I was coming up on the elevator very early this morning and the guy I shared the elevator with noticed what I was wearing.  He said, "you aren't kidding, you really are country aren't you".   I take that as the highest compliment.  Some people who stake their name on being "country" sometimes aren't,

Luke Bryan says some people are saying he has gone too Hollywood but he is here to assure us he is still pretty doggone  country.  He says even tho he is sometimes busy in Hollywood on American Idol, his heart and his loves stay on the farm.  "There is nothing I would rather be doing than driving around on my farm and doing some fishing on our pond".  Before I lived on a farm and actually starting living the lifestyle, I might have rolled my eyes at that.  But I can relate.  As soon as the tires on my car hit that gravel driveway to my little farm, my blood pressure drops and my spirit soars.  Living country is real.

Luke promises his new album will be pure country.  It is called "Born here,Live Here, Die Here" and it comes out April 9.  For more information on Luke's new album just go right here
