Country music star Luke Combs has been making waves in the industry with his chart-topping hits and sold-out tours. But amidst all the success, he still has one dream that he hopes to fulfill – making a bluegrass album.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Combs shared his desire to explore the bluegrass genre and create an album that pays homage to his roots. Growing up in North Carolina, Combs was exposed to bluegrass music and has always been drawn to its raw and authentic sound.
“I’ve always loved bluegrass music. It’s where I come from and it’s a big part of who I am as an artist,” Combs said. “I’ve been wanting to make a bluegrass album for a long time now, and I still have that goal in mind.”
Combs’ love for bluegrass was evident in his early music, with songs like “Blue Collar Boys” and “When It Rains It Pours” incorporating elements of the genre. However, as his career took off, he found himself focusing more on mainstream country music.
But Combs hasn’t forgotten about his bluegrass aspirations. In fact, he revealed that he has already started working on some bluegrass tracks and hopes to release them in the future.
“I’ve been writing and recording some bluegrass songs, and I’m really excited about them. I can’t wait for my fans to hear them,” he shared.
While Combs is known for his powerful and relatable songwriting, he admits that he would never try to write a song like Jason Isbell or Zach Bryan. He believes in staying true to his own style and not trying to imitate others.
“It’s just not who I am. I have my own voice and my own story to tell. I don’t want to try to be someone else,” Combs explained.
In addition to his bluegrass aspirations, Combs also recently opened up about his struggles with anxiety and how he has been working on managing it. He hopes to use his platform to raise awareness and help others who may be going through similar challenges.
As for his fans, they can look forward to more music from Combs in the near future, including his highly anticipated bluegrass album. With his talent and passion for music, there’s no doubt that Combs will continue to make a mark in the industry and fulfill his dreams.
