The full story behind the iconic photo. Back in 2023, NFL legend Peyton Manning co-hosted the CMA Awards with Luke Bryan, and that night, Luke Combs took home Single of the Year with his cover of “Fast Car” and helped Tracy Chapman make history with the song, leading her to win Song of the Year, making her the first Black songwriter to win the CMA Song of the Year trophy. He also received the CMA International Artist Achievement Award that year, but it was a viral photo of Luke with Manning well after the show was over that got a lot of attention. In a photo dump on Instagram, it was a selfie with Peyton Manning that took the internet by storm, as Luke looked less-than-thrilled in the picture, while Peyton couldn’t be more excited. It’s a funny contrast, and if you scroll to #9 in the post, you can see it there: View this post on Instagram Last night, Luke appeared on ESPN’s alternative ManningCast broadcast with Peyton and Eli Manning, which started in 2021 on ESPN2, and has been a big hit among football fans. Luke is a huge Panthers fan, and seeing as the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers were facing off on Monday Night Football, he was the perfect guest for the show (I don’t want to talk about the end result of the game). They of course chatted football, and even showed a photo I’ve never seen before of Luke from his college days playing rugby, where he joked about his football dreams and how in high school, he had planned to be the “Kyle Juszczyk of Western North Carolina.” I mean, it has a nice ring to it… They joked that, while he didn’t become an NFL star, it’s all worked out for him in the long run, and Eli had producers pull up that iconic CMA Awards photo of Luke and Peyton, saying he knows how “awful” it is to hang out with his brother, adding that the picture “says it all:” “Look how excited he is, how miserable you look to be hanging out with him. Like, who is this guy? He’s trying to sing with me, probably.” Luke joked that it was “absolutely dreadful,” and he also pointed out that he definitely took the picture on his phone, and he pointed out that he has no idea “what state” either of them were in when it was taken in the wee hours of the morning (it looks like they were at Losers), so that certainly would explain the very funny expressions on both of their faces: “Absolutely dreadful, there… I definitely took that picture, by the way. That’s definitely from my phone, for sure. So I was definitely texting that to someone. In what state either of us are in that picture, there’s no telling. That was probably 1 or 2 AM spot there.” There you have it… the full story behind that great selfie. Luke also talked plenty of football with the Manning brothers, but let’s just say, I think both Luke and I are very disappointed about the outcome and it’s a little too soon to get into that… @nguyensenah_01Luke_Combs_joins_Peyton___Eli_during_Panthers_vs__49ers__MNF_ManningCast__Part_6♬ original sound – LiuKang The post Luke Combs Breaks Down Iconic Photo With Peyton Manning From 2023 CMA Awards: “No Telling What State Either Of Us Are In” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

23 years ago today. On November 25, 2002, Randy Travis released a song that would become one of the most iconic in his extensive catalog, “Three Wooden Crosses.” The song is arguably one of the most recognizable in country music, and if you’re anything like me, you were probably humming a bit of the chorus as you clicked on this blog. “There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highwayWhy there’s not four of them, Heaven only knowsI guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind youIt’s what you leave behind you when you go…” Penned by Kim Williams and Doug Johnson, the tune was released as a single ahead of his Rise and Shine album. The heartfelt song conveys a message of rage, redemption, and enduring faith. While the lyrics highlight some tragedies in the world that we might not ever be able to understand, the characters in the lyrics turn to their Creator for answers, knowing that God has a plan even though they might not be able to see or comprehend it. The song also offers a message of hope. While many see these heartbreaking events as something that could break their spirit, they keep going and keep living the life that the Lord has intended for them. Because of the powerful messaging in the lyrics, it’s a song that many can relate to. And the music has still resonated with fans over two decades since its release. Last year, Randy Travis’ team shared a heartwarming story of a man who found the light to keep living from “Three Wooden Crosses.” Terry Tyson, who works on Travis’ team, took to Facebook after a 2024 show to share a story about a young man who chatted with him at the merch table. The man asked Tyson what their least expensive item was, but he noted that it was still too expensive for him. He, in fact, hadn’t even bought a ticket to the show but wanted to come to see what he could afford at the merch table because Travis’ hit “Three Wooden Crosses” saved his life… literally: “He didn’t have a job and couldn’t buy a ticket for the show, but he wanted to come in and look at the merch. So I gave him my last huggie and said this one is on us tonight. He was so happy and was nearly in tears. He began to tell us how he was at the lowest point in his life and contemplating suicide when he heard Randy Travis singing ‘Three Wooden Crosses’ on the radio and how that particular moment changed his mind over the lyrics below. ‘It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you; it’s what you leave behind you when you go.’ He wanted to keep living.” The song made a lasting impact beyond listeners’ hearts, posting some incredible chart numbers, too. “Three Wooden Crosses” cracked the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #31. It was Randy’s 16th chart-topping hit, the first since his 1994 hit “Whisper My Name,” and it was his last single to have reached #1 on the charts… Although now that Travis is making music again, thanks to the help of AI, we might see him score another number one hit one of these days. “Three Wooden Crosses” also won him the CMA for Song of the Year in 2003, as well as a Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association as Country Song of the Year in 2004. It’s hard to put into words just how important this song is for Randy’s career and what it means to so many people. “Three Wooden Crosses” will always be a timeless song that carries personal meaning for many who listen to it. It’s only right to give it a spin while you’re here.
