That\u2019s why this new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/artists\/luke-combs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Luke Combs<\/a> video is so good. Because it comes from his real life experiences, before he signed his record deal and had such a breakout year in country music.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, you see Combs take the tiny stage, in a tiny dive bar, and assess the tiny crowd. There are maybe ten people there. \u201cThanks to everybody for coming out tonight. It means a lot to us,\u201d he says to the wait staff and a handful of others.<\/p>\n<p>Which is a lot like some of Combs\u2019 earliest gigs in North Carolina. He told me about those shows when we had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1801668\/luke-combs-the-year-end-qa\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a long conversation<\/a> at the end of his game-changing 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never played the honky-tonks up and down Broadway, but I did those same kinds of gigs in North Carolina. And those are definitely the humbling experiences you need to have,\u201d he told me. \u201cAnyone who starts out at some kind of heightened level is missing out. You need to feel that whole thing of how hard it is when you\u2019re playing a room, a bar or a restaurant, there\u2019s about 250 people there, and most of them don\u2019t even want to hear you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey want you to turn it down. That\u2019s brutal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At one such show that Combs played at the 40 Watt in Athens, Georgia, he told me there were only about 80 people there. \u201cI remember the owner telling me not to let it bum me out, and I said, \u2019It didn\u2019t bum me out. This is cool. Now 80 people know who I am.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s why this brand new video is such a masterpiece. Those early shows \u2014 much like trucks, dogs, fish, girls, jobs and football \u2014 can break your heart. But long neck ice cold beer? <em>That<\/em> you can always count on.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
