LUKE BRYAN’S NEW DOCUSERIES IS AN “EMOTIONAL RIDE.”
Luke Bryan says his upcoming IMDb TV Original Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary docuseries is pretty emotional for him and believes it will be emotional for the fans as well.
“To watch the docuseries, I mean it’s just an emotional ride,” says the five-time Entertainer of the Year. “To see footage of my brother when he was young, to see some of these images of me and my sister and us growing up as kids, to and even, the toughest part is actually having my brother-in-law Lee in the interview process. We could have certainly never imagined that he wouldn’t be here. So, I mean, there’s some moments in there where it’s just impossible not to get emotional and shed some tears and I think, as the fans dive into this, they’ll feel all those emotions and really hopefully be wrapped up in this story of my life.”
The five-part docuseries follows the Georgia native as he experiences the ups, downs, triumphs, and tragedies along the road to unprecedented success.

Check out all of details below (including audio liners and soundbites, as well as transcriptions) to create your own content surrounding LUKE’S album release.
Luke Bryan is getting ready to release the deluxe version of his No. 1, RIAA gold certified album BORN HERE LIVE HERE DIE HERE (Deluxe Edition) on Friday (April 9th), adding six NEW songs to the album’s original 10 tracks.
“We all know 2020 was hard on all levels for many,” shared Luke in a press release. “Things were put on hold in the entertainment business, but it did allow more time to make music and I’m excited to share these six new songs.”
BORN HERE LIVE HERE DIE HERE was originally set to release last April, but due to the pandemic the project was moved to August and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, making it Luke’s sixth consecutive appearance in the top position. The album became his eleventh top 10 album on Billboard’s Top 200 since his first appearance with 2009’s DOIN’ MY THING.
The album contains his current smash single “Down To One” as well as four No. 1 hits so far- “Knockin’ Boots,” “What She Wants Tonight,” “One Margarita” and “Down To One,” which landed as Luke’s 26th career #1 single.
“With all my albums I want to have a diverse group of songs and Born Here Live Here Die Here does that,” says the first-ever recipient of the ACM Album of the Decade Award for his 2013 Crash My Party. “We have songs that you could fall in love to. We have some songs that are pretty emotional, and then we have some big, fun party songs. It just checks all the boxes for me. There are songs I’ve co-written with other writers and there are outside songs that when I heard them, I knew they had to be on this album. I’m proud of each one.”
Great songs have always been the foundation of Bryan’s career. From his early days in Nashville as a songwriter, penning such notable hits as Billy Currington’s chart-topping “Good Directions,” to his current status as one of country music’s reigning superstars, Bryan’s career has been populated by songs that have had lasting impact. Country Aircheck declared him the “Most Heard Artist of the Last Decade,” an honor he earned with such No. 1 hits as “Rain is a Good Thing,” “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye,” “Crash My Party,” “That’s My Kind of Night,” “Strip it Down,” “Most People Are Good” and “Fast.” Since his 2009 debut, Bryan has amassed 26 No. 1 hits.
The Leesburg, Georgia native and “American Idol” judge has been named Entertainer of the Year twice by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music and has been honored as a CMT Artist of the Year six consecutive times. He’s won over 40 major music awards and has performed for nearly 12 million fans in the last decade while headlining seven major tours, including 36 stadium concerts, 11 Farm Tours, six years of Spring Breaks shows and six sold-out Crash My Playa events.
