From Self-Funded Musician to Megastar: The Luke Combs Story | Dale Jr. Download

[@RPMCookeM]

Dang Dale!! That was such a fantastic episode. One of the best interviews I've ever watched. I felt like I was sitting right there with y'all just hanging out and listening to you both go on and on just like any good 'ol boys would do and the only thing missing was us dranking some of Luke's Miller Lites together. I was very impressed with your questions and how honest and forthcoming Luke was with his answers. I also am proud to be from North Carolina and hearing both of y'all talk so fondly of this state makes me have more respect and appreciation for you both. You made this old man's day!

[@GregorySovine-bt9hj]

EVERY song that man has put out as as single has gone number 1...and well deserved.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

Where the wild things are didn’t go to number 1, nor has his current single.

[@GregorySovine-bt9hj]

@@Commentleaver-c6x , I stand corrected. I knew the most recent one hasn't yet, but I did think Where the Wild Things Are did, it is actually one of my favorites of his lol.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

@@GregorySovine-bt9hj yeah it’s a good song I’m surprised it didn’t.

[@jerrypowell1965]

As he was starting to pop, he played at my bar The Udder Place in Turlock CA!! his voice is amazing!!

[@marcisawesome0469]

I love this podcast. Dale Jr. is such a class man ❤

[@jeffcarr470]

Awesome interview Dale.... Would love to hear you and Luke talking again. Both of you are great people.

[@kimberlyokeeffe5360]

Luke is one of those rare performers who can almost 'do it all' because he has stayed true to his roots. Like he said, he baby stepped his way to his success and it it is well deserved. He comes in the top 5 of my favorite performers!

[@thomsonmotorsports]

could not have been done better. didnt want to hear you say thats all for this time. waiting for the next one for sure. thanks jr

[@bschott2384]

That. Was. Awesome!! Well done Dale! More with Luke, let’s stream a Whiskey River Concert! Very cool, very fun

[@oneworldonegoal17]

This is awesome! I love how you switched into a musical guest - and deep dive into people's lives growing up - takes everybody back to simple times, playing kick the can with neighborhood kids (running through yards with a flashlight then parents calling you inside as it was already dark ; ) Agree too that you smell the air of home - I feel that when I come back to Miami and you just relax thinking Ahhh there's no place like home - (same when I go to my hometown that grew up in too) Great job June - very interesting fella 🎸 🎵 🎶, M.

[@danielchai6145]

i’m an okie but lived in mooresville and hickory for a few years. was at college gameday at app state when luke was there. always loved his music and how proud he is of where he’s from, and i loved north carolina too so it felt like a cool connection. I love oklahoma too and am very proud of oklahoma and his new song is AWESOME. super cool for dale to have him on.

[@Billy-ot8mk]

Fantastic interview Luke Combs is awesome. Next we need Cody Johnson on the DJD.

[@ThePlatinumEagle]

Man that intro feels like it’s from an authentic KZbinr! Love it Jr!

[@ronniebullock8821]

Great job Dale . Again another awesome interview.

[@DirtyMoMedia]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@matthewadkins9116]

This was so much fun to listen to! I saw Luke at Coyote Joe's before his first hit and knew then he was something special. He's stayed true to his way and is totally awesome! Thank you both for doing this.

[@jerryward648]

What a great interview. Jr and Luke wow!

[@JimmyJolly-d8v]

I know a guy named Robert Arthur that's been in Nashville for years playing guitar as a studio musician and he seems to be happy . He's been on some big time country stars albums

[@boredonawednesday]

This episode is proof we all need more of the download!

[@blakehess6211]

I love this I have bounced around on Spotify listening to dale jr he has down to earth cool people love it

[@Dirtyrpide4life]

RED CLAY STRAYS!🥃👊🏻🇺🇸 and Luke combs !! Epic

[@jennifermorin3229]

You’re a great interviewer Dale Jr.!

[@jess2690]

Never heard of his music, but really seems like a good individual and now ill give his stuff a listen. Never too late to go back to school, hope he gives it another shot.

[@mistyessinger]

Two of my favorites together, yes please!!🤟💚👏

[@GregorySovine-bt9hj]

Exactly, two of the most humble celebrities ever.

[@pswearingen3455]

Love you Luke, everything you do is Gold!❤

[@gillsilva5643]

I've watched many Luke Combs interviews over the Year's. There are a lot of people out there that have no idea how Luke Combs got his start the guy's name is Ryan Upchurch the song can I get an outlaw in 2015. I've never heard him mention his name in any interview. I've only found Ryan upchurch's music a couple years ago I was shocked he was independent and now has 4 billion streams on two platforms that's a real story. Great interview

[@BALDTIREINC]

Facts combs asked Ryan to pull the song down because it had the rebel flag in the song. Combs is a fake just like the rest of main stream.

[@TonyLUpchurch]

Mr. Luke combs is just doing what he’s told by his record company! Great Interview and big Fan

[@BALDTIREINC]

@@TonyLUpchurch you still don’t out the man who give you the opportunity he’s in now

[@TonyLUpchurch]

@@BALDTIREINC you always do what’s best for your own damn family, there’s no loyalty in business, I don’t particularly like the fact that he doesn’ mention Ryan , but I’m sure not going to get butt hurt over it.. we are talking about the guy that trashes his own Parents..

[@fishhuntadventure]

@@BALDTIREINC The rebel flag represents something. Or so I was informed in my 10 months I lived in S Carolina. I was told by several folks that ‘they’ hate black people but that ‘they want to kill you’ because I was a “yankee.” They said it was loyalty to flag, referring to the “rebel flag.” That was thirty years ago and since then I have absolutely no respect since for anyone that wants to fly that flag, or defend it. So take your haughty love and save it for your normal pride month activities.

[@Rockrat426]

That was great Dale,enjoyed it

[@kennethhemphill9447]

I was at Charlotte when Willie was grand marshal for the race riding in a convertible white caddie. Buddy bought our tickets on the first row, but low and behold Willie stops the caddie and walks up to the fence and shakes our hands

[@josephsweeney9228]

Love his songs. I sing 4 of them on karaoke.

[@fishhuntadventure]

Is that an alternative to youtube? Or a youtube channel? :)

[@traceystanley3554]

Love your podcast, Dale Jr! You rock as an interviewer

[@malamunford6068]

Great interview. Should do split screen so we can see both at same time. (i.e. The Kenny Conversation)

[@jonathanriddle7699]

Incredible interview Dale, you've gotten really good at doing these!

[@Hansel2448]

Seen him in Pittsburgh a couple years ago. Easily the best show ive been to

[@thegonz7833]

Combs, cool dude. love his music.

[@prescotttirepros1513]

That was amazing...Thank you for this!

[@DirtyMoMedia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@philyyz]

What I great guy. Great songs too. I’m in the uk so country music is pretty much non existent in the radio. But so is NASCAR in the tv. Hmm gonna have to look for a job in North Carolina.

[@beckystewart4423]

I noticed on one of Luke's videos that he is left handed as is Dale Jr. ❤

[@chrisbomboy3206]

Great interview !

[@williamledford6488]

I dig that Vintage Asheville Tourists hat Luke is wearing

[@natedogz7830]

I don’t think Luke is gonna be going back to school. Can you imagine him going to a crime scene being a detective nowadays? Everyone would be going up to him.

[@ttwert21]

Damn it Dale... This was an interview better suited for the studio. Awesome guest this week

[@travislohneis224]

Look at that iracing setup

[@GregorySovine-bt9hj]

Did Jr give us a hint about buying into cup in the last few minutes? Please God...how cool would that be?

[@ChrisHuddleston-52]

Should reach out and interview Scotty McCreary

[@loriwise3177]

I agree!

[@Pollard_jono]

With this car preforming so well on the 1 1/2 mile tracks. Wouldn’t add back tracks like Kentucky be a good move?

[@brandoncreswell]

One of the biggest celebrities yall have had and we get a friggin zoom call. The hell man

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

I guess he’s too famous to come to the studio.

[@davidw654]

Only thing I didn’t like was when he mentioned social media helping him he fails to mention Ryan Upchurch never heard of Luke until he was on a song with upchurch

[@leoman4786]

why would he mention that clown.

[@deliriouswhome1]

​​​​@@leoman4786Because that's what people with integrity do. They shoutout the people that help them get somewhere.. Luke's a great singer, but he sold his soul, in order to be an industry plant, long time ago. Luke's a clown , pushing anti whiteness , and crying over the rebel flag, after his record company forced him to change , who he use to be.. Church might screw up, but he's never turned his back on the people's who's made him famous, for political reasons.

[@leoman4786]

but nobody respects or cares about upskirt. let me take all the work and throw it away over a dbag and a flag… getthefouttahere.

[@marciaholloway6311]

[@Alan-n6u8b]

Learning to play the guitar comes in small successes that push you to keep learning. Once you develop a little pad on your fingertips the notes become more clear and defined and then that drives you. Before you know it playing the guitar comes naturally. There is no one way to learn. Just dedicate a hour a day to learn some basic notes

[@Nashub24]

Does anyone know what that thing that jr has in the background called? It’s electric and it was showing sports scores and holiday stuff, I’d really love to get one

[@mistyessinger]

The ticker?

[@Samweidt]

There's a few out there, but there's a company called Glance that makes them and its probably that. If you're techy, they're pretty easy to make too!

[@jonathanenglish7109]

Glance led sports ticker

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

Racing simulator

[@mistyessinger]

Would love to have seen him stick to his own team. Mainstream always ends up taking more than they give.

[@Mike_Oliver55]

Need a stadium tour with Luke and Eric Church

[@erronflynn8766]

👍🏻

[@Hope_C0re]

Combz owez a heap to Ryan Upchurch ...but he or none of his folk will mention Church ....uno Dale Jr..if u wanna great story ...talk to Church .. trailer park trash to trailer park trash but dam he is a all around great singer rapper rocker etc....✌️

[@roytaylor6519]

I think upchurch made his voice heard? At least that's where i heard him first.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

He was greatly exaggerating how far those strings were off the fretboard on that old guitar. It would be impossible to play chords if the strings were that high.

[@ryankeenan8051]

We need to try and get Eric church on the show

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

But only if he comes to the studio in person, no covid era zoom meetings.

[@iiCoNxNC]

School should be more of learning what u gonna do and not so much learning BS you don’t need in your field !!!!!

[@MikeL-ey4qh]

He was helped by that song with Upchurch and then turned his back on him.

[@deliriouswhome1]

Great singer but not a fan, after turning his back on those that made him famous.. He's became an industry plant ..

[@thegonz7833]

The first time seeing luke on tv or you tube where ever it was, i didnt want to like him, half way through a song I had a different tune.

[@geraldwilson3559]

Remember what Chris Stapleton used to look like? He was bigger than Luke. G.

[@thegonz7833]

Jr. seemed not warmed up to interview. Maybe because its not race stories.

[@donnierackcliff375]

I would like for Dale Jr. Just quit talking and let his guests talk. He interrupts and over talks so much

[@cbrunnem6102]

you're alone in that opinion. he handles these interviews fine

[@PhilJonesin]

Dale Jr. should've asked Luke, "What would you do if you weren't doing this?" Get it? It's a Luke Combs song joke.

[@garytanton6782]

Sell out. Upchurch.
