Luke Bryan -Tailgates and Tan lines

The album "Tailgates and Tan Line" by Luke Bryan was a monumental fusion of classic country to the new pop sound the market demands. In the singers third album, he found an ideal balance between a new age high energy sound and the sing songy and romantic qualities of country music. The album's opener "Country Girl," sets the tone for the album with an infectious dance beat while still keeping poetic lyrics. Lyrics such as "Spin me around this big ole barn, tangle me up like grandma's yarn" are matched with an up tempo beat for a match made in heaven. The fifth track on the album "I Don't Want  This Night to End" keeps a classic country theme of pursuing a girl while also getting stuck in the heads of pop music fans. The album makes Luke Bryan a pioneer in country music as he takes the leap into pop music and leaves in peers in the dust.
