Editorial Reviews
2011 album from the Country superstar. The album's lead single, 'Country Girl (Shake It For Me)', is the fastest-rising single of his career and debuted at #1 in U.S sales. If that single is any indication of what the rest of the album will hold, we are in for a successful ride! ''I feel like I continue to grow in my artistry and I hope that feeling never goes away. I think 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,' explains Luke of the process of recording Tailgates & Tanlines.

...although the album cover and album title suggest this is simply a collection of songs about partying with Mr. Country McDreamy in a v-neck t-shirt, that is just the half of it. The first half of the album is basically about having a good time or the effects of having a good time - whether it's good dancing', good lovin', good drinkin', or bad drinkin' and losin' it all. These are fairly fun and pleasant songs, but they border on being run-of-the-mill Nashville Top 40 style - let's call it cotton candy country...
The last half of the album grasps for something deeper, darker, and truer - and suddenly Luke Bryan has substance. "Harvest Time" is reminiscent of a Ryan Adams or John Mellencamp style ode to one's hometown. "Muckalee Creek Water" displays story-telling confidence worthy of Garth Brooks. "Tailgate Blues" has a familiar, folksy, hymn-like quality to it. You get the idea.
First half of album = cotton candy
Last half of album = meat and potatoes
FOR FANS OF: Any good looking Top 40 country act, Garth Brooks, Ryan Adams, John Mellencamp
TOP TRACKS: "Harvest Time," "Muckalee Creek Water," "Tailgate Blues"
FINAL GRADE = A-

"Tailgates and Tanlines" is Luke Bryan's third full length studio album and the follow up to "Doin' My Thing," his breakthrough album from 2009. This is, in my opinion, the epitome of what a country album should be: great songs, good musicianship, and great lyrics that make you want to sing and dance, have fun, or lament over a broken heart. The diversity of songs here is impressive: Everything from your typical country twang to up-tempo party songs to beautifully written music with compelling story lines. "Country Girl (Shake it for Me)" gets things started and is the perfect opener: a driving bass drum will keep your head moving, and the perfectly layered electric guitars and banjos add just the right texture to keep things interesting. "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" keeps up the pace with a catchy hook, an incredible melody enhanced by Bryan's classic southern drawl, and some great guitar work that keeps the tune moving along. "You Don't Know Jack"is a sad song about the perils of alcoholism. The lyrics are deep and meaningful and the song features a beautifully played acoustic guitar with underlying mandolins for added texture. "Tailgate Blues" has a great combination of blues-influenced-country guitars and is delivered with an amazing amount of passion. The last song, "I Knew You That Way" will leave you wanting for me. A beautifully arranged ballad with more well written lyrics is the perfect way to close out the album. If you're a fan of the country genre, or just like well written songs that will make you groove, you will love this. Highly recommended!

I've been in love with Luke Bryan's songs since I saw him in concert at tiny Benton Co. Fair! I was so excited for this cd, and a month after getting it, it's still my "go-to" cd in the car.
