Our Overview.
‘What Makes You Country’ will be Luke Bryan’s sixth studio album. The all American country singer songwriter has already hit the top 20 with the led single “Light It Up”. The 15 track collection was produced by Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens and Bryan co-wrote 7 of the album's 15 new songs, working with top Nashville songwriters including Dallas Davidson, Ashley Gorley, Brad Tursi, Zach Crowell, the Warren Brothers and more.
Luke explains ”My favorite part of making a new album is getting to collaborate with the songwriting community in this town," Bryan says in a press release. "It is important to me to continue to push myself to grow on all levels and I feel like we did that on this project. Making and performing music never gets old and I can honestly say I am having the time of my life. I will be forever grateful to every fan who sings along each night."
The album's title track, penned by Bryan, Dallas Davidon and Ashley Gorley is a far cry from the paranoia and electronic textures of "Light It Up," boasting slashing Telecaster riffs, heavy rock drums and an in-your-face, defiant delivery from Bryan. The superstar explained the thought behind the song on a Facebook Live chat: "It's like, for some reason everybody wants to put you in a category of how country you are," said Bryan, inviting fans to share their own stories at whatmakesyoucountry.com. "My thing is, my explanation of that is, we're all different levels of country, but that doesn't mean you should be judged for it or whatever. It's me pontificating and me saying, 'Let's don’t pick people apart about [whether] they're city or country.'"
