Luke Combs Reveals Full 22-Song Tracklist For Upcoming Album, “The Way I Am,” Featuring An Alison Krauss Duet

After what felt like months upon months of anticipation and speculation, last month, Luke Combs announced his sixth studio album The Way I Am, which is set for release on March 30th. Produced by Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Chip Matthews, the record will feature a whopping 22 songs, and he says he’s very proud of the album: “It’s been a long process getting this thing going, but I’m really proud of this record. I’ve loved the song ‘Sleepless in a Hotel Room’ for a long time and it’s been awesome to see how excited the fans are for that one as well.” Combs has already released quite a bit of new music from the project, including the likes of “Giving Her Away,” “Back in the Saddle,” “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “Days Like These” and the highly anticipated “Sleepless in a Hotel Room,” which currently entered the Top 20 on US Country Radio today. Given the fact that the “Hurricane” singer has teased so much new music over the past six months, ranging from full studio teasers for “Be By You” and “Rethink Some Things” within the last month to 14 demos teased on his “secret” Instagram account back in August, there’s been plenty of speculation about what songs were ultimately going to make the cut. With The Way I Am set to release in a little over five weeks, Combs pulled the trigger today and revealed the entire 22-song tracklist for the album. View this post on Instagram Barring any title changes, only one song from Combs’ original set of demos for the album back in August actually made the cut, the closing track which felt reminiscent of songs present on 2023’s Growin’ Up, “A Man Was Born.” A bit surprisingly, Combs is only including one feature on the lengthy album. With that being said, however, it’s bound to be a good one given that he’s calling upon 27x Grammy Award-winner and bluegrass legend, Alison Krauss, to appear on the 15th track, “Ever Mine.” Though he rarely crosses over into bluegrass, he’s shown the ability to seamlessly transition as he did on the severely underrated collaboration with Billy Strings back in 2021, “The Great Divide.” Another song that is bound to turn heads is none other than the 14th track, “I Ain’t No Cowboy.” Taking a look at the co-writers on it, it was written by reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year, Cody Johnson, along with the North Carolina native himself and Jake Mears. This comes directly off the heels of CoJo confirming that the pair cut a song together for his upcoming album. As of now, Johnson is not set to be featured on “I Ain’t No Cowboy.” With that being said, however, it would not surprise me in the slightest if he appears on an eventual deluxe edition of the record or even a stand-alone version of the track. Other notable songs appearing on The Way I Am that have been teased in the past are “Wish Upon Whiskey,” which was first performed last February live in concert and “Daytona 499,” which appeared as an easter egg in his “Back in the Saddle” music video, featuring NASCAR legends Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Richard Petty. Along with the tracklist announcement, Combs would also announce that the aforementioned “Be By You” is releasing this Friday, February 13th. The Way I Am Tracklist “Back in the Saddle” “My Kinda Saturday Night” “Days Like These” “15 Minutes” “Alcohol of Fame” “Daytona 499” “The Way I Am” “Wish Upon Whiskey” “Soon As I Get Home” “Rethink Some Things” “Giving Her Away” “Seeing Someone” “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” “I Ain’t No Cowboy” “Ever Mine” (feat. Alison Krauss) “Can’t Tell Me I’m Wrong” “Miss You Here” “Tell ‘Em About Tonight” “Be By You” “The Me Part of You” “Rich Man” “A Man Was Born” Before you go, fire up his latest single, “Sleepless in a Hotel Room.”  The post Luke Combs Reveals Full 22-Song Tracklist For Upcoming Album, “The Way I Am,” Featuring An Alison Krauss Duet first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
