Luke Bryan releases his new album, What Makes You Country, on Friday (December 8th). The four-time Entertainer of the Year has a list of what makes him country, which includes manners and growing up in Georgia.
“I think that what makes me country is where I was raised — Leesburg, Georgia — how I was brought up saying ‘Yes sir,’ ‘No sir,’ ‘Yes, ma’am,’ ‘No, ma’am,’ hopefully with manners and raised with a work ethic and raised in the outdoors fishing and hunting and playing sports,” says Luke. “I would say definitely it starts with my small-town upbringing and how we were raised; church on Sundays as much as we could. But just enjoying life and living life in a small town.”
Luke is poised to enter the top of the country charts with his latest song, “Light It Up,” which is the first release from his new album, What Makes You Country.
Luke is set to perform on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on December 12th.

But yeah, I would say definitely it starts with my small-town upbringing and how we were raised; church on Sundays as much as we could. But just enjoying life and living life in a small town.”
