Luke Combs' powerful new single has arrived.
Combs, who is getting his own exhibit in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum this summer, unleashed the debut Twisters single, “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” with an accompanying music video on Thursday (May 16). The video Alex Bittan-directed video features a cameo from NASCAR race driver John Hunter Nemechek, interspersed with snippets of footage from the upcoming Twisters movie. The music video was filmed in Nashville, Tennessee.
“I keep chasin’ that same old devil down the same old dead end highway/ Ridin’ that storm runnin’ through my veins like a shot down tail spun airplane/ Scared of nothin’ and I’m scared to death/ I can’t breathe then I catch my breath/ But I keep chasin’ that same old devil down the same old dead end highway
“Ain’t no love in Oklahoma/ Just the whistle of a long black train/ You’ll know when it’s comin’ for ya/ Ridin’ in on the wind and rain”
The most-nominated artist at the upcoming ACM Awards posted a sneak peek of the Twisters single on his social media pages last week. “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” is one of many tracks to appear on the star-studded Twisters album, which also includes Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Megan Moroney, Kane Brown, Bailey Zimmerman, Thomas Rhett, Shania Twain, Tyler Childers, Conner Smith, Flatland Cavalry, Tanner Adell, Alexandra Kay, Charley Crockett and many others.
The Lee Isaac Chung-directed film will serve as “an update to the 1996 film 'Twister', which centered on a pair of storm chasers who risk their lives in an attempt to test an experimental weather alert system,” rads its description on IMDb. The movie stars Glen Powell, Katy O’Brian and Daisy Edgar-Jones, among others. Twisters — and the album — will arrive on July 19.
Combs is in the midst of his “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour,” which includes Cody Jinks, The Avett Brothers, Charles Wesley Godwin, Hailey Whitters, The Wilder Blue, Jordan Davis, Mitchell Tenpenny, Drew Parker and Colby Acuff.
