Andrew Combs' Debut Album 'Worried Man' Gets Deluxe Reissue

With the deluxe reissue of Andrew Combs' debut album Worried Man, the Texas-bred, Nashville based artist has been given that rare opportunity; a do-over. The deluxe version of Worried Man (reissued via New West Records and Loose Records in the UK/EU) will include two songs from the album Andrew has re-recorded for the release.

The first of those tracks, "Too Stoned To Cry (2019 Recut)", was released today on all digital services.

"Too Stoned", which Combs has continued to perform live, has never felt exactly right to him in its original recording.

"I've always wanted to re-record 'Too Stoned to Cry,'" said Combs of the track. "I love the song, but can't stand my vocal take on the original. I sound so young and pitchy! This is just an updated version, somewhat replicating how we play it every night on the road."

Combs also took on "Take It From Me" and reworked the track for the deluxe reissue. Recounts Combs, "I've always liked the sentiment of the song, but the original musical arrangement now bores me a little bit. We decided change it up a bit, going for a glossy, Chris Isaak kind of feel."

Focusing on the present, Combs will undertake his most extensive European tour to date, with shows throughout the UK, Germany and Scandinavia starting this week and continuing into early February. Andrew then returns to the US for dates, pairing on co-bills with Erin Rae, then Caitlin Rose and ending the run of dates with a performance at the Savannah Stopover Music Festival on March 7th.

A deluxe re-release of Andrew's second album All These Dreams is forthcoming. And in the midst of all this activity, Combs has also found time to write and record songs for the follow-up to last year's 5 Covers & A Song EP, tentatively scheduled for release later this year.
