Luke Combs and Eric Church Opinions of

[NewApp]

Putting this in the football folder because there is often discussions about their representing Appalachian on the tours and interviews as well as appearing in our stadium. Country or country pop is not my genre and have never heard any of their songs in entirety, but I know App students, fans, and alumni are proud of their success.

All I want are subjective or objective opinions of the best recordings or performances of their music, lyrics as well as music.

My opinion of their genre is that I like Doc Watson's blue grass music better than each since I have never heard a full song or performance of Luke nor Eric especially of what I've heard mention of their genre.
I'll bow out of this discussion except to comment on this post as being called pointless. And no, I don't care if this thread is two posts long or a hundred.

If this subject is so interesting to you then why don’t you take the time to listen to a fair sampling of their songs? Then you can decide whether you like them or not.

There are many musicians I like and don’t like across the board in all genres. I typically try them out before I pass judgement or say I don’t know if I haven’t heard their stuff. I don’t use the genre tag to determine whether I like ir don’t like a performer without listening to them. I recommend same to anybody.

I like some songs from both these guys but not everything they put out.

I never said I never listened to it. I said I had never listened to a whole song. Basically what I have heard were links on here referencing his interviews and when one of them talked in the coverage of Game Day. I'm just proud of them no matter what they sing. Just wanted to know why folks liked their music. Now if some one wouldn't mind recommending one song from each, I might sacrifice listening to songs I know I like. The whole point is for me to find out why fans like them so much. RIF. Carry on.

Doing This by Luke Combs is really good.
I have all types on my Spotify separated into different libraries.. alternative, rock, etc.. Country is one of them, however I listen to it the least as I am more of an alternative guy.
I do not have Eric Church on Spotify....not that I have an opinion one way or the other...I just have not listened to him as I do not listen to country channel on SiriusXM very often. More fans of country music would have to chime in.
I posted about the Luke Combs interview as he is an App guy and I did not know anything about him. It is a good interview regardless of whet people think about Rogan. I listened to it because Combs posted about it on social media...I went for interviewee..all I knew is that Rogan does very long interviews with his guests....and the Combs interview is long and they come across as having a conversation and Combs as a regular guy.

There will be a lot of Church critics because of his ties the UNC. And that’s fair. But if you just let the music stand by itself he is an awesome songwriter and performer. His music crosses boundaries and while it is mostly country it really doesn’t fir completely in any category. In concert he always covers rock songs and his studio albums include songs that fuse country, rock, mowtown and the blues. If you think you wouldn’t like his music because you don’t listen to country you’re missing out. I like Combs too and I’m not a huge country fan. I am moving more and more in that direction.

Country music is not really my thing. That said, I have listened to both Eric Church and Luke Combs and I have some songs by both. Both have done songs I like. Church has a little more Rock influence it seems. I think Combs is a little more consistent in his style. The nod for me goes to Luke...maybe it's influenced by the personality issues. He just seems to be a great guy. I've seen interviews with him and I think he would be a great guy to hang out with. I'm not an Eric Church hater, by the way. I think it sucks that he supports UNC but I appreciate the money he gives to App and at the end of the day, he has the right to pull for anyone he wants, even if it's a terrible choice.

FWIW, I'm not looking to be a connoisseur of their music. I just want to see what the fascination is with their music aside from the pride with them being two of our own. I already have too much music that I like already. The only real country music I prefer is the older crossover and the really older pure country music like Hank Williams,Sr and much more recent such as Alan Jackson. . In addition, Tom T Hall whom I was fortunate to meet and talk to for almost an hour back in 1989. Really down to earth country gentle man.

Here is another take on music, at least for me. There have been songs I hear and immediately like it. I have also heard songs that didn't catch my ear immediately and then upon hearing it a few more times I really liked it. So for me, sometimes I need to get a few test runs before I pass final judgement. Just me and maybe not everybody. Also as has been said above, both these guys don't fit into a specific mold with all their songs. They cross genres or mix in multiple sounds across their portfolios, therefore you may like some songs and hate others. Any how can someone else tell you why you should like an artist. It is what works for you.

I don't much care for his or what's his name's genre of music, but I care for the way he is down to earth and loves kids. From now on, I'm a fan. No questions asked. End of discussion.
