Joe Combs Who Sang Backings for Alan Jackson Releases His Solo Single "Runaway Train"

Joe Combs who has recently sang backing vocals for Billboard's 2014 Christian Album of The Year, Precious Memories Volume II by Alan Jackson, is set to release his debut single "Runaway Train."  It was written by industry heavyweights Barry Weeks, Ian Eskelin and Tony Wood, who between them have written scores of No. 1 songs and possess an impressive collection of Grammy and Dove Awards. Barry Weeks (Kelly Clarkson, Crabb Family, Brian Littrell) also produced the single.

Combs, a native of Gainesville, Fla., grew up traveling with his parents, who had a music ministry. After a period of time as a teen and in his early 20s when he struggled with addiction, Combs rededicated his life to Christ. He then attended and graduated from Ingram Ministries International in Daytona Beach, Fla. After receiving a degree in music and ministry, Combs worked alongside his father in leading worship at his home church. He also began traveling with his own Christian music ministry. Combs, who currently lives in Nashville, Tenn., is now a full-time solo artist who lives by Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

"I truly believe I am living proof that if God can us me," Combs says, "a once broken, lost and misguided young man, He can use anyone."

Other accomplishments by Combs include working and performing with Point of Grace, The Crabb Family, Aaron Shust, Brian White, The Stamps Quartet, and others. He has performed at The Grand Ole Opry, Daystar TV, and has toured the US, Canada, and Ireland.
