TYLER BOOTH SHINES A LIGHT ON THE SACRIFICES OF CHASING DREAMS IN NEW SONG, “BRING ON THE NEON”

entucky-born songsmith Tyler Booth shared a new track today, “Bring On The Neon.” Listen here.

“Bring On The Neon” was penned by Booth along with Jamey Johnson and Jeremy Popoff, known from the band Lit (“My Own Worst Enemy”). Booth met Popoff after he was sitting in the audience one day while Booth was performing at Fox & Locke in Leiper’s Fork, TN. Popoff decided to introduce Booth to his good friend, Jamey Johnson, who also happens to be one of Booth’s biggest inspirations. Shortly after, the three came together and wrote “Bring On The Neon.”

Booth shared, “It’s sort of a full circle song for me because it’s about chasing your dreams. Growing up, Jamey probably influenced me more than anyone. Listening to his music took me down the path of Waylon, Willie, Cash, Hank, etc., so writing with Jamey and getting to know him and Popoff really is a dream come true.”

“‘Bring On The Neon’ is a story about how hard the road is out here and it sure takes its toll on ya, especially your personal relationships. It’s about when one chapter ends, a new one begins, and the sacrifices we make chasing our dreams. Personally, this thing sure hasn’t been overnight for me. I’ve been busting my tail out here. Writing this one with Jamey and Popoff and getting to put it out is a reminder that hard work pays off. I look forward to hearing what people think about the song and what it means to them,” Booth continued.

Additionally, Jamey Johnson shared, “Tyler Booth has the kind of voice that resonates country music and feeds the soul. He is an instrument custom crafted for that purpose. As a songwriter he is as astute and percipient as he is humble; a real working man’s torch bearer.”

Popoff added, “Tyler is the real deal. It’s been awesome getting to make music together and becoming good friends. ‘Bring On The Neon’ is a special song and I think it really shows Tyler’s depth and old soul vibe.” 

“Bring On The Neon” follows Booth’s latest track, “Real Real Country,” which he debuted earlier this year. Country Now shared that the singer is “taking his wicked twang and hard-hitting instrumentals to the next level,” and that the song “puts forth a stylish lick on his sundry capabilities,” while MusicRow deemed it “redneck rock, especially if you crank it up.”

Recently, Booth shared stages with acts such as Darius Rucker, Jon Pardi, and Brooks & Dunn, and he is currently out on his headlining “Real Real Country Tour” as well as select dates with Cody Johnson. The road warrior has gained a loyal fanbase through his extensive touring and is also backed by his over a million followers on social media. CMT described Booth as, “a country traditionalist with an impressive knack for storytelling” while American Songwriter called him, “an outlaw with the baritone voice, an endearing smile and a flowing mullet,” who “just might prove to be a breath of fresh country air in a world of far too perfectly coifed and filtered country superstars.”

LUKE COMBS’ NEW ALBUM GETTIN’ OLD OUT TODAY

“GOING, GOING, GONE” SPENDS SECOND CONSECUTIVE 
WEEK AT #1

RECORD-BREAKING WORLD TOUR KICKS OFF TOMORROW

“one of music’s mightiest voices and a hitmaking force arguably unlike any seen out of Nashville this century”—USA Today 

“a superstar who is shaping the future of the genre while also serving as one of its fiercest defenders”
The Washington Post

March 24, 2023—Country superstar and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs’ new album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record,Growin’ Up—is out today via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville. Stream/purchase HERE

Already receiving critical attention, Combs recently spoke with Esquire, who calls Combs, “the best country singer of his generation.” Additionally, The New York Times proclaims, “…grounded in country, complete with fiddle fills, but it’s also pointed toward a wide pop audience,” while Billboard declares, “his electrifying-yet-earthy voice soundtracking this time in his life as a husband, father and entertainer at the top of his game” and Music Row praises, “one of the most gripping vocalists in our genre. The themes of maturity and thoughtfulness are embedded in this beautifully crafted lyric.”

Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan SingletonGettin’ Old is Combs’ fourth full-length album following Growin’ Up, 2019’s 3x Platinum What You See is What You Get and his 4x Platinum debut, This One’s For You. Across these eighteen tracks, including a rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” Combs continues to establish himself as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices, as he explores themes of family, legacy, love and personal growth. 

The release adds to yet another historic year for Combs, who extended his record-breaking run at country radio with his single, “Going, Going, Gone,” which is once again #1 at country radio this week. This is Combs’ 15th consecutive #1 single—the longest consecutive streak for an artist since their debut—and makes Combs one of the fastest to accumulate 15 #1s, joining the ranks of Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Alabama. Additionally, Combs recently earned 26 new Platinum and Gold RIAA certifications.

Furthermore, Combs will kick off his massive World Tour tomorrow night at Arlington, TX’s AT&T Stadium, followed by 15 more US stadium shows this spring, all of which sold out immediately. With 39 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the record-breaking run is the largest tour ever for a country artist. The upcoming trek includes stops at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium and Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, as well as shows in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Belgium. See below for complete tour itinerary.

Reflecting on the record, Combs shares, “This album is about the stage of life I’m in right now. One that I’m sure a lot of us are in, have been through, or will go through. It’s about coming of age, loving where life is now but at the same time missing how it used to be, continuing to fall for the one you love and loving them no matter what, living in the moment but still wondering how much time you have left, family, friends, being thankful, and leaving a legacy. Me and so many others have poured their hearts and souls into this record, and I hope you love it as much as we do.”            

A member of the Grand Ole Opry and an 8x CMA, 3x ACM, 3x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs is in the midst of a historic series of years. Most recently, he was named CMA Entertainer of the Year for the second-consecutive year this past November and recently earned his record-setting, fourteenth-consecutive #1 single with “The Kind of Love We Make.” Continuing his monumental run at country radio, Combs’ current single, “Going, Going, Gone,” is currently top 3 and rising. Additionally, with his 2019 release, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, Combs reached #1 on Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Albums chart, Top 100 Songs chart and Artists 500 chart—the first country artist ever to lead all three charts in the same week and first to top the Artists 500.

ESQUIRE CLAIMS LUKE COMBS IS THE BEST COUNTRY SINGER OF HIS GENERATION!

Luke Combs Isn’t Like the Rest

The best country singer of his generation, the 33-year-old has broken out—big—with a surprising tactic: leaning into old-school, traditional country sounds.

In a nice touch at last month’s Grammy Awards, several of the night’s performers were introduced by friends and family. Brandi Carlile was brought to the stage by her wife and daughters, Lizzo by one of the contestants on her show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls. The introduction for country singer Luke Combs, a powerhouse both vocally and commercially who has exploded in popularity in recent years, came from Justin Davis, the owner of Town Tavern Blowing Rock in Boone, North Carolina, where Combs once worked as a bouncer. But with his round physique and ginger beard, Combs exudes nice-guy energy, so just how good was he at guarding the door?

“Luckily, there was two of us,” he said on a recent Zoom call from his manager’s office in Nashville. “I didn’t particularly love that job—I was more of a people pleaser than the ‘you’re not allowed in’ guy. I got it done, but I’m definitely not gonna be in the Bouncer Hall of Fame.”

As for the Country Music Hall of Fame? Well, it’s a little early, but Combs—whose fourth album, Gettin’ Old, is out today—has been on a sustained, record-breaking tear; other than Morgan Wallen, who operates in an entirely different stratosphere from the rest of the genre at this point, 33-year-old Combs is Music City’s biggest star to emerge in the last decade. He is also, out of his set of peers, the best pure singer.

This sounds impossible, but since the 2016 release of “Hurricane” from his debut album This One’s For You, each of his fifteen singles have hit Number One on the country charts—the longest consecutive streak for an artist straight out of the gate. (“Hurricane,” by the way, was certified eight-times-platinum, as was “When It Rains It Pours,” while 2018’s “Beautiful Crazy” reached the nine-times-platinum mark).

All of which led to a skyrocketing touring base for the dressed-down, big-voiced Combs, earning him the coveted CMA Entertainer of the Year award the past two years. It’s especially impressive since Combs occupies a traditional spot in country music—singing solidly constructed, old-school songs about love and booze with hints of Southern Rock and soul, and not a trace of the pop or hip-hop influence that defines most of the genre’s young artists working today.

“A guy like Luke comes along every now and then and becomes a phenom,” says Kix Brooks of Country Music Hall of Fame duo Brooks & Dunn, who have recorded with Combs several times. “He’s selling honesty, ground up integrity, and he sings hard, like he’s gonna hurt you with his passion. He freaking means it! You’ve got to be really good, and he is, but you’ve got to mean it every time, and it sure sounds like he does.”

So who gets the credit for this unprecedented sprint to the top of the charts? Well, that takes us back to Justin Davis and his bar, because Combs may have been a lousy bouncer, but taking that job led to other opportunities. “I played a million shows in his bars,” he says. “I lived upstairs and worked downstairs and played downstairs and ate and drank downstairs. You don’t even realize how important it is until later—with the rise of the Internet, if you have a song or a video that does well, all of a sudden, you can be playing shows for thousands of people, and sometimes those people struggle when they get out on stage. People go see them and they’re like, ‘This isn’t what I paid to come see.’

“Playing all those shows was a huge benefit,” he continues, “because you figure out what works, what doesn’t work—I mean, how do you even know if the crowd likes your song or not? I would encourage anybody to just play and play, in places where nobody’s coming to buy a ticket to see you. It may not be as fast as a [social media] video, but once you get to the point you want to be at, you’ll be glad that you did it.”

Gettin’ Old comes out just nine months after Combs’ last album, which turns out to be part of a master plan. That last record was called Growin’ Up, and he actually wrote and recorded most of the two albums simultaneously (the opening track on the new one, which he describes as “the overarching theme of the album,” is titled “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old,” connecting the dots for any of us who aren’t paying attention).

“It became apparent that there were two markedly different groups of songs that were showing up,” he says. “Growin’ Up leaned more towards my first two albums and Gettin’ Old is a shift towards a more mature sound, with being married and having a kid and things that were happening at the time I was writing the songs. It felt like there was this big juxtaposition in my life—you’re out on the road playing shows and drinking with your buddies, and then you’re home and your wife’s pregnant, and then you got a kid, and then you’re back on the road, playing shows and riding on the bus. There’s things I really love about both of those, so that juxtaposition is kind of where the songs came from.”

Most of the album is meat-and-two-sides, plant-your-feet-and-sing country, exploring themes familiar from the format’s tradition—family, first loves and lasting loves, the power of song—but there are a few selections that take unexpected turns. There’s a cover of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 hit “Fast Car” (one of the first songs Combs remembers hearing, on cassette in his dad’s “1980-something, brown F-150 with a camper top”). “Joe” is the story of a sobriety journey, which is a bit of a surprise coming from the guy with alcohol-fueled hits like “Beer Never Broke My Heart” and “1, 2 Many” (“There’s no stopping me once I get goin’/Put a can in my hand, man, I’m wide-ass open”).

“I had some people in my family struggle with that, and some friends that live that lifestyle,” Combs explains. “And I think about how much we talk about getting drunk and stuff—and hey, I love it as much as the next guy, but I wonder, what are those people thinking? Especially if it was my friend or my dad, I want them to at least have a moment in the show that spoke to them a little bit, too.”

Luke Combs was written about frequently as an overnight sensation, but ask the singer how he feels about that classification. “I put in my 10,000 hours,” he tells Esquire.

His expression of empathy for listeners beyond the stereotype sounds like a lot of the conversation in Nashville these days, which is taking a hard look at country music’s diversity and who does and doesn’t feel welcome as part of the audience. Combs says he’s supportive of and enthusiastic about efforts to include more and different voices.

“I think it’s great—any opportunity that our genre has to broaden its listenership or its base is so cool,” he says. “Bringing in people who have different outlooks and different perspectives on life is what keeps music interesting. I don’t want to hear the same version of the same song from the same person every day. I think having those different viewpoints, whether it’s from a Black artist or a woman or a guy like myself or whoever, everybody has different views and different takes, and that’s what makes music awesome.

Luke Combs started singing early. “As soon as I could talk, I was singing,” he says. He didn’t even know if he was any good at it—as an only child, he had no siblings to offer opinions, and his parents loved it but, as he says, “everybody’s parents love when they do anything.”

He started chorus class in sixth grade, then started singing in the church choir, and performed in all the school musicals. “Singing was second nature to me,” he says. “I put a lot of hard work into it, but I always just enjoyed the heck out of it.” The choir even sang at Carnegie Hall, and Combs was chosen for a solo. “It was fun, a confidence builder for sure,” he says, adding of the fabled Manhattan venue, “but I haven’t played there since.”

Still, he had no thoughts of making music a career. He went to Appalachian State University to get a business degree, then switched to criminal justice with thoughts of becoming a homicide detective. He also took the gig as a bouncer. After his junior year, he was back home for the summer, bored, working at a go-kart track. His mother reminded him that he had a guitar sitting in his bedroom closet that his parents bought him when he was in seventh grade; he had taken one lesson and bailed. Maybe he wanted to give it a try? He started to teach himself how to play.

And then there was no looking back. Playing at the Town Tavern turned into four or five shows a week, then putting a band together, “booking our own shows and driving the truck and pulling the trailer and unloading gear and loading it in and setting up speakers.” With one month left before graduation, Combs left school and headed to Nashville. So when he got signed and the hits and headlining dates started coming, he may have seemed like an overnight sensation, but he knew he was prepared.

“By the time I got my deal, I had been playing shows full-time for five years,” he says. “It does seem like it came out of nowhere, but I’d done my 10,000 hours of singing before I ever even learned how to play guitar. So I did feel ready. I never walked out and wondered, ‘Is someone going to think I’m good?’ I just went out and did it. I believed that I was doing something that was different, and something that was going to work.”

Harder for Combs, though, was adjusting to celebrity. He tries to keep his life as close as possible to what it was before all the Number One hits, and that yearning for simpler days still comes through on songs like “Back 40 Back” on Gettin’ Old. “I think I’m finally at peace with it now,” he says. “It was tough for a few years—feeling like you couldn’t go anywhere, like you couldn’t do anything. That’s kind of going away. I just live my life, I go to the grocery store and go out to eat and whatever. I used to not even do that stuff, because it was overwhelming—it always felt like somebody was looking at you or watching you or something. But now I honestly forget about that whole part of it.”

Emphasizing that “I’ve never tried to be something I’m not” (and pointing to his baseball caps-and-camo clothing choices as proof), maintaining a life outside the spotlight is especially important to Combs since the birth of his son, Tex Lawrence Combs, last June. “I want my son—and eventually my children—to have as normal of a life as they deserve to have,” he says, “to ride bikes, to have privacy, to go fishing. I don’t want them to be on jets all the time going all around the world—not that we wouldn’t go on vacation together. I want them to have the things that I didn’t have. But I also want them to have the things that I did have, which was a really fun, normal feeling childhood.”

Luke Combs knows that eventually, someday, his streak of Number One singles has to end. Maybe it will even be a relief. Anyway, figuring out those priorities is all part of growin’ up and gettin’ old.

“You obviously would love for it to keep going,” he says. “But chasing records or streaks, I don’t benefit from it as a human being. It’s great to have the most weeks at Number One or whatever; that stuff’s amazing. Nobody wouldn’t want those things. But I don’t ever think about that when I go in to write a song or produce a record, because then you’ve lost the whole art and the joy of it. I’m not going to sacrifice the integrity of what I love to do just for that.

“I’d be bummed to see it end,” he adds, “but my son would still smile when I got home, so it’s fine.”

DYLAN MARLOWE DROPS TWO NEW SONGS TODAY: “GREW UP COUNTRY” + “EMPTY SHOTGUN (MR. MECHANIC)”

Today, buzzworthy Sony Music Nashville singer-songwriter Dylan Marlowe dropped two new tracks, “Grew Up Country” and “Empty Shotgun (Mr. Mechanic).” Listen here.

This morning, Dylan shared his new track “Grew Up Country” on the Kelleigh Bannen show. Penned by Dylan, Zach Abend, and Jeb Gibson, the singer said, “‘Grew Up Country’ is about growing up like I did in a small town in Georgia. It was a simple way to live but I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Written by Dylan, Seth Ennis, and Joe Fox, fan-favorite “Empty Shotgun (Mr. Mechanic)” first garnered attention during his live shows for the hooky lyrics and wordplay. “Both ‘Empty Shotgun’ and ‘Grew Up Country’ are a lot of fun to play live,” Dylan added.

Earlier this year, Dylan made waves with the release of his latest track, “Record High,” which Outsider called “arguably his best work yet,” noting that “very few country singers have seen their musical stock rise as quickly as Marlowe’s has in the last few years.” Additionally, MusicRow praised the track, calling it “Moody and haunting. The soundscape ripples with dobro, muted percussion and chimed electronics. His broken-hearted delivery aches with sincerity. Excellent work.”

Named one of Spotify’s 2023 Hot Country Artists to Watch, Dylan will be heading out on HARDY’s the mockingbird & THE CROW FALL TOUR this fall. For tour dates and tickets, visit DylanMarloweMusic.com.

About Dylan Marlowe

Statesboro, Georgia native Dylan Marlowe is Nashville’s newest rising star on the country music scene, where he comes likely wearing camouflage and an audible smile, equipped with a sound that blends traditional country themes with a touch of rock. Dylan found his way to Nashville just before the start of the pandemic but made lemonade from lemons, filling his days with songwriting, networking, and finetuning his craft. After Dylan shared a performance of his countrified rewrite of the Olivia Rodrigo hit “Driver’s License” to social media, people really started paying attention. The clip immediately quadrupled his TikTok following and has racked up over a million views on YouTube to date. The enthusiasm surrounding the track prompted him to release it to streaming services, followed by his own infectious tunes like “All About It,” “I’ll Keep The Country,” and “Why’d We Break Up Again.” Now, with his first No. 1 as a songwriter for Jon Pardi’s “Last Night Lonely” under his belt, his explosive new single, “Record High,” and his opening slot on HARDY’s tour this fall, Dylan has set the scene for a monumental takeoff in 2023. Drawing from influences like Kenny Chesney, Eric Church and Cody Johnson, Dylan is carving out his own creative niche that he’s filling with music that fans will readily identify with the name Dylan Marlowe.

ABOUT MEGAN MORONEY:

Born and raised in Georgia, Megan Moroney grew up in a musical household heavily influenced by legendary songwriters in Classic Country, Southern Rock, and Americana.

From there, she developed a love for storytelling and has become known for her distinctive voice and honest, conversational lyrics. 2022 brought the singer a breakout year with the release of her debut EP, Pistol Made of Roses, followed by her single “Tennessee Orange,” which put her on the map as Nashville’s most compelling new artist. The colossal buzz surrounding the track prompted her to perform it on ESPN’s College GameDay, while racking up 156 MILLION global streams to date. The viral hit is also nominated for BREAKTHROUGH FEMALE VIDEO OF THE YEAR (“Tennessee Orange”) andCMT DIGITAL-FIRST PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR (“Tennessee Orange” from CMT Viral To Verified) at the 2023 CMT MUSIC AWARDS. After opening stints on tours with Larry Fleet, Chase Matthews, Jamey Johnson, and Warren Zeiders last year, she is kicking off her first headline run with the SOLD-OUT PISTOL MADE OF ROSES TOUR this spring and continuing with THE LUCKY TOUR in the fall. In between, fans can catch her out with Brooks & Dunn this summer. Dubbed a “2023 Artist to Watch” by Amazon Music, Pandora, and Spotify, as well as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country for 2023, the “musical risktaker with powerhouse pipes” (CMT) is slated to become a household name in the years to come.

SEAFORTH DROPS ROMANTIC NEW TRACK “I CAN’T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE” TODAY

PLAYS TO SOLD-OUT CROWDS IN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY ON ABOUT TIME TOUR

PACKED SUMMER INCLUDES APPEARANCES AT STAGECOACH, GULF COAST JAM, CMA FEST, CAROLINA COUNTRY MUSIC FEST, BOOTS AND HEARTS, AND MORE SUMMER FESTIVALS

Seaforth’s charming new release, “I Can’t Take You Anywhere,” is available now. Listen here and watch a special visual accompaniment here.

“This song is essentially about being so into someone that you can’t help but get distracted by how good they look and end up canceling plans just to be with them,” said the duo’s Tom Jordan and Mitch Thompson. “Musically and lyrically, it’s a bit different for us, and it feels like a progression. We remember diving in pretty deep on the lyrics and taking our time getting the phrasing and internal rhymes right the day we wrote it. We loved it after we wrote it, but it was one that crept up on us over time. We’re excited for people to hear this one and hopefully relate it to their own lives in some way.”

Featuring the pair’s signature harmonies and progressive production, “I Can’t Take You Anywhere” was written by Jordan and Thompson with Zack Dyer and Paul Overstreet. Seaforth has been playing the song to rabid crowds across the country on their headlining ABOUT TIME TOUR, which expanded to the U.S. following a standout run in their native Australia.

“We have started playing it on our current tour, and it’s been a blast. It’s always exciting to play something new, and fans haven’t booed us off stage yet, so that’s a good sign,” joked Jordan and Thompson.

With recent sellouts in New York City and Asbury Park, N.J., the ABOUT TIME TOUR continues next week in Ohio and Michigan before Seaforth hit a stacked summer schedule that includes Stagecoach, Gulf Coast Jam, CMA Fest, and more.

ANDREW JANNAKOS FINDS CHURCH IN NATURE WITH NEW SONG, “MEET MY MAKER”

Rising singer-songwriter Andrew Jannakos shared his new track today, “Meet My Maker.” Listen here.

Written by Jannakos along with Andy Albert, Karen Kosowski, and Emma Lee, the song recounts the singer’s experiences of feeling close to God when he’s out in nature.

Jannakos said of the track: “‘Meet My Maker’ came about when I realized every time I was in the outdoors, I would catch myself talking to the Good Lord. Asking for forgiveness or just talking to Him to get some things off my chest. And if you haven’t got to experience it before, it’s something that will just stop you in your tracks. To get to watch the sun cross over and begin to rise, to hear all the animals come to life and watch them start off a new day with no clue you’re there. It’s something you’ll never forget, and it’s where I Meet My Maker.” 

Earlier this year, Jannakos released “Gettin’ There,” which was considered a “New Country Song You Need To Hear Right Now” by Country NowThe Nash News lauded his voice on the track, calling it “as smooth as can be.” Additionally, Jannakos recently debuted his song, “Heaven’s Like A Hometown,” which CMT praised that it not only shows off his “colorful knack for songwriting, but [also] his robust vocals made for the radio,” while Country Now deemed the song “a slice of nostalgia with a whole lot of heart.”

LUKE COMBS’ NEW SONG “5 LEAF CLOVER” OUT TODAY

NEW ALBUM “GETTIN’ OLD” OUT NEXT FRIDAY

RECORD-BREAKING WORLD TOUR BEGINS MARCH 25

“one of music’s mightiest voices and a hitmaking force arguably unlike any seen out of Nashville this century”—USA Today 

“a superstar who is shaping the future of the genre while also serving as one of its fiercest defenders”
The Washington Post

March 17, 2023—Country superstar and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs’ new song, “5 Leaf Clover,” written by Combs, Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill, is out today. Listen/share HERE

Of the song, Combs shares, “A while back my buddy Newdy and I were looking around the clover plot at my house for 4 leaf clovers. I eventually found one, but shortly thereafter, he found a 5 leaf clover and I thought to myself, ‘Man, how lucky do you have to be to find a 5 leaf clover?’ Didn’t think too much of it at the time but wrote that down as a title in my phone. A few weeks later, I was writing with Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill and it came up. It still wasn’t really anything that jumped off the page to me, but I shared the idea and guitar melody I had with them and they loved it. We ended up writing the song that day. I eventually started playing it at shows and posting a video of the song, and y’all quickly let me know it was one I had to record; that’s why I’m super pumped for y’all to finally hear it!” 

“5 Leaf Clover” is the fourth song unveiled from Combs’ new album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record, Growin’ Up—which will be released next Friday, March 24 via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville (pre-order here). Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan SingletonGettin’ Old is Combs’ fourth full-length album following Growin’ Up, 2019’s 3x Platinum What You See is What You Get and his 4x Platinum debut, This One’s For You. Across these eighteen tracks, including a rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” Combs continues to establish himself as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices, as he explores themes of family, legacy, love and personal growth. 

Ahead of the release, Combs has unveiled three album tracks: “Joe,” “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old” and “Love You Anyway,” of which The New York Times praises, “His bellow is more stable, his emotional presence more dignified. But there’s still something of a purring engine inside songs like ‘Love You Anyway,’” while Billboarddeclares, “it immediately sounds like one of his strongest to date.”

The album adds to a historic career for Combs, who extended his record-breaking run at country radio this week as his single, “Going, Going, Gone,” reached #1. This is Combs’ 15th consecutive #1 single—the longest consecutive streak for an artist since their debut—and makes Combs one of the fastest to accumulate 15 #1s, joining the ranks of Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Alabama. Additionally, Combs recently earned 26 new Platinum and Gold RIAA certifications. 

Furthermore, Combs will kick off his massive World Tour next weekend with sixteen North American stadium shows, all of which sold out immediately. With 39 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the record-breaking run is the largest tour ever for a country artist. The upcoming trek includes shows at Arlington, TX’s AT&T Stadium, Nashville’s Nissan Stadium and Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, as well as stops in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Belgium. See below for complete tour itinerary. 

Reflecting on the record, Combs shares, “This album is about the stage of life I’m in right now. One that I’m sure a lot of us are in, have been through, or will go through. It’s about coming of age, loving where life is now but at the same time missing how it used to be, continuing to fall for the one you love and loving them no matter what, living in the moment but still wondering how much time you have left, family, friends, being thankful, and leaving a legacy. Me and so many others have poured their hearts and souls into this record, and I hope you love it as much as we do.”            

A member of the Grand Ole Opry and an 8x CMA, 3x ACM, 3x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs is in the midst of a historic series of years. Most recently, he was named CMA Entertainer of the Year for the second-consecutive year this past November and recently earned his record-setting, fourteenth-consecutive #1 single with “The Kind of Love We Make.” Continuing his monumental run at country radio, Combs’ current single, “Going, Going, Gone,” is currently top 3 and rising. Additionally, with his 2019 release, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, Combs reached #1 on Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Albums chart, Top 100 Songs chart and Artists 500 chart—the first country artist ever to lead all three charts in the same week and first to top the Artists 500.
