Luke Bryan Is Fired Up to Hit the Road With Tim McGraw

Luke Bryan's year is starting off being just as booming as 2010 was for the Leesburg, Ga. native. His latest single, 'Someone Else Calling You Baby,' is currently climbing the Top 10 country singles chart, and he's joining Rascal Flatts and Chris Young on the road this weekend as part of the Nothing Like This Tour.

But Bryan won't have much downtime after the Flatts tour concludes, as he will be joining the Band Perry on Tim McGraw's Emotional Traffic Tour that kicks off on Mar. 7 in Houston, Texas.

"It is certainly my first tour with Tim," Bryan tells Taste of Country. "I’m looking forward to that. It’s certainly going to be exciting to be out there with him. Heck, I was always a big Tim McGraw fan growing up. The fact that I’ll be out there with him is pretty amazing stuff."

Bryan says he is also looking forward to possibly collaborating on some song ideas with the Warren Brothers, who tend to play in McGraw's touring band.

In the meantime, Bryan has been hard at work writing new songs and getting into the studio to begin laying the groundwork for his third album.
