This past Friday, Luke released an album full of “Dad Songs” called “Fathers and Sons”, and, like everything else Luke Combs outs out, it’s absolutely spot on.
Great writing, great vocals, and all the fatherly emotions.
One of my favorites is “Huntin’ By Yourself” whoch makes me think of my husband, who is an avid hunter, as was his father:
Aaaahhhh… all the Dad feels right there.
Here’s another good one from the album. Well, they’re ALL good, but this is another standout for me- it’s called “Plant a Seed”:
Luke Combs never misses.
His new album inspired by fatherhood, “Fathers and Sons” is out now, and you can get more info, tour dates, and more at http://Lukecombs.com
If you’ve never been, it’s an insane four days in downtown where all of Country’s biggest acts, as well as upcoming acts perform. And Nashville is already packed enough, so add thousands of Country music fans, and the place goes banannas.
Some cool surprises came out of this weekend, including Post Malone and Blake Shelton performing their new collab for the first time called “Somebody Pour Me a Drink”:
His song with Morgan Wallen “I Had Some Help” is spending it’s 3rd week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is quickly shaping up to be the song of the Summer.
So, how about a stripped down acoustic version of the song?
Seriously, is there a better combo than Lainey and Miranda?
I’ll wait.
Both artists have new music coming out- Miranda is currently working on her new project with her new label Republic Records, and Lainey’s next album “Whirlwind” comes out August 23rd.
“Rolling Stone” Magazine just released their list of the “Best Country Songs of All Time”.
This is JUST according to “Rolling Stone”, and to be honest, I don’t always agree with their opinions on music, but this list isn’t as terrible as some of their past lists (and that’s just MY opinion).
Here is their Top 10:
1. “Jolene” by Dolly Parton:
Personally, this isn’t my favorite Country song- as really, Dolly should be more mad at her man and NOT Jolene, but it’s undeniably a classic, and is deserving of the top spt.
Also, it’s Dolly.
She pretty much wins life.
2. “I Walk the Line” by Johnny Cash:
No arguments here.
3. “Crazy” by Patsy Cline:
Patsy was just incredible. To me, she is one of the all time greats. The emotion she puts into her voice, and her entire catalogue is perfection.
4. “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” by Hank Williams:
You really can’t have a list of Country All-Time greats without Hank, am I right?
5. “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones:
One of the saddest songs of all time… which is perfect to round ou the Top 5.
Also, people complain about Morgan Wallen’s antics, but he has nothing on George, Hank, Johnny, Willie, Waylon, and a majority of the Country greats. Those guys were hot messes. Legends, but also hot messes.
You can’t argue me on this one.
6. “You Don’t Know Me” by Ray Charles:
Well, that’s random…
Why not “Georgia on My Mind”?
7. “Standing on the Corner: Blue Yodel No. 9” by Jimmie Rogers:
Well, that’s a throwback for sure!
8. “Stand by Your Man” by Tammy Wynette:
Funnily enough, Tammy was married 5 times…
Also, this song is bad advice considering that some men don’t need stood by.
9. “Mama Tried” by Merle Haggard:
This one will always rank as one of my favorites!
10. “Amarillo by Morning” by George Strait:
Oooooohhh… George Strait is always a winner.
Although, I’d switch this out with “This is Where the Cowboy Rides Away”.
Actually, if the entire Top 10 was George Strait songs, I’d be fine with it.
