Luke Tyler Shelton reflects on life on the road with latest single ‘A Bus Ain’t A Home’
Today, singer-songwriter Luke Tyler Shelton releases his nostalgic new single, ‘A Bus Ain’t A Home,’ via Concord Records. The heartfelt track arrives alongside the announcement of his debut EP Blue Sky, due out July 18.
Produced by Shooter Jennings and Jonathan Wilson, ‘A Bus Ain’t A Home’ showcases Shelton’s blend of country rock, folk-pop, and Southern soul. Guided by warm piano, pedal steel, and Shelton’s weathered vocals, the song captures the quiet ache of touring life and the longing it brings. The track builds like a slow cruise through a wide-open landscape, carrying the listener through Shelton’s reflections on absence and emotional distance.
Shelton shared:
“‘A Bus Ain’t A Home’ is the second release from my recent sessions at Sunset Sound. It’s the first song I’ve written about being on the road and the experience of having to leave a loved one for extended periods of time.”
Shelton recorded the track live with a full band at Hollywood’s Sunset Sound, aiming for a raw, unpolished sound that highlights the authenticity of his songwriting. It’s the latest preview from Blue Sky, which promises more of the same soul-soothing, retro-leaning rock that has drawn comparisons to early-’70s Laurel Canyon artists.
‘A Bus Ain’t A Home’ is out now.
