Bryan added that he hopes \"My Dirt Road Diary\" will paint a clearer picture of the good and not-so-good times he’s experienced along the way to success.

\"It’s been quite the story and quite the ride,\" Bryan told ET. \"You gotta celebrate the ups and you gotta really try to work together to get through the downsides.\"

All five episodes of \"Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary\" will stream for free on Aug. 6 on IMDb TV.
