Three time, back to back to back American Music Award winner for Favorite Country Male Artist Luke Bryan’s new album, “Spring Break…Checkin’ Out” is one of Bryan’s best.

Bryan is a well renowned country artist who has won 11 awards in the last 5 years for his songs and albums. “Spring Break…Checkin’ Out” will without a doubt find its way back to one of those award shows.
In a couple of his slower songs, “Night One” and “You and the Beach”, Bryan sings about a girl he met and the slower tempo has a sad connotation bringing a different emotion to the album. The sad slow songs do not however outweigh the balance with other upbeat and more exciting songs.
“Games”, “My Ol’ Bronco”, and “Spring Breakdown” are Bryan’s best songs on the new album. The songs have a feeling of nostalgia for an incredible experience he had and the lyrics are full of emotion.
