Luke Combs Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

A Luke Combs quiz turns on one sneaky question: is this track actually his? Guess the Luke Combs song from the originals he did write, 'Hurricane', 'Beautiful Crazy', 'When It Rains It Pours' and 'Beer Never Broke My Heart', then test your trivia on the cover trap, since 'Fast Car' belongs to Tracy Chapman's 1988 original that swept the CMAs and 'Cover Me Up' to Jason Isbell's album 'Southeastern'. See how well you really know Luke Combs by sorting his hits from the songs he only made his own.

Guess the Luke Combs Song

Combs opens most of his hits on one voice and an acoustic strum, so 'Hurricane' and 'Beer Never Broke My Heart' land from the first bar. The catch comes when a 'Fast Car' turns out to be a cover, not a Combs original.

Luke Combs Trivia: The Facts Behind the Hits

The facts behind the songs are where a tie breaks: a cover that won its 1988 writer a CMA award, a ballad written for his wife, and a debut run of five straight country No. 1s that no artist had matched.

✦When Combs's cover of 'Fast Car' won big at the 2023 CMAs, its original writer Tracy Chapman became the first Black songwriter to win CMA Song of the Year, 35 years after her 1988 version.

✦'Cover Me Up', one of the most-requested songs at his shows, is not a Combs original either; it was written by Jason Isbell and released on Isbell's 2013 album 'Southeastern'.

✦'Beautiful Crazy' was written by Combs about his now-wife Nicole, and it spent seven weeks atop country radio, a favorite 'name that ballad' cue.

✦His first five career singles all reached No. 1 on the US country airplay chart, a run of debut chart-toppers no artist had managed before.

✦He left Appalachian State University in North Carolina before finishing his degree to move to Nashville and chase music.

How Well Do You Know Luke Combs's Catalog?

Combs's catalog stacks up in tiers. Start with the radio anthems anyone can name, then face the cover trap, split the ballads from the barroom bangers, and find which deep album cut finally stops you.

The radio anthems (where casual fans score)

If you know Luke Combs from country radio, this is where you rack up points. 'Hurricane', 'When It Rains It Pours', 'Beer Never Broke My Heart' and 'Beautiful Crazy' are the songs most players name from the first line, so they are the easy start of any Luke Combs quiz.

The cover trap (his song or someone else's?)

Here is where casual fans slip. Combs's version of 'Fast Car' is a faithful cover of Tracy Chapman's 1988 original, and 'Cover Me Up' was written by Jason Isbell, yet both are treated like Combs songs at his shows. The quiz question is simple and cruel: did he write it, or just make it his own?

The ballads against the barroom (two sides of one voice)

That big baritone works two very different rooms. On 'Beautiful Crazy' and 'Forever After All' it carries a tender ballad; on 'Beer Never Broke My Heart' and '1, 2 Many' it fronts a rowdy tailgate anthem. Telling the tearjerker from the barroom song is a clean mid-round test.

The album deep cuts (where superfans pull ahead)

Superfans pull ahead on the album tracks that never hit radio. Cuts like 'Reasons', 'Cold as You', 'Dear Today' and 'Blue Collar Boys', spread across 'This One's for You', 'What You See Is What You Get' and 'Gettin' Old', are where a perfect Luke Combs score is won or lost.
