The outlet added, “A video of another Oklahoman — late country giant Toby Keith — has been released. In it, Keith pairs with Grammy-winning country superstar Luke Combs for an in-studio recording session of the ‘DIFFTAPE’ version of Diffie’s 1992 hit ‘Ships That Don’t Come In.'”

It Was Especially Meaningful To Combs
Luke Combs’ statement about the project via The Tennessean reads in part, “I grew up listening to both of those guys’ [Joe Diffie’s and Toby Keith’s] music, so to be a part of this version of the song and it now be Toby’s last recording is kind of hard to put into words.
