ACM Male Artist of the Year Luke Combs is gearing up to release a deluxe version of his latest album and to celebrate, he released a new song and shared the track list for the project.
Out October 23, the new deluxe edition, dubbed What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, includes the album’s 18 original tracks (with the addition of “Six Feet Apart) as well as five brand new songs. The new tracks are: “Cold As You,” “The Other Guy,” “My Kinda Folk,” “Without You” (feat. Amanda Shires) and “Forever After All.”
To coincide with the track list reveal, Combs released a touching new song called “Without You.” The track, which features Shires on the violin, is a tribute to the superstar’s wife, family and fans.

“I’ve got a brand new song out called ‘Without You.’ It is a thank you to my family, my wife, and to my incredible fans for everything. It feels like perfect timing. Three nights ago I got to sing on the @ACMawards
and was lucky enough to take home two incredible awards, Combs shared on social media following the song’s release. “None of this is possible without you, THANK YOU. Thank you for letting me live this crazy dream I get to wake up to everyday. I will never take it for granted and I will never stop making music for y’all. I would love for you to go take a listen and let me know what you think.”
The release of What You See Ain’t Always What You Get comes on the heels of yet another record-breaking year for the North Carolina native, who recently earned his ninth consecutive No.1 single with “Lovin’ On You.” After taking home two ACM Awards this week, Combs is heading into the upcoming CMA Awards with six nominations, including Entertainer of the Year.
