Credit Goes to Caroline
![<span style="font-size: small;">They do say that behind every great man is a great woman, and the case is no different for Luke Bryan. The Georgia native says that is wife, Caroline, helped pick two of his <em>Tailgates & Tanlines</em> album’s stand-out tracks: “Too Damn Young” and “You Don’t Know Jack.” <em>“The first time I heard them, Caroline was sitting right there and she was like, ‘Oh, wow.’ I mean, we both fell in love with them, and then, I actually recorded a song that I wrote, that she just did not like…ya know, lyrically, what it was saying. And then it didn’t make the album, just because she was right on the money. So, any time you got people that know you helping you through the process it helps the album become better.” </em>And a good thing he listened, Luke is currently enjoying the album’s second week atop of the <em>Billboard Country Albums</em> chart. He will also headline <em>CMT On Tour: Luke Bryan Tailgates and Tanlines,</em> which kicks off September 15<sup>th</sup> in Huntington, West Virginia. </span>](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-08/64228372-25043441.jpg "<span style="font-size: small;\">They do say that behind every great man is a great woman, and the case is no different for Luke Bryan.
