Dustin Lynch, a country music artist, may not have yet discovered “the one,” but having Luke Bryan as a sidekick has been “a lot of fun.”
Lynch, 38, chatted with Fox News Digital about his next record, “Killed the Cowboy,” his romantic history, and how Bryan is a resource he can lean on.
Lynch said, “Luke Bryan is — I will say, he’s been terrific with advice on letting me know that he doesn’t miss the old Luke Bryan at all. old days before Caroline and the kids.”
Which is interesting, you know, getting to tour with him for two years in a row, he continued. Knowing that he was traveling with his children and seeing how he managed to do it.
DUSTIN LYNCH’S INTRODUCTION WAS CALLED “ABSURD” BY LUKE BRYAN AND DESCRIBED AS “COMPLETE SARCASM.”
Lynch traveled with Bryan in 2015 on his Kick Up the Dust Tour. Lynch reminisced on what it was like to have the well-known country artist as his sidekick.
Yes, he is,” Lynch responded in reference to Bryan’s friendship. “Having Luke Bryan as a close friend and touring with him… It just so happens that the female to male ratio at his concert is really darn good and leans heavily toward female, at least in [2015] and [2016].”
We had a great time traveling together, he added, “but I didn’t meet ‘the one,’ maybe she’ll come back around. Perhaps ‘the one’ is someone I already know, but we haven’t reconnected yet.
Lynch’s latest album, “Killed the Cowboy,” will be released on Friday, and he also revealed that he will embark on a tour in April of 2019.
Lynch told Fox News Digital that his new work was inspired by “paying attention to what I was thinking about on a daily basis.”
Am I where I want to be in my personal life? Whoa, what’s that? Do I need to be with someone, you know? Is it cool that I’m single, free, and adventurous? And I think, ‘Hey, this probably should be what I talk about in this next stage in music,'” he continued.
So we came up with the song ‘Killed the Cowboy,’ which is about getting burned,’ Lynch explained. The ups and downs of being a single man are discussed.
Jelly Roll, a musician whose true name is Jason Bradley DeFord, has recently entered the country music scene. He will be on Lynch’s upcoming album.
Lynch revealed the name of the duo’s new song, “Chevrolet.” ‘Okay, this was like a wonderful collab moment and I want somebody that has lived a little bit and has a little soul in their voice,’ I thought right away after receiving the song from a couple of my friends.
Jelly Roll and I actually became friends over the pandemic, and now we’re on the same team, he continued. We so entered the kitchen and prepared a special dish, of which I am really proud. For me, this feels like a career-defining moment.
Along with discussing his latest record, the country singer disclosed that he has been under peer pressure to “settle down.”
He said that he had felt some pressure from his friends, not from his family, saying things like, “Man, we, like, we want to go on these trips, but you never have a plus one.”
If I don’t have someone I know well or am with constantly, you know, it’s kind of hard to enjoy a sensuous vacation somewhere. There is therefore some pressure there, he noted.
When it comes to getting married, Lynch said “the industry” puts the biggest pressure on him.
When he attended business gatherings, he noticed that even the country fan base seemed to care about his friends’ spouses and kids just as much as they did about their music. You know, it gets a lot of attention at award presentations and throughout the year in a variety of newly published media. In that world, I believe, there is a lot more strain than in my everyday existence away from the spotlight.
Lynch explained that country music listeners “support artists that are talking about the real world that they live in, what they believe in, and the fabric that makes up the When asked why fans become “so concerned” with musicians’ “personal life,” one fan responded, “because that’s where they come from.
I believe that country music places a greater emphasis on faith and family, which explains why people are so interested in both our music and personal lives. That’s how we’ve been able to stay relevant in the genre for as long as we have, he remarked.
Lynch said that his faith has been a “driving force” in his music-making and that this is one of those reasons.
“I grew up in a family where going to church was a normal occurrence several times a week. I attended a Christian university, and that has always been a good community, center, and grounding force to be in,” he remarked. “To be really honest, there is where my passion for music originally developed. Therefore, I believe I have a lot to be grateful for as I sit in this chair right now because my parents used to let me attend church and enjoy the music.
