With the meteoric rise of Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan over the past two years, it seems as if Luke Combs has taken a bit of a backseat to the two. That being said, however, it would be foolish to not recognize how big of a juggernaut the Where The Wild Things Are singer has become over the past six years.

The question that remains is, “What album is his strongest?” As…
After making the transition from being the frontman of Hootie & The Blowfish to a bonafide country star, Darius Rucker has experienced quite a career in country music over the past 15 years.

After making waves in the alternative folk scene with the release of Stick Season in 2022, Noah Kahan has been slowly inching his way into the country scene. Between releasing a Spotify-exclusive version of Jason Isbell’s If We Were Vampires and collaborating with Zach Bryan on Sarah’s Place, Kahan has slowly introduced himself as a country collaboration regular. Today, however, it’s Kacey Musgraves who is crossing over into Kahan’s alternative folk world. Kahan took to TikTok on Sept. 30 to tease the version without name-dropping Musgraves.
