Country Music News: Wednesday August 14th

Tyler Childers new album debuts at #1!!!

It's undeniable that Luke Combs knows how to write a hit country song. All five singles from his debut album, This One's for You(and its deluxe edition, This One's for You Too), topped Billboard's Country Airplay chart. His newest single, "Beer Never Broke My Heart," continued that streak with gusto, too, shooting to the top spot in just 13 weeks on the chart.

Now that he's conquered country radio, does Combs have his eye on crossover hits? Not exactly, says the singer, though he's not opposed to the idea

As first reported by Saving Country Music in early June, a new album by Ft. Worth native and surging independent country traditionalist Cody Jinks called After The Fire will be released on October 11th. Now we have the album art and track listing to accompany the news. To be released on Cody’s own label, Late August Records,After The Fire will include 10 news songs, including a remake of a song called “Think Like You Think,” which appeared on a semi-obscure release from Jinks called Collector’s Item in 2008.

After releasing his first few records on his own, and receiving widespread critical acclaim and posting surprising numbers for his 2015 record Adobe Sessions, Jinks signed a deal with Thirty Tigers to release 2016’s I’m Not The Devil. The record became Cody’s breakout smash, selling over 70,000 copies at last count and racking up huge streaming numbers. This led to Cody Jinks signing with Rounder Records to release 2018’s Lifers. He’s decided to go it alone once again for After The Fire.
