What You See Ain'T Always What You Get

Product Information

Combs has been tossing this deep cut into his solo sets since as early as 2016, mixing a simple four-chord pattern — perhaps the most commonly used progression in all of country music — with lyrics about the photographs, recipes, and family ephemera that cover his parents’ ice box. It’s familiar-sounding stuff, but Combs works well in oft-trodden territory, remaking the go-to tropes of his genre to fit his own approach. Six Feet Apart", a standalone song released on May 1, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, was later added to the end of the album's digital and streaming editions.

Speaking of triumphs of the ordinary, probably the most original concept here belongs to “Refrigerator Door,” which elevates the idea of Frigidaire as art museum: “My first day of kindergarten, when I was 5 years old / A postcard that my cousin sent from Cancun, Mexico / A list of what Momma needs from the IGA today / Is just one small part of a work of art signed Kenmore in ’98.”“Angels Workin’ Overtime” is the nearest thing to a classic country lyric, pushing the idea that his celestial guardians are “wearin’ their wings off” while he works two jobs and bar-hops through the few free hours. If the other tunes aren’t that original, you can still find pleasure in the way he sings about “five diet Millers” and “a bobber on the water” and “my Mama’s first Bible, Daddy’s Don Williams vinyl, that first-fish-catching Zebco thirty-three.” Unlike Eric Church, his closest contemporary ( who cameos on the tender mid-tempo ballad “Does to Me”), Combs is entirely uninterested in tying together his LPs with a high concept framework. As a an old-fashioned Nashville formalist, Combs focuses his attention, instead, on the much-harder-than-it-looks process of creating instantly recognizable hooks (see his phrasing on the slurred chorus of “Beer Never Broke My Heart”).

I never knew a king size bed was just another place to drown, or how lonely ‘lonely’ sounds,” Combs laments during this amped-up power ballad, whose intro — a mixture of isolated piano and groundless, dissipating clouds of electric guitar — highlights the lonesome feeling of walking through life without your partner.
