In It’s All Country, Luke Bryan not only explores the roots of some of country music’s biggest classics but also performs them — and PEOPLE has an exclusive first look!
This highly anticipated Hulu docuseries, premiering on November 15, follows the 48-year-old artist in Nashville as he engages in heartfelt conversations with fellow country legends about their music, uncovering new stories behind some of the genre’s most iconic and beloved tracks.
“Behind every country song is an untold story. Country music legend Luke Bryan is exploring the hidden depths of Nashville in search of those stories,” an official synopsis reads.
“The series features never-before-seen performances by some of the biggest stars of country music as Luke uncovers the secrets, the hidden inspirations and the personal moments that shaped the music you love,” per the synopsis.
The star-studded season 1 lineup includes Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Lady A, Mickey Guyton, Kane Brown, Wynonna Judd and Shaboozey, and PEOPLE-exclusive stills tease what viewers can expect from each of their It’s All Country appearances.
The season kicks off with a chat between two of country’s biggest Lukes, with Bryan and Combs, 34, sitting down to talk about the “Beautiful Crazy” singer’s motivation for creating music.
With Lady A, the host dives into his own song “Do I,” which he co-wrote with the group’s Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley, and writes another track — which they sing together in a stripped-down performance.
Bryan also performs with Judd, and with genre newcomer Brown, he shoots hoops while discussing the star’s rise to fame. With Guyton, meanwhile, he dives headfirst into the art of making country music.
To wrap the six-episode docuseries’ packed first season, the “Country Girl” singer takes the stage, performing in Nashville with none other than Crow — and gets into the nitty-gritty of country’s new generation with the “All I Wanna Do” artist, plus rising star Shaboozey.
Bryan doubles as both host and executive producer on It’s All Country, which is also executive produced by Peyton Manning.
A veteran of the music industry, Bryan previously opened up to PEOPLE about his own long climb to fame in country — and how he established his identity as a singer-songwriter — last year.
“When I was younger, I wouldn’t have really known who I was as an artist. Back then I was just singing other people’s songs and trying to figure out what I want to be,” the musician told PEOPLE. “Now I know the main thing is to do your best to tell your story in the most authentic and relatable way.”
“I can’t go back and question any of the stars or fate at how it all shaped out,” he added. “I look back, and I’m proud of my climb to get here.”
