Review
Luke Bryan's seventh studio album, "Born Here Live Here Die Here," released on August 7, 2020, is a true display of his country music chops. Mixing up sprightly tunes with some heartfelt ballads, this record shows off Bryan's knack for cranking out tunes that stick with you like a favorite old hat.
Starting off with the toe-tappin' "Knockin' Boots," the album sets a lively pace perfect for summer nights and back porch hangouts. Singles like "What She Wants Tonight," "One Margarita," and "Down to One" shine bright, each showcasing Bryan's talent for creating those feel-good, radio-ready hits that'll stay on your mind all day.
But it's not all about upbeat anthems. Bryan brings in some depth with songs like "Build Me a Daddy" and "Little Less Broken," really digging into storytelling and showing his softer side. The title track, "Born Here Live Here Die Here," serves up a poignant reminder of the ties that bind us to our hometowns and the lasting connections we cherish.
With top-notch production and Bryan's smooth vocals leading the way, the album's 33 minutes zoom by like a truck on an open highway. "Born Here Live Here Die Here" stands tall in Luke Bryan’s catalog, blending fun tunes with reflective moments that underline his evolution as an artist. - Rex
