Luke Combs is whipping up masterpiece, HARDY has strong thoughts about fatherhood | Music City Minute

Buckle up – Luke Combs is coming in hot with new music! This week, Combs surprised fans with an appetizer of sorts; a three-song collection called “The Prequel.” The “Hurricane” singer is so jazzed about his forthcoming full-length album, he is willing to let fans sample the main course before the official release next year. Combs admits this is the best he has ever felt about a new project and it just might be the best album he has ever recorded.
When it comes to being a first-time dad, HARDY has not shied away from expressing his true feelings. While many new parents might feel underprepared and overwhelmed, the “REDNECKER,” singer is over here practically bragging about how easy it has been raising his six-month-old daughter, Rosie, confidently calling her a content, happy baby who is good at self soothing. In all honesty, it is beautiful and inspiring to hear the country-rocker and his wife, Caleigh, genuinely enjoying this era of Rosie’s life, because all that peace and tranquility will be shattered when their daughter turns three.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
