@dailyblastlive: ‘Music is Music & Just Go Listen to People Who Don’t Look Just Like You’ — Last night history was made at the Country Music Awards in Nashville. Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s song ‘Fast Car’ won a few awards last night, 35 years after the song originally debuted in 1988. It took home Single of the Year. Tracy Chapman won the award for Song of the Year, becoming the first Black woman to win a country music award. But some people are commenting that as a Black woman, Tracy would have almost zero chance of that sort of achievement in country music on her own. DBL’s AL Jackson shares his take. #countrymusic #lukecombs #tracychapman #fastcar #cma #cmaawards #awardshow

His cover of “Fast Car” brought Chapman’s original version into the light for a few new generations. Chapman had to approve of him singing it.

Controversy? I think we need to stop making up these petty news and let the new generation enjoy great music from the past, some prefer to ruin it 😡

If I remember correctly that song was massive back then. Why is he acting like it was ignored

I don’t understand what he is saying. She was recognized for that song many years ago and last night as well.

I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about and he’s downplaying her success as a female vocalist. She’s globally recognized for her talent.

he needs to do his research, she won best new artist for this song. Luke Combs bought such a monumental song from 35 yrs ago to light for this gen.

😂 You couldn't be any more wrong than that , Jack . I was a 25 year old white man at the time and wore that cassette out. Everyone loved that song, then

This is a bad take. This song was huge when it came out in the previous century

His argument made no sense. Fast car was instantly iconic and won tons of accolades for Tracy.

I wonder if it isn’t a hit -again- today because so many people feel trapped and the song resonates more than ever. It’s a haunting song.

Didn’t everyone know fast car before Luke Combs covered it? 😂 I’m pretty sure the reason Luke Combs version did so well was because people were shocked it was actually just as good as the original

absolutely loved her song when she recorded it. One of my favorite songs ever... I so wanted more from her, and I was a young white child.
