What I love abt Luke’s cover is that he didn’t change the rythm at all

[RAMONN]

He kept the integrity of the song and still made it unique to him. I never knew who he was until now. We now have a country masterpiece. An anthem. Their performance at the Grammy was simply magical.

[kevincolon]

Luke once said “it was my favorite song before I even knew what a favorite song was” and that’s perfect

[Miss__Cowgirly]

I love how in Luke’s cover, he didn’t change any of the words and he didn’t add any modern twists or runs to it. He just SANG IT beautifully, respectfully. He has all my respect.

[benniebarrow]

Like Luke’s dad I’m an ‘ol country boy who loved this song when it first came out . I had no idea who she was I just knew the song was touchingly beautiful no matter who you are or where you come from . It speaks to all of us .

[TrillBelichick]

It’s wild because he described where he was when he heard it and now there’s a kid in his dads truck somewhere and Luke Combs’ cover is playing and just like the cycle continues.

Music is a powerful universal language.

You did it justice. Our entire (multi-generational: 6 to 78) family, just ten minutes ago, stood in the kitchen, and viewed your live performance - singing-along together (those who knew the song), and having the younger ones experience some moments that they will remember. We unwrapped and discussed the depth of the lyrics - how the song is still INCREDIBLY-relevant; timeless and true. Thank you.

[irwinvasquez]

I was born in 82. Remember this song very well. It's as beautiful today as it was then. Both versions are amazing.

[barneymiller]

Fast Car is a universal song because it's not about race or gender. It's about poverty. And escaping a bad life situation. Almost every American has family members who understand that. Great song. Great cover. Great voice. Thanks Luke!

[Leann]

You did her proud .. I loved this song very much back in the day and I’m a country girl.

[ckindahizzy]

It’s only a matter of time before Tracy and Luke play this live together and it’s going to be

[GeorgeMakuyana-mzor]

So happy to hear Lukes version of the song. It was always my favorite song as well growing up!!

[___sofia______]

Now he has already met Tracy and even sang with her 😊

[rhondasimms]

I absolutely love Luke Combs version of Fast Car. I'm also a new fan of Tracy Chapman.

What a man to admit this. It's clear that music of any kind can touch any soul at any moment, and that's why sound is one of our great scenses

[gomagoti]

Tracy Chapman's fast car is a religious experience, not a song. You did a respectful cover, for which we thank you.

[teresakelly]

You have excellent taste. It’s a classic, timeless song with a recognisable opening rift. It’s one of my all time favourites and I get emotional every time. I heard it in 1988 and I’m 55! This will never ever get old or forgotten. As for Tracy she the epitome of class, and talent. Was amazing and deserves to be back in the spotlight. ❤

[chrismcgatha]

I had never heard of you until I saw you and Tracy at the Grammys. I can't tell you how many times I have watched it; each time brings tears to my eyes and down my face. Your esteem for her was so evident throughout the performance and touched my heart ❤. Thank you so very much for bringing her back to the stage for all of us to enjoy.

I LOVE Tracy Chapman's music and "Fast Car" is one of my faves of her songs. Luke did a lovely cover. I. like many of the song's fans, would love to see them do a duet of it.

[evanwillard]

Fast Car is and always will be one of my favorite songs, it’s easy for me to sing along to and calms me down.
