Also on Oct. 5, Luke was surprised with a plaque signifying that his current album tailgates & tanlines has been certified Gold� by the RIAA for sales of 500,000. He also received a plaque for his first Platinum� single for sales of 1 million� the album�s lead smash hit �Country Girl (Shake It For Me),� which Luke co-wrote with fellow Georgian Dallas Davidson.
The idea for the Farm Tour concerts came from Luke as a way to give back to local farming communities by celebrating and lifting up the American Farmer and offering a fun escape with the outdoor shows. DEKALB was the presenting sponsor.
