Luke Bryan is gearing up for the Aug. 9 street date of his third studio set with this week’s release of the video for lead single “Country Girl (Shake It For Me).” Directed by award-winner Shaun Silva, the video was filmed last month in Los Angeles at Siren Studios.

Single stats are boding well for the success of Tailgates and Tanlines, coming via Capitol Records Nashville. The song debuted at No. 1 in U.S. digital singles sales with 105,498 downloads and is the fastest moving single of his career.

It’s the follow-up to Bryan’s three consecutive No. 1 hits “Do I,” “Rain Is A Good Thing” and “Someone Else Calling You Baby.”

Bryan is teaming with The Doobie Brothers for the next installment of CMT Crossroads, premiering Friday, June 24. He is also nominated for two 2011 CMT Music Awards: Best Web Video of the Year for “It’s A Shore Thing,” and Best New Live Act—the Nationwide Insurance Award.

Fans can catch him this summer on Tim McGraw’s Emotional Traffic tour.
