A fifth-generation descendant of Wyoming homesteaders, the ranch hand turned troubadour has seen a lot of life in his 26 years on this mortal coil, and his self titled album serves as a rollicking document of his experiences. The record is teeming with colorful characters, captured in hardscrabble yarns of living hard and drinking harder, making bad choices and laughing them off. There's a little bit of their author in each of these flawed but redeemable characters-and at a time when authenticity is in short supply, Luke Bell has come along to remind us what it feels like to be truly alive and open to the possibilities of existence in a captivating song cycle that puts the cowboy back into country \u0026amp; western.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Sometimes \u003cbr\u003e1.2 All Blue \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Where Ya Been \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Hold Me \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Loretta \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Workin' Man's Dream \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Glory and the Grace \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Bullfighter \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Ragtime Troubles \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Great Pretender\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luke Bell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39811904471111,"sku":"31044530","price":12.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3050712-3162200.jpg?v=1713697292"},{"product_id":"bell-luke-the-king-is-back-vinyl-lp","title":"Luke Bell: The King Is Back - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eThe King Is Back\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eLuke Bell\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eBill Hill Records\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e732388010684\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eCountry\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2025-11-07\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e2\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eCOLORED VINYL\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         Double colored vinyl LP pressing.

Far from a retrospective, The King is Back is a full-bodied testament to Bell's enduring voice and vision - a reminder that his story didn't end with his passing. Net proceeds from the album will benefit the Luke Bell Memorial Affordable Counseling Program, honoring his life by supporting mental health access for those in need. Through this release, Bell's music continues to shine - bringing comfort, awareness, and firmly cementing Luke Bell as a legend in country music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Rattlesnake Man \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Don't Mind If I Do \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Long Gone Love \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Cold Stew \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Daydream Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.6 I'm Not \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Black Crows \u003cbr\u003e1.8 On Our Own \u003cbr\u003e1.9 All I've Got \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Dark House of Fools \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Ready for Love \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Horse Flies \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Guitar Man \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Hand to Hold \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Blue Freightliner \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Hard Time \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Rounder \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Stag \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Roofer's Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.20 River \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Bottom of the Sea \u003cbr\u003e1.22 The King Is Back \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Irrigator's Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Orangutang \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Waste of Time \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Seven and Steady \u003cbr\u003e1.27 The Party Song \u003cbr\u003e1.28 Tiger's Mouth\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luke Bell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42031811362887,"sku":"45558252","price":36.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4460651-3454848.jpg?v=1758451229"},{"product_id":"luke-bell-the-king-is-back-compact-discs","title":"Luke Bell: The King Is Back - COMPACT DISCS","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eThe King Is Back\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eLuke Bell\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eBill Hill Records\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eCOMPACT DISCS\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e732388010783\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eCountry\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2025-11-07\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e2\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         Two CDs. 2025 release. As a leader of country-western music, Luke Bell's time on the throne was short. He released one official album during his lifetime, delivering a mix of honky-tonk shuffles and Bakersfield barnburners in a voice as magnetic as his own personality. He toured briefly, graduating from career-launching gigs in the dive bars of Austin and Nashville to bucket-list shows opening for Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam. And then, tragically, he disappeared from the public eye to privately wage a war with the mental illness that eventually claimed his life. He was just 32 years old. Three years after his passing, Luke's music endures. Nowhere is that more apparent than The King Is Back, a posthumous collection of studio recordings - most of them previously unreleased - that showcase his full range as a storyteller and songwriter. Tracked between November 2013 and August 2016, these 28 songs capture Luke in his artistic prime, spinning stories about blue-collar workers, heartbroken ramblers, and the personal struggles that bind us together. He'd been raised by a family of writers, and he did his part to uphold the Bell tradition, stocking his songs with characters whose bulletproof exteriors fail to hide the hurt that lurks within. Laced with pedal steel guitar, saloon-style piano, heartland hooks, and plenty of two-stepping' groove, The King Is Back isn't just a career retrospective; it's also a reminder of the timeless catalog that Bell built in three short years, pairing the vintage vibes of golden-era country music with lyrics that tackled the human condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Rattlesnake Man \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Don't Mind If I Do \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Long Gone Love \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Cold Stew \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Daydream Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.6 I'm Not \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Black Crows \u003cbr\u003e1.8 On Our Own \u003cbr\u003e1.9 All I've Got \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Dark House of Fools \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Ready for Love \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Horse Flies \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Guitar Man \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Hand to Hold \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Blue Freightliner \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Hard Time \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Rounder \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Stag \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Roofer's Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.20 River \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Bottom of the Sea \u003cbr\u003e1.22 The King Is Back \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Irrigator's Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Orangutang \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Waste of Time \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Seven and Steady \u003cbr\u003e1.27 The Party Song \u003cbr\u003e1.28 Tiger's Mouth\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luke Bell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42131824214087,"sku":"45558269","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4460652-3454849.jpg?v=1761648043"}],"url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/collections\/luke-bell.oembed","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
