Most of us know Luke Combs for his powerhouse, road-tough vocals. We know him for his passionate live performances and poetic pen. We listen over and over again to his love songs for his wife, like ” Beautiful Crazy” and “The Kind of Love We Make.” Combs also has a knack for writing hits that can masterfully infuse humor (and beer) into songs, like “Beer Never Broke My Heart” or “When It Rains It Pours.” But, surprise! Luke Combs wrote these 4 songs and gave them away to other artists.
On one of the songs you’ll learn about here, he intended to be a part of- in a duet. Unfortunately, the timing didn’t work out and another male country artist was given the job. There’s a Combs penned song he had originally thought of keeping for himself, but he ended up giving to a female artist. In the end, Luke decided it would better suit her, as it was about really a better fit for a singer with a baby girl. Luke has 2 boys, by the way.
Find out all about these 4 songs. Who sang them and co-wrote them? And why were they given away? You’re answers are here! Undoubtedly, Combs is one of the biggest stars in country music today. You know he works hard to keep that title, among many others like the CMA Entertainer of the Year (2022). Last year, Luke was named Country Writer of the Year at the Broadcast Music Inc. Awards.
A Little Background On Luke Combs
Many artists start out their careers writing songs for other singers. They move to Nashville, get signed by a publishing group and start churning out songs. When Luke was just a young boy he started performing for people. He did class chorus, school musical and church choir. Dropping out of college with just 21 hours shy of his degree requirements only helped fuel the future star. So, Combs had no plan B, but he has no regrets. Certainly, it all worked out for one of country music’s biggest stars!
