Luke Combs is a huge star from North Carolina, but he recently said something that shocked his fans. He sat down on the Mostly Sports podcast and talked about which state has the best singers. Even though he loves his home, he gave the crown to Kentucky. He said the talent there is simply better than anywhere else.
He named heavy hitters like Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers to prove his point. This started a fun fight between fans from the Tar Heel State and the Bluegrass State. People from North Carolina think their stars are number one. But Luke insists that the voices coming out of the Kentucky hills have a special soul you cannot find anywhere else.

Luke even shows off this love by singing “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive, a song by Brad Paisley, a Kentucky artist. One fan said that Luke sounds like he belongs in the mountains. Another viewer wrote that Kentucky just produces a different breed of vocalist. Everyone seems to agree that when Luke sings about the coal mines, he sounds like he has lived that hard life himself.
Luke does not just talk about this music; he actually makes it. He moves from singing old covers to writing his own songs that feel like they belong in a small Kentucky town. His new song “Days Like These” is the perfect example of this change.

“Days Like These” features a lot of fiddle and mandolin to create a porch-jam vibe. He sings about blue skies and green grass, which fans say is a nod to the Bluegrass State.
Luke Combs himself has a massive voice, but stays humble enough to praise other artists. His journey from North Carolina bars to stadium stages is truly inspiring for every fan.
