In this episode I sit down with "Rowdy" Rob Williford. Rob played guitar and wrote hits with Luke Combs since Luke got his start just up until last December when he retired to focus more on songwriting and his own project. We are going to dive into life on the road with Luke and talk about the stories behind the massive hits Rob wrote for Luke like "One Number Away," "Doin This," and "Nothin But You." So far Rob has written 8 songs that have been recorded by Luke Combs along with other incredible songs recorded by Wheeler Walker Jr. and Kameron Marlowe. Rob has also been nominated and won several awards: 2018 ASCAP Song of the Year for "One Number Away", 2019 ACM Song of the Year Nominee for "Beautiful Crazy", 2019 CMA Song of the Year Winner for "Beautiful Crazy", 2020 NSAI Multiplatinum Songwriter Award, 2021 Grammy Nomination (Best Country Solo Performance) for "Forever After All", 2021 CMA Song of the Year Nominee for "Forever After All", 2022 Music Row Song of the Year Nominee for "Doin' This" and his recent Grammy nomination for Best Country Song "Doin' This." He also has just recently put out his own project titled "WILDCARD" that he co-produced with Kyle Cook from Matchbox 20 and recorded at the famous Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL. If you haven't heard that album, go listen today! It's so good and Rob put so much effort into it. We are going to talk about all of this on this episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did listening to his stories behind the songs.
