Luke Combs’ is a relatable mainstream country everyman on ‘What You See Is What You Get.’ Read our review
Ian Bates for Rolling Stonehas ascended to the very top of commercial country music. His well-crafted, down-the-center power balladry arrived at a transitional moment for the genre, when artists like Chris Stapleton and Sam Hunt were providing two models of country that helped it evolve past the beach bonfire party sounds that defined Nashville country earlier in the decade. On his new album, Combs continues the genre’s evolution but also keeps one foot firmly planted in its Nineties glory days.
At 29, Combs effectively plays the role of knowledgeable elder and clear-voiced truth-teller, packing his early-middle-aged wisdoms into kitchen-magnet truisms on songs like the rowdy title track, “New Every Day,” and “Every Little Bit Helps,” a tale of the small things he does in vain to try to forget an ex. “
This futon I crashed on in college, well, it ain’t our bed/but at least it don’t smell like you,” he sings with keen attention to detail.
