Luke Bryan Sticks With The People He ‘Trusts’
Luke Bryan has had a long career in country music, and he continues his amazing success not only on the radio charts but also every weekend while he tours the country, playing his more than 30 number-one songs for fans each night.
When we chatted with Luke recently, he told us about the core people that have been with him from the beginning of his amazing career, which has included winning the Entertainer of the Year multiple times.
Bryan told us, “I have never done an all-out housing cleaning and like a purge. I’ve kept a core group of people that I really trust.”
Luke has done the same thing when it comes to songwriters. He said, “The biggest thing is sticking with some core songwriters that get you and it’s not work.” He looks to new songwriters as well, “But also the fact that I don’t write six songs a week, and I’m sitting around waiting for songs to land in my inbox because I love the fact that there is new, young, fresh talent out there beating the streets and working hard every day.”

Bryan has been in and out of the Nashville recording studio lately, in between tour dates and trips to Hollywood to work on American Idol. He’s released a couple of new songs already from his forthcoming album project, but he has yet to give details on what the album will be.
One of those new songs is “Love You, Miss You, Mean It,” which he told us he was inspired by what he and his wife, Caroline, and many more young couples have gone through.
Luke offered, “‘Love You, Miss You, Mean It’ is obviously about kids falling in love and that was their saying to let each other know that they loved one another. It’s about young love. It’s about going off to college and trying to make that work, and it is not working, so it’s going full circle.”
He added, “I’ve kind of lived that world with my relationship with my wife and I, and I know a lot of other people out there have too.”
Bryan knew he had a gem on his hands the first time he heard it. “This song was special from the first time I heard it. I knew it would resonate. It’s about young love and that whole process of trying to make relationships work through the on-again and off-again cycles.”
