Combs announces new release
There was no information about the title or songs. "Additional details to be announced soon," according to a press release.
The new album is the follow up to the ACM, CMA, CMT and Billboard Music Award-winning artist's breakthrough double Platinum debut, "This One's For You," currently number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart for the 44th non-consecutive week. That is the longest reign ever for a male artist and second longest for an artist overall following Shania Twain's "Come On Over" in 1997 (50 weeks).
In June, Combs released "The Prequel" EP, which debuted at number one. The lead single, "Beer Never Broke My Heart," is first this week on both Billboard's Country Airplay and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts. This is Combs' sixth consecutive number one, a first on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and his fastest rising single to date (13 weeks).
Combs will continue his sold-out "Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour" this fall including newly confirmed stops at San Diego's Pechanga Arena, Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center, San Antonio's AT&T Center, Louisville's KFC Yum! Center, Los Angeles' Greek Theatre (two nights) and Nashville's Bridgestone Arena (two nights).

The saying, 'Strike while the iron's hot,' applies to many situations, but especially to the music business. The scene moves so fast these days that this last year's star could be this year's 'Where are they now?'

Luke Combs has gotten a lot of life out of his album "This One's for You," which includes his breakthrough hit "Hurricane," as well as the popular single "When It Rains It Pours." This deluxe edition includes five new tracks, many of which are just as strong as the original 12.
"Houston, We Got a Problem" includes a smart lyric highlighting specific details about that big Texas city. Even though it has all these famous landmarks, it doesn't have ...
Five years ago, when beer-drinking, truck-driving-in-the-country country songs were en vogue, Luke Combs' full-length debut would have fit right in.
