A collection of 12 poignant tracks, Fathers & Sons was recorded entirely live and features Combs most personal songwriting to date, as he reflects on his own experiences being a dad to his two sons and the unique bond between parents and their children. Reflecting on "The Man He Sees In Me," Combs shares a message he wrote to his young sons, "To my boys, first and foremost, I will always love you, no matter what. With this song I want you to know that even though Im not perfect, I try my hardest every day to be the best version of myself for you both. Ill make mistakes along the way and some days youll be sick of your old man, Im sure, but, dang, well have some fun too. I cant wait to see what you both turn out to be like and I hope someday down the road, I get to watch you and your kids do the same. Love, Dad." In addition to Combs, Fathers & Sons also features acclaimed musicians Jim "Moose" Brown (keys), Sam Bush (mandolin), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Mark Hill (bass), Josh Hunt (drums), Joey Landreth (electric guitar), Steve Mackey (bass), Josh Matheny (dobro), Jerry Roe (drums), Jonathan Singleton (acoustic guitar), Bryan Sutton (acoustic guitar) and Charlie Worsham (acoustic guitar).
