Our track-by-track guide to Luke Combs’ new album ‘What You See Is What You Get’
Combs has been tossing this deep cut into his solo sets since as early as 2016, mixing a simple four-chord pattern — perhaps the most commonly used progression in all of country music — with lyrics about the photographs, recipes, and family ephemera that cover his parents’ ice box. It’s familiar-sounding stuff, but Combs works well in oft-trodden territory, remaking the go-to tropes of his genre to fit his own approach.
A close cousin to “Reasons,” “Every Little Bit Helps” finds a heartbroken Combs washing away the memory of an ex with a trip to the dive bar. Like the previous song, it’s bright and buoyant, contrasting the songwriter’s downcast lyrics with syncopated stabs of percussion and electric guitar — just listen to the “Step! By! Step!” moment in the chorus — and a tangle of shred-worthy solos during the song’s final stretch.Combs straps on an acoustic guitar and sings a song to his past self.
