Mind of a Country Boy is the eighth studio album by American country music artist Luke Bryan.

Content

Bryan co-wrote two of the album's 14 tracks, including its title track, and the team of Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens handled the album's production.[2] The album's release was preceded by the release of three radio singles, as well as an EP, also titled Mind of a Country Boy, on June 14, 2024.[3] "Closing Time in California" was issued as a promotional single in conjunction with the album announcement on August 8, 2024.[2] It marks Bryan's first new album in four years, with the singer remarking: "I've been able to take my time and really compile songs for this album. If it's a song that I cut two or three years ago, and I still love it, and it still sounds fresh, then I feel like it'll stand the test of time".[2]
