Luke Bryan freaks out
Tuesday, March 4, 2008 – Luke Bryan woke up this morning to hear he had received his very first award nomination from the Academy of Country Music for "Best New Male Vocalist."
"Mama's going to freak about this one," he said "I'm freakin' out even more. Honestly, it's such a feeling of accomplishment. I can't even put it in to words."
Bryant's debut came out last summer, and he enjoyed a hit with "All My Friends Say." Bryan's new single "Country Man" goes for adds at country radio on March 24.
Bryan has been touring since the beginning of the year. In January, he opened for Trace Adkins "American Man" tour and is currently out with Dierks Bentley and his "Throttle Wide Open" tour. He opens the summer with being part of 12-time fellow ACM nominee Kenny Chesney as part of his "Poets & Pirates" stadium dates.

The original 10 tracks are mostly in the vein of the pop laced chart toppers "One Margarita" and "Knockin' Boots."

After taking in Luke Bryan's "Born Here Live Here Die Here," the listener will never guess this full length was released during a pandemic. Maybe that's a good thing. After all, we might need a diversion from the international health crisis now and then. The release opens with "Knockin' Boots," which is how modern cowboys describe sexual intercourse. A few songs later, Bryan gives us the drinking song (and single) "One Margarita." In between, "What ...
Luke Bryan aims to please often, and that rarely goes unpunished. The Georgia native has a strong voice, some songwriting skill and even legitimate farming cred.
