BREAKING Luke Bryan Names His Ultimate Country Supergroup Did He Just Snub a Legend
Country music has a lengthy list of supergroup — artists who combine their talents for a song or album. The Highwaymen formed in 1985, featuring Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. Decades later, in 2019, The Highwomen was formed, with Maren Morris, Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby and Amanda Shires.
Luke Bryan has never been part of a supergroup before. But if the opportunity presented itself, he knows which two artists he would pick.
“Trio — me, and certainly Jason Aldean,” Bryan tells Taste of Country. “And probably Dierks [Bentley], I like that.”
Bryan might not have been part of an official group before, but he has recorded music with some of his friends. In 2012, he joined Aldean and Eric Church on “The Only Way I Know,” from Aldean’s Night Train record. And in 2018, Bryan joined Aldean again, along with Charles Kelley and Darius Rucker, for Rucker’s When Was The Last Time project.
Luke Bryan’s Favorite Singer
Interestingly, the two artists who Bryan picked to join his imaginary group are not his favorite singers. That distinction goes to Rascal Flatts’ lead singer, Gary LeVox.
“Gary LeVox, in my opinion, is one of the best singers of all time,” Bryan reveals on iHeartRadio‘s Bobby Bones Show
Bryan might be just a tad bit jealous of LeVox, who is known to sing really, really high notes. It’s something Bryan admits he struggles with, and is why he sometimes eliminates a fan-favorite song from his setlist: “Roller Coaster.”
“When you start the chorus … but when everything’s clicking, it’s easy,” Bryan says, adding that the chorus is where it gets challenging. “But when it is not …if it isn’t clicking, we’ve had to skip ‘Roller Coaster’ a couple of times.”
Fortunately, over the years Bryan has learned how to compensate when he is having vocal trouble, especially due to allergies.
“We’ve gotten to where we can move some stuff around,” Bryan says. “One thing is, when I’m having vocal trouble, the reason why I’m having it is I’m pushing above the band. So we’ve learned if I just get up there with my guitar or the piano, and really settle down and sing a little softer, that helps.”
