Luke Combs’ Unreleased Cuts That You Need to Listen To ASAP

/in , , /by

Luke Combs is the gift that keeps on giving. For over a year, the entertainer has delivered new music, including sharing many unreleased songs with fans via social media. Here are nine Luke Combs unreleased cuts that you need to listen to ASAP.

 

“The Kind of Love We Make”

Most recently, Combs shared a brand new unreleased song with fans. The track is a sensual and romantic tune that leaves little to the imagination.

 

“We Still Drink Beer”

Combs was inspired by a tweet from some fans to create this fun-loving jam. “We Still Drink Beer” is a hit in the making, and we hope it has a place on the singer-songwriter’s next record.

 

“Ever Mine”

Last year, Combs shared a heartbreakingly beautiful song called “Ever Mine.” The track  embodies country storytelling. It is a true, raw, and emotive song that would be the perfect addition to the singer’s impressive catalog of music.

 

“Five-Leaf Clover”

“Five-Leaf Clover” is another love letter to life that Combs has created, as well as, a thank you to fans for believing in him. The song is another example of how humble Combs truly is.

 

“Good Old Days”

Back in June, Combs shared an unreleased song called “Good Old Days.” It is a simple mid-tempo track in which Combs lists his favorite parts about his younger days, including smalltown fairs and driving with your buddies in a truck.

 

“Joe”

Combs premiered this song during a performance at the Opry, receiving as standing ovation by the audience. He uses his voice to share a powerful story of a blue-collar worker and his redemption and recovery from alcoholism. A simple and quiet song, “Joe” is a top-notch storytelling song in country music.

 

“See Me Now”

In March, Combs shared this heartfelt song with fans via social media. On the track, the entertainer sings about similarities between himself and a loved one that has passed away. The song continues to unfold into a conversation he would have if he could still talk to that person.

 

“Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old”

Keeping busy, even when not on the stage, Combs gave fans a sneak peak of “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old.” The song is all about looking at the younger days from the perspective of adulthood.

 

“Sleepless in a Hotel Room”

Co-written by Combs with Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana, “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” is all about longing to be with the one you love. Combs teased the song all the way back in October 2020, so we only hope the song ends up on album #3!

Jameson Rodgers’ “Cold Beer Calling My Name” Goes Number One

/in , , /by

Jameson Rodgers’ song “Cold Beer Calling My Name” featuring Luke Combs officially goes number one, marking the singer-songwriter’s second number one of his career.

Fresh off releasing his long-awaited debut album, Bet You’re From A Small Town, Jameson Rodgers officially has another number one song under his belt as an artist.

Back in October 2020, Rodgers earned his first number one single with “Some Girls.” Today, the singer-songwriter can celebrate his second hit with “Cold Beer Calling My Name” featuring longtime friend and fellow hitmaker, Luke Combs.

As soon as “Cold Beer Calling My Name” was released, critics and fans alike knew that the song was going to be a success. Rodgers has truly found his sound as an artist. The stellar songwriter knows what it takes to make a hit song. This is evident, as he is two for two with his radio singles so far. Combs has yet to miss with any singles, so having him on the song was just an added bonus!

Jameson Rodgers & Luke Combs' "Cold Beer Calling My Name" hits Number One

Jameson Rodgers & Luke Combs’ “Cold Beer Calling My Name” hits Number One

“There’s a cold beer calling my name // Feel a good time coming, got a new song humming // And the sunset’s doin’ its thing // Feeling lucky as a seven, yeah, sometimes Heaven // Is a pocket full of payday green // And my baby putting sugar on me // Yeah, it’s sure been a pretty damn good day // And there’s a cold beer calling my name, yeah”

We are excited to see what’s up next for Rodgers. Congrats to the singer and Combs on an incredible feat!

Luke Combs’ new song, “South On Ya” is out now, August 26th, on all streaming platforms. The track serves as SEC Football’s latest hype song. Take a look below as we dig into the track.

Luke Combs has been a man of the people all quarantine long! The superstar consistently releases brand new music, keeping a ‘fans first’ mentality, always. He recently secured two more number one hits to add to his collection with “Forever After All” and “Better Together.” Additionally, Combs has teased numerous unreleased tracks over the past few months including “See Me Now” and “Good Old Days.” Today, in collaboration with SEC Football, the singer officially releases the latest hype song, “South On Ya.”

The song grew in popularity when Combs first teased the track earlier this summer and is slated to serve as the SEC Network’s 2021 college football anthem. “South On Ya” is as fun and rowdy as they come, proving that Combs is just a good old southern boy at heart. In the track, the singer pays homage to the fourteen teams in the football conference.

“Got a little dirt road dust runnin’ through our blood // From a never-heard-of-it hometown // Got a can’t-quit heart and some take-it-too-far // And a whole lot of never-back-down”

The southern anthem is a perfect fit for Combs’ impressive catalog of music. It is nice to see the singer have some fun on the one-of-a-kind jam!

Luke Combs shared a brand new unreleased song, “Five-Leaf Clover” with fans. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.

It seems as though Luke Combs is always teasing new music. Combs is still riding the success of his ACM and CMA award-winning album, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, and its single “Forever After All” recently going number one for the fifth straight week. Just the other day, he shared a brand new song “Good Old Days” with fans on social media. Now, he’s sharing another unreleased song called “Five-Leaf Clover.”

The new song feels exactly like the superstar we know and love. “Five-Leaf Clover” is another love letter to life Combs has created and a thank you to fans for believing in him. Throughout the verses, the singer-songwriter expresses all the things he is thankful for. It’s clear that despite his one-of-a-kind success, Combs will always remain as humble as can be.

“I make it home every evening // To an angel God sent from above // Got an 8 point on camera from last year // This season looks like a ten // Got a barn with a fridge full of cold beer / On the weekends it’s full of good friends”

We hope that more unreleased music is on the horizon from the singer, and we suspect that it is! Luke Combs is a megastar for a damn good reason!

It seems as though Luke Combs is always teasing new music. Still riding the success of his ACM and CMA award-winning album, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, with its single “Forever After All” recently going number one for the fifth straight week, he shared a new video of his latest song “Good Old Days”, building quite the unreleased catalog, along with “See Me Now,” and “Joe.”

“Good Old Days” is a simple, mid-tempo track in which Combs lists his favorite parts about his younger days, including small-town fairs and driving with your buddies in a truck. He brings the energy to the live performance, as his vocals shine behind the pounding drums and electric guitar when the chorus comes around.

“We were young, we were free // didn’t have a thing we didn’t need // We were wild, we were green // back when we knew everything // Back in the good old days”
