He’s the Grisham, or the Clancy. I would like to see him shake things up a bit for the big album #3 whenever that may be! I can’t think of very many other artists that have had this much impact on country music culture (beyond just the charts) right out of the gate. Maybe his image is more in play than you think.

Like many Khalid songs, “Up All Night” is so smooth that it might slip through your fingers. anon Combs’ songs are as boilerplate as can be. November 10, 2019 @

I think if you’re a huge rapper and you walk out on stage at a music festival as a secret act you need to be prepared for the fact that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself, Clipping – Visions Of Bodies Being Burned, Luke Combs, King Of The Country Music Average Joes, Justin Bieber applied to trademark “R&Bieber” in advance of a promised R&B album that might even be out before Christmas. There is listening to an album for the enjoyment of the music, and then there is regarding an album or artist within their importance to the health of country music at large.

10:00 pm. And that’s okay. November 10, 2019 @ Damn!

Better Together is that big ol wedding song. The lyrics to “Blue Collar Boys” seem to be assembled from SEO keywords: “And we like cold keg beer and fixin’ up trucks/ Old bird dogs and the woman we love/ Maxwell House steamin’ out of a coffee cup/ We say our prayers, send ‘em to the sky/ Bust our backs, barely getting by.” Opening track “Beer Never Broke My Heart” treads a similar path: “I’ve had a largemouth bass bust my line/ A couple beautiful girls tell me goodbye/ Trucks break down, dogs run off/ Politicians lie, been fired by the boss.” The narrator on drinking song “1, 2 Many” sounds in need of an intervention, though the night out starts to sound a lot more fun when ’90s line-dance legends Brooks & Dunn show up at the end.

Blockman One of the important things about Combs, as well as Pardi and Midland, is the shift of the Overton window on Country.

He’s been slathered with honors from institutions including the CMA, ACM, CMT, iHeartRadio, and Billboard and was up for Best New Artist at this year’s Grammys. November 11, 2019 @

GrantH .. JB-Chicago At first, though, the vigor with which he embraced down-home clichés repelled me. But I don’t think that’s what is driving his career or success.
Kevin Davis 1:45 pm. My highlights: “Refrigerator Door” & “Even Though I’m Leaving”. Awesome NC dude playing good tunes. Its the Luke Combs consistency that has been the key to his success, and it’s a successes that is now stretching into five years without missing a #1 on country radio.

11:51 am, Bruno It’s nice to hear a nice light country album you can can just drive and sing along to. No matter if he’s singing for a honky tonk or a sold out arena, or how many zeros are on the paycheck, Luke Combs is just working for the next opportunity to take a six-pack fishing. Gomez’s track falls to #5 behind its fellow former #1 hits “Señorita” and “Truth Hurts.” After “Good As Hell,” “No Guidance,” and “Panini” comes Maroon 5’s “Memories” at a new #9 peak — per Billboard, it’s their 15th top 10-hit. LUKE I think you’re great and I’m a senior citizen. Now Luke is replacing himself on his already-historic run on the country albums charts with a new record called What You See Is What You Get. 8:36 pm. Matt [, Harry Styles plays in a pile of leaves in his, Tones And I will make her US television debut on, Selena Gomez joined Julia Michaels on “Anxiety” in LA, then they got matching tattoos.

He’s also never going to offer a replacement to your favorite records if you’re an independent country/Americana fan. November 12, 2019 @ If Journey was the poster child of corporate rock, Luke Combs is the poster child of corporate country. I’m not saying that image doesn’t maybe factor into his popularity, where people can easily identify with him. Two decades after “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” Ricky Martin is out here making Spanish-language bangers with Residente and Bad Bunny.

He is undeniably skilled at crafting country songs that hit all the expected beats, imbuing them with well-observed detail and clever turns of phrase. what dawg said…..soccer mom safe ….good voice and passable songs .

Oh God no. 4:10 pm.

Luke Combs’ brand new deluxe record What You See Ain’t Always What You Get is available now, October 23rd on all streaming platforms.Take a look below as dig a … [, In other covers news, Charlie Puth did Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” for SiriusXM. November 10, 2019 @

Trigger Got bored about halfway through a first listen of this album, then read your comment. 4:02 pm, “The album’s cover art is a photo that was taken by David Bergman and then painted by Nashville-based artist Rob Hendon. Many, many people already have. November 10, 2019 @ Radio friendly for the soccer moms to listen to running errands and trips to the kids sporting events. 8:41 am. If a media outlet the size of The New York Times is going to cover country music, then they need to hire or use somebody who actually knows about country music. What a time. You probably shouldn’t spend a lot of time eating at any of those establishments, but if you‘re hungover on a Saturday afternoon and need something quick to make you feel better, and ready to face the rest of the weekend, you might as well go to the place that actually puts a little more effort into their menu. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The year Billie Eilish has had would be a headfuck for anyone. But I consider his appeal tantamount to that of Luke Combs, minus the somewhat controversial angle. Kinda funny that Apple Music has labeled it as Americana; his style is Country WESTERN as it gets. “Even Though I’m Leaving,” a story about a military man saying goodbye to his child before deployment, is admittedly hokey but might also wreck you. 12:34 pm.



10:12 am, “Why waste your ears on a format that consciously seeks lesser talent?”. LC sound is quite bro when it comes down to it; TB is unapologetically country, and he plays his own lead guitar to boot.

Combs, one of the biggest things going in country music right now, just released an album called What You See Is What You Get. 3:46 pm, Andrew I love your comment on the album cover lol, “yikes”. He’s been supporting Jon Wolfe, Aaron Watson, Randall King and Josh Ward all year. It’s music for people who aren’t really all that into music. Long time lurker first time commenter; I disagree. Streaming is the reason for 17. Great album front to back in my opinion. I think finding the sweet spot between accessibility and substance, country and contemporary is what’s driving his popularity. Hey Arnold excellent breakdown above , trigger ……on the money . It draws you in and wraps its arms around you: it’s a weapon of mass seduction. 12:59 pm. Dennis Callahan Luke Combs’ Midas touch has propelled him to the top of the charts.

Justin

Pretty good album.

I never played football in high school, gone to prom, had a brother in jail, been best man nor do I have my grannies bible so I guess I’m just not his kind of audience which is cool. Ripe for mass consumption, easy to get into, riveting in moments, it’s a much more healthier alternative to a People Magazine or some trashy romance novel for a long flight, but it’s not exactly material for the Pulitzer Prize.

80 Comments. But it’s also way more consistent than Wildcard.

About the only place on the record where the production feels bothersome is at the beginning of the song “All Over Again,” and that doesn’t come until the 15th track. So keep it coming. Why waste your ears on a format that consciously seeks lesser talent? [, Diplo dressed up as Niall Horan in a video for the singer’s “Nice To Meet Ya (Remix).” [, Speaking of Horan, he covered Post Malone’s “Circles” in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. 10:18 am, Review Ags Connolly album OR WE RIOT !!!! And regardless of what you think personally about him, that assessment bodes well for the future of country music. It wasn’t that, per the mean tweet he read on Kimmel last night, Combs “makes music for people who taste the gas before they fill up their truck.” It’s that he was leaning a little too hard into that persona, as if constructing a straw man (or, rather, a straw-chewing man) to be interviewed in a diner next time some Beltway reporter takes the pulse of white working-class voters. Is it a hologram? The artistic/talent divide between LC and TB is so undeniably wide, it’s hard to fathom. For Eilish, it inspired a dream in which she killed herself and the world was indifferent. 12:37 pm. When did Dylan Thomas get back on the scene? Harris

No media blitz. One more reason I’m tired of this releasing 5 songs of a too many (17) song album months in advance shit.

Saying they were following their gender roles.
He’s been Americana, crossover Pop country and never flinched Bro style.
