audio): “Fish on the wall is just a good old fun kind of up tempo that reflects back to what was on my brain when I was in those teenage years, my formative years. But all we were really trying to do was just, like I said, go try to catch a big fish, something that we were proud of, and brag about it to all our buddies.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - She's Still Got It (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – She’s Still Got It (Story Audio): “She Still Got It is a really well done song that talks about a guy in a bar seeing an old flame of his and realizing, man this girl, she still got it. The way they wrote the verses with the images in the verses are really, really cool. It’s one of the more, it’s like a whisper kind of singing style and it’s something that I’ve never done. I’m not good at whispering. I’m typically the loudest person in the room. So when I had to kind of really sing this song soft, it was a learning curve for me and it’s a really tough song to sing, but I love how it turned out.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Closing Time In Califorina (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Closing Time In Califorina (Story Audio): “Closing Time in California is a new style of song that I’ve never done. Obviously using the falsetto in the choruses is, I’ve done it on a couple things through the years, but this is, you know, a lot of people have commented on that and just the, you know, just the challenges of the guy that’s singing the song, trying to still be in love with a girl all the way across the country, coming home late, he’s waking up. I just love the whole mood of this song and you can really feel the hurt that the writers did a good job at just making you feel the hurt that this guy’s going through.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - For The Kids (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – For The Kids (Story Audio): “For the Kids is definitely one of the more emotional songs that I’ve ever written. I think when you hear the power of this, so many marriages out there go through different phases of their marriage and I think anybody with a long-term marriage has woke up and they’re like, yeah, the only thing that’s keeping us going is these kids. Because kids, they don’t mean to but they are… they demand a lot. And so sometimes the marriage gets a little pushed in the background because of the kids. So this song touches on all that. And I think at the end of the day, I hope it makes married couples kind of sit back, sit on the porch and go, hey, let’s have a day for ourselves and not always be for the kids every single day.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Southern and Slow (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Southern and Slow (Story Audio): “Southern and slow is just, hey, it’s about slowing it down from time to time. And when you’re in the country and when I go home down to my place in South Georgia, I slow it down a lot. A lot of times I never even hit the pavement. I go to the dirt road and I don’t see pavement for like a week. And that’s what southern and slow is all about.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - I'm On A Tractor (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – I’m On A Tractor (Story Audio): “I’m on a tractor is just the perfect picture of me getting out there on my farm, riding around on a tractor, checking out. The cell phone service doesn’t work. And the beauty of being on a tractor is you wake up and there’s like a field of hay or grass and then you get done on the tractor and you’ve just, you’ve cut the hay, you did some plowing, some tilling, and you can look back at your work and be like, hey, I just did that. And I’m on a tractor is about those moments and just kind of checking out mentally.”

Audio / Luke Bryan - Jesus 'Bout My Kids (Story Audio)

Download

Luke Bryan – Jesus ‘Bout My Kids (Story Audio): “Jesus About My Kids is just about teaching your kids the relationship of their faith and the relationship with Jesus and how, gosh, I mean, you pray so much for your children’s health and happiness and well-being and make sure that they live this life and get through this life. And then, you know, just how the songwriters were able to… do the little twist to make this work is really, really special. And I think this song is gonna touch a lot of people’s hearts because we’ve all, you know, we’ve all been there. You know, I used to talk to my kids about Jesus and now I’m talking to Jesus about my kids is just a great way to state something that’s so real and I can’t wait for people to enjoy this song.”
