I&#8217;m not gonna say father . . . that seems weird. We did two years of touring together which is awesome. I learned so much from him and feel like I&#8217;m the entertainer I am today because of Luke and I owe a lot to Luke, you know, for just being a friend and somebody I call up and he answers the phone every time and answers my questions and so I hope we both get to make music together for a long, long time.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B73sxn5l_yT\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Normally at this time of year, Dustin Lynch would be getting ready to head down to Mexico for Luke Bryan&#8217;s annual Crash My Playa event, which isn&#8217;t happening this year due to the pandemic.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":12276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[739,232,34,156],"class_list":["post-12274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-crash-my-playa","tag-dustin-lynch","tag-luke-bryan","tag-mexico"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 01:20:13","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2021\/01\/dustin-lynch-calls-luke-bryan-a-mentor-and-friend\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
