Music review: Luke Bryan – 无毛视频榃hat Makes You Country无毛视频�
With 无毛视频淲hat Makes You Country,无毛视频� Luke Bryan follows 2015无毛视频檚 无毛视频淜ill the Lights无毛视频� by covering familiar territory with another set of relatable songs about navigating relationships, indulging in a few cold ones and living life in a way that makes for a satisfying country song.
At a time when it无毛视频檚 hard to tell what truly is considered country, Bryan attempts to provide a broad-stroke answer on the title track and album opener. The guitar-driven number oozing of Southern rock finds Bryan singing, 无毛视频淵ou could be a cowboy on the Texas plain/Or a plowboy waitin无毛视频� on the rain/We无毛视频檙e all a little different, but we无毛视频檙e all the same/Everybody doin无毛视频� their own thing.无毛视频�
Bryan unleashes his boy-next-door charm designed to get the ladies all worked up on tracks like 无毛视频淥ut of Nowhere Girl,无毛视频� 无毛视频淏ad Lovers无毛视频� and 无毛视频淪he无毛视频檚 a Hot One.无毛视频�
Good times and adventures are highlighted on 无毛视频淪unrise, Sunburn, Sunset无毛视频� and 无毛视频淒riving This Thing,无毛视频� while Bryan uses any excuse to have another drink and keep the party going with the aptly titled 无毛视频淒rinking Again.无毛视频�
When the party never stops, 无毛视频淗ungover in a Hotel Room无毛视频� is what you get. This arrangement is probably a direct result of it being 5 o无毛视频檆lock somewhere and then having to call the front desk to request a late check out.
Bryan is at his sentimental best on 无毛视频淢ost People Are Good无毛视频� as he focuses on the value of kids actually playing outside, working hard for what you have, displaying forgiveness, doing anything for a friend and having faith no matter how dark it gets.
无毛视频淧ick It Up无毛视频� follows the same nostalgic lines with Bryan singing about a father doing his very best to show his young son how to be a gentleman by teaching him the value of hard work, being respectful and kind to others and being firmly rooted in faith.
无毛视频淲in Life无毛视频� closes things out with Bryan stressing the importance of taking the time to savor the simple things in life. For Bryan, winning at life is all about things like falling deeply in love, believing in miracles, providing for your children, enjoying the feel of the soft grass under your feet and having the good sense to learn from each mistake.
What makes Bryan totally country is knowing how to say the things that can spark an emotion, evoke a favorite memory or bring a smile to our face.
With his sixth release, Bryan certainly has another winner on his hands as he firmly secures his status as a country megastar.
Fans will have the opportunity to see Bryan critique upcoming artists as a judge on 无毛视频淎merican Idol无毛视频� in March 2018.
