“Tate is so focused on deer hunting. It’s not even deer season, and he’s been just sitting in a deer stand with no weapon. I’m like, son, what are you doing? I just want to see the deer. I’m like, buddy, that is music to my ears.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

LB-NEW ALBUM SUBJECT MATTER (AUDIO): “You know, I remember being 35, 36 years old at spring break with my spring break albums going, you know, I am 35. It’s probably time to hang this thing up. But I’ve always kind of leaned toward youthful fun, you know, just fun party music. I’ve always made, I mean, I hadn’t been just that, but I think I’ve kind of been put in that. Kind of in that category, which I love and I’ve enjoyed. And when people come to my show, I think they come to have a great time. But this album, there’s more mature type subject matters. And when I’m making it, I’m not sitting there, like I’m not even, it’s not like I have a mood board and we have a thought team of people. It’s just me cutting the stuff that gets me.”

Luke Bryan – “Closing Time In California” (INTRO AUDIO) – “Hey y’all it’s Luke Bryan. Here’s my new song Closing Time In California.”

Luke Bryan – “Closing Time In California” (STORY AUDIO) – “Hey everybody, my new song is called Closing Time in California, and it’s about small town guy whose girl moves out west and kind of the time differences of them trying to keep their relationship together. And I do a little bit different singing in this thing. I’ve never really done a lot of falsetto, and I do it on this song, and I think the fans will love to hear the change.“

Brothers Osborne (Father’s Day-John) OC: …It’s the best. :37
“Father’s Day is funny because I look back and think about what Father’s Days, what we did with our dad, and I think he probably just wanted to play outside and be goofy. It’s the same thing that I want to do with my kids. Like for Father’s Day, I don’t want a trophy or anything like that. I just want to hang out with my kids. I want every day to be Father’s Day. If anything, I personally believe as a father, now celebrating my second Father’s Day, Mother’s Day is 100 times more important. They are like superheroes. We just get to join along for the ride. So, it’s a treat for us just to be allowed in the party as far as I’m concerned, but I’ve never been more proud to be a dad, and it’s the best.”

Brothers Osborne (Dad’s music) OC: (John) …anything else. :34
“Our dad listened to everything from Hank Williams to Willie Nelson to even pop music like Mariah Carey and Tom Petty to Bob Seger. You name it and he listened to it, so we really didn’t think about specific genres. We really just kind of soaked it all in, so we listened to it all at one time. It was just music to us. There wasn’t a day in our house without the radio on or there wasn’t a weekend at our house that there wasn’t a party and people had their guitars out, so music to us is like eating and breathing. It’s just as essential as anything else.”

Carrie Underwood (Father’s Day) OC: …guy all around. 1:18
“Well, I am very lucky in my life to have two incredible fathers – my own father and then I get to watch my husband be a father to our boys – strong, amazing men, I am very lucky to be around them. Mike as a dad is just super involved in our boys’ lives, very hands on. It takes a team, definitely, to be able to support my crazy life and Mike’s always running around doing a lot of charity things and he’s always meeting with people and he’s on different boards and stuff like that, so we’re very much switching off duties as far as taking boys here and there to school and  sports and to all the extra-curricular activities. I just love that I feel like we’re such a great team. I love it that he gets to now work with Isaiah on sports and things like that, and I know he loves it too. So, I think that’s one of my favorite qualities about Mike is just how hands on of a father he is and very willing to pick up the slack when I’m crazy busy. Obviously, he’s just a very Godly father, as well. He keeps God as the center of our family and gets to teach our boys all about that, as well. So, he’s just a great guy all around.”

Caylee Hammack (Dad) OC: …forget that. 1:19
“My dad has this really unnerving ability to be able to build anything at all just by thinking of it. He can look at something and build it in his mind and build it by hand, and it always works. I’ve always respected him for that. He’s a very hard worker.  He’s worked every day of his life. He’s also kind, even when he doesn’t have to be. He’s the type of guy who always gives money at the light to whoever it is on the street. One of my favorite moments with my dad was when we were driving to Macon, Georgia. I was playing a show that night, and we were driving up and we saw this dog and I could tell she was a mama dog. I could tell she had babies somewhere that she was trying to nurse, and she was so skinny. And I’m a bleeding heart. I get it from my Mama, and I just start crying, and I’m like, ‘That poor dog. She’s starving trying to feed her babies.’ I thought, ‘Poor dog.” And my dad doesn’t say anything, goes up two more blocks and pulls into the McDonalds. And he goes through and he asks me if I wanted anything, and I say no. I just think he’s hungry. He goes and he buys three or four burgers, and then he goes back to that block and he drives around until we find that dog to feed it to ‘em. I just remember looking at him, being like this is what a man is; this is what a good man does, and I’ll never forget that.”

Dalton Dover (Father’s Day) OC: …is a virtue. :24f
“So, like growing up, my grandpa was the closest thing to a dad to me, so I want to show my kids the love that I was never, I never got to call anybody Daddy. So I want to be able to show my kids a better life than what I had, which my life was great, but I want to be able to give my children more. I mean, I just want them to know you’re gonna make mistakes, but learn from ‘em, and like my mama taught me, patience is a virtue.”

Dalton Dover (Father’s Day-grandpa) OC: …I am today. :12
“My grandfather taught me to be a man. He taught me that handshakes matter. He taught me so much that I could’ve never taught myself, you know? (He) definitely taught me to be a man, the man I am today.”

Darius Rucker (mother’s qualities makes him a great father) OC: …my mom. :45
“She had a lot great qualities, but she was always, family was first for her. She was always a rock and making sure she took care of us and making sure we had things we needed to have to survive – food and clothes and a home – and seeing that and seeing how hard she worked and all the things she did just really made me the father that I am today. I mean, I’m so crazy and hands-on with my kids. I think it all comes from watching my mom have to struggle so much to support us. And so now, I don’t want me or my wife to ever have to struggle, and I don’t want my kids to ever want or wonder where I am or where there mom is. I want them to always know where we are and always be taken care of, and that all comes from my mom.”

Dierks Bentley (dad & performer) OC: …to do both. :28
“When I get home, it’s a totally different reality that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. Just hanging with my girls and doing the things we do and seeing life through their eyes, it’s incredible. It takes a man to do it. It’s not a boys’ game. It takes a man to do it. I love the juxtaposition to be able to be that man and to also go on the road and act like I’m 13 years old and play video games all afternoon waiting for the fans to show up. So, it’s really a blessing to be able to do both.”

Dierks (Father’s Day) OC: …that’s for sure. :10
“My dad was my biggest influence in country music because my dad loved country radio. So, we always drove around listening to country radio and George Strait, Hank Williams and Randy Travis and all these guys, so. Without him, I wouldn’t be doing this, that’s for sure.”

Eric Church (Father’s Day) OC: …always admired. :29
“My dad is a, I’m trying to find the right words to describe him. My dad is a great guy, honest guy, very call it like he sees it, which is where I get a lot of that. No BS. I’m gonna tell you how I feel whether you like it or not. I’m that guy, I’m me…My dad’s that way, so I get a lot of that from him. There’s also an honesty and an integrity that my dad carries himself with that I’ve always admired.”

Jon Langston (Father’s Day) OC: …just fine. :16
“My Dad has been my hero all my life. He’s the man I want to be one day when I grow up. I’m thankful for all he’s done for me and the sacrifices he’s made for our family. If I’m half the man he is one day, I’ll be just fine.”

Jordan Davis (thing he most enjoys about being a dad) OC: …in the world. :24
“Coming home, having like just a kid excited to see you. It’s like the bad day fixer times 10, you know. I think it makes you realize what’s really important, no matter what it is. You come home from a write where you’re tired or you come home from the road and you’re worn out and you just want to take a nap, but you see the kids and you’re like, ‘Alright. Never mind. I wanna go play wiffle ball in the backyard.’ I don’t know. Seeing them light up when they see you – there’s no better feeling in the world.”

Jordan Davis (Father’s Day) OC: …my music. :45
“The thing I love most about my Dad is just his overall love of life. He’s a guy that’s worked hard and is now at a point where he can enjoy it, and he’s living every day to the fullest. That’s something that I’m very thankful that I’ve seen my Dad do and something to learn from. So, that’s probably my favorite quality about the old man, and just the hard work too. My dad ran a furniture business in Shreveport for a long time with his Dad. It was great to grow up and see a guy work hard and helped his Dad build a business from the ground up to a very successful business, and that’s something that I even try to carry over into my music.”

Jordan Davis (what he wants to pass on to his kids) OC: …is special. :31
“My dad got us outside; he got us outdoors early, you know? We didn’t have to like to hunt and fish, but you were going to the camp. You didn’t have to hunt if you didn’t want to, but you were going to the camp and be outside, and I really want to continue that with them. We’ve got a hunting camp in Arkansas, and you know just getting them around the fire and just getting them to small town living in Arkansas is special.”

Josh Turner (Father’s Day) OC: …one of ‘em.  1:05
“As far as talent and potential, my oldest three, especially, they could do anything they wanted to do if they put their mind to it and their heart was there. My oldest [Hampton] is incredible at playing mandolin. Colby, we kind of noticed him turn the corner lately with the fiddle, and Marion is actually playing a ukulele that’s tuned like the top four strings on a guitar, so in essence, he’s learning how to play guitar. They’ve just kind of started incorporating some singing into some playing, so they’re starting the whole singing and playing at the same time kind of thing, and not only that, they’re even learning to play songs together on their individual instruments. So, it’s amazing to see how much they can learn in such a short amount of time. It makes me realize how much I missed out on when I was that age, ‘cause I did take some music lessons growing up and everything, but I think they feed off of each other honestly. I think that’s why they’re getting so good is because they’re all doing it, not just one of ‘em.”

Kylie Morgan (Father’s Day) OC: …work for it. :29
“I think what I most admire about my dad is the fact of how hard he works. He’s definitely given me that from the beginning. I’ve seen the struggles and the ups and the downs and the late nights and the early mornings that he’s done my whole life to support our family, and that’s truly given me a sense of accomplishment, even from a young age that I knew I was going to be a hard worker. And he told me even from when I was little, he said, ‘Baby, you can have anything you want. You’ve just got to work for it.’”

Luke Bryan (Father’s Day-life lessons) OC: …live by that. :46
“Well, my dad was, I always just go back to the life lessons that always started either in a fishing boat or hunting somewhere, and that’s why I’ve always kind of been a champion of those types of behaviors certainly with your boys and your children because you get to spend time and hand down values. My dad was always big on just hard work and being good to people and a handshake is the contract. A handshake is your bond, your word. His famous saying always was, ‘Do something right the first time and you won’t have to go back and do it over again.’ I won’t say I batted a thousand perfectly on that, but I’ve kind of tried to live by that.”

Maddie & Tae (Father’s Day) OC: …for Father’s Day. :26
“So, for Father’s Day, I made my Dad – I think it was right before I moved to Nashville – I made my Dad this little photo book where it had like his quotes that have stuck with me my whole life and then some pictures, and it was really funky. It looks horrible. It’s not put together, but that’s one of his favorite gifts that he’s ever gotten, and I cherish that ugly photo book thing that I made for him for Father’s Day.”

Mickey Guyton (husband Grant as a dad) OC: …hands-on dad. :33
“The quality I most admire about my husband as a father is he is a very hands-on dad, and he’s been a hands-on dad since the very beginning since I found out I was pregnant. And like he would go and get me a fresh juice and ginger every single day, and then once my son Grayson was born, it’s crazy, like he just wants to be there every step of the way. Like we are a very equal household when it comes to taking care of our son, and I think that is the best thing ever is to watch him be such a hands-on dad.”

Parker McCollum (feeling about becoming a dad) OC: …over the moon. :28
“Heck, right now it’s real quiet and sleep good and real rested, and all that stuff. It probably won’t be that way for much longer. Man, we are so blessed. Hallie Ray’s like a prodigy mom. She was born to be a mother, like that is her calling. She wants to do that so bad. That’s all she’s ever talked about she wants to be a mama. The fact that it’s going so well, and God’s been so good to us, and he’s healthy, I’m just excited about it and she is too. She’s over the moon.”

Parker McCollum (male influences) OC: …a good place. :50
“As far as my Dad, he’s like a real-life superhero. I mean the most incredible, self-disciplined, work ethic. I get my entire work ethic, I think, from him and my granddad, who’s actually my mom’s dad. I’m so lucky the kind of people that I come from, like I had no choice to go out and work hard and try to be successful. My brother definitely – that creative, artistic side of my brain I think it really was…he kind of catered to that when I was a kid. He really put a lot of emphasis on me showing that some love and some attention in trying to be creative and write songs and stuff. But I just think my work ethic and kind of drive to do things the right way come from my dad and my granddad, for sure. Just lucky to have that. I always say if everybody had a granddad like I had, the world would be a really good place.”

Priscilla Block (father) OC: …from my dad. :49
“So, my dad has honestly been my rock star, my whole life. He was the one to bring me to Nashville when I was 15, once I wrote my first song. He’s just really supported me. He was the one driving me to all of my try-outs for every single show I tried out for. And my dad’s taught me a lot. He’s a hard worker, and that’s where my work ethic comes from is my dad. You know, I’m one of five kids, and he always found a way…there was a lot of rough times growing up, and he always found a way to pull through and just keep going, and I think that’s why I stayed in Nashville as long as I have – it comes from my dad.”

Sam Hunt (his two kids) OC: …bit of it. :20
“I still just sit there and look at ‘em sometimes in the morning at breakfast like, ‘how did this happen?’ It feels like overnight. We’ve got two now. There are four of us sitting here, or four of us in the car when we’re driving down the road. Two years ago, it was just Hannah and I. But it’s going great. I think breakfast is my favorite time of the day. We get up and sit around the table we’re having a blast. I’m loving every bit of it.”

Sam Hunt (Father’s Day) OC: …he’s great. :27
“I’m obviously biased about my parents, but I’ve been around a lot of great men of integrity, but he is by far the best man that I know. He’s just taught me so much about being a man, doing the right thing, knowing the difference between right and wrong. And even though I don’t always follow his lead, I definitely know better because of him, and that means a whole lot to me. I was just really fortunate to have him as a dad, and he’s great.”

Travis Denning (Father’s Day) OC: …for sure. :43
“My dad – I call him ‘Diamond Dave’ and a lot of other people do too. Honestly, I don’t know if I drink more with anybody else more than my Dad. I think a super cool thing now is getting older and knowing that I’m starting to get more and more sustained as a human that it’s like my parents get to be friends now with me and my sister, which is such a cool thing. And so, yeah, me and my Dad – we love music and we love heavy metal and we love all that. We get to go to concerts and football games and drink beer and just enjoy that cool part of a father and a son and a mother and a son where now we get to be friends and it’s really cool. My Dad is my best friend, for sure.”

Tyler Hubbard (Father’s Day) OC: …just so special. 1:01
“Well, I think being a dad is one of the most special gifts in the world. I’m getting to watch kids grow up – a big responsibility, but also a lot of joy. I mean, so much fun, and to have three little kids, man, it’s a house full of energy. It’s a whole lot of fun. And one of the coolest things about it that I’ve found is it helps me kind of channel my inner child. It takes me back to being a kid and how much fun just jumping on the trampoline and playing basketball and playing outside and all that really is and how good it is for us. I’ve lost that for quite a few years, getting wrapped up in my career and working hard and just prioritizing that over being a kid and just playing. So, it’s been really healthy and helpful to me to have these kids running around to just kind of channel that little boy inside of me and the person that I want to be and it’s been really healthy and really fun and kind of re-energized me creatively as well as a songwriter and as an artist. So, I’m really thankful to be a dad. Love those three little kids more than anything in the world, and it’s just so special.”

Vince Gill (Father’s Day) OC: …feels like. :33
“Kindness-hopefully make them kind and that’s all we got. Five great kids, a couple of grandkids. Those grandkids are the complete light of my life. You know, they just show up and the rest of the world can kiss my you-know-what. (laughs)  I say, ‘We’re just gonna go swing in the backyard; we’re gonna wrestle on the bed; we’re gonna eat those Goldfish (crackers), you know? And nothing else kind of seems to matter. And then I think what I love seeing, more than anything, for my kid to finally understand what it means to love, and it’s awesome to see my kid finally get it what that unconditional love really looks like and feels like.”

Luke Bryan (future of American Idol) 1 OC: …consider doing. :32
“Everybody’s typically kind of tight-lipped about that, because it’s an annual renewal of something. So, we’re always kind of negotiating the next year and how that looks. I kind of treat American Idol like I do my music career. As long as the show feels like the show is reinventing itself and as long as it looks fresh and fun and I know we’re really doing positive things, it’s gonna always be something that I really consider doing.”

Luke Bryan (future of American Idol) 2 OC: …made it yet. :44
“The relationship with Katie that we’ve had – me and Lionel and Ryan and the show – has been amazing. I don’t know any info on who may be her potential replacement, but it’s a fun thing to be a part of. I think Katie, you know, I think she’s probably launching world tours and stuff where she goes around the world, and so she probably had to make a decision several months out to get in front of her plans. So, yeah, I kind of roll in, we’ll know how the show’s doing and typically everybody’s really fired up at Disney and ABC about it, so we’ll make that decision. Hadn’t made it yet.”

Luke Bryan (Farm Tour 2023) OC: …year after year. :24
“The beauty of Farm Tour is we’re out there on the farm. We’re helping people feed Americans. We’re giving out scholarships. You’ve got 20,000 people piling into an alfalfa field, corn field, hay field, it doesn’t matter. It’s a field. But when you put that many people out there in the Fall where the temps are kinda getting a little cool at night, nothing is more special than Farm Tour and that’s why I keep doing it year after year.”
