Luke Bryan used the power of social media to announce his new album Tailgates & Tanlines, which is due out August 9. During a live stream on his Facebook page, Bryan revealed the album’s title and played two songs live including “Drunk On You” and “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye.”
Produced by Jeff Stevens, Tailgates & Tanlines is Bryan’s third studio album for Capitol Nashville and features his current single “Country Girl (Shake It For Me).” The song had a digital sales debut of 105k during its release week, a career high for Bryan.
“I’m so excited to be giving my fans new music!” says Bryan. “Writing and recording this project has been a blast. I feel like I continue to grow in my artistry and I hope that feeling never goes away. Being out there on the road so much and seeing what the fans want make it much clearer for me to know what to give them. I hope they are as excited to hear it as I am to know what they think!”
Bryan is currently nominated for two 2011 CMT Music Awards, and he’ll be on the road with Tim McGraw’s Emotional Traffic tour this summer.
