Background

edit

The tour was first announced in September 2022.[1] Due to overwhelming ticket demand, Combs added second shows in select cities.[2]

Critical reception

edit

Courtney Dabney of Paper City, who attend the opening night in Arlington, Texas, said the show was great but thought the concert could have been better if it took place at a venue with better acoustics.[3]

Betsy Reed of The Guardian gave the Glasglow show two out of five stars stating, "Ironically, despite Combs' down-home appeal, his show is too slick to elevate the material beyond the middle of the road. Combs' stylized country vocals seem effortlessly strong and his band are tight and precise, but there's some crucial alchemy missing."[4]
