Country staple Chris Stapleton has announced a new album is on its way this fall. Starting Over, Stapleton’s fourth full-length LP is set to be released November 13 via Mercury Records and is the follow up to his 2-volume record From The Room, with the second volume being released in 2017. Stapleton and Mike Henderson co-write the 14 track album, with three of the tracks being covers ofJohn Fogerty’s “Joy Of My Life” and Guy Clark’s “Worry B Gone” and “Old Friends.” The album was recorded in Nashville’s own RCA Studio and features collaborations with Dave Cobb, Benmont Tench, Mike Campbell, the All Voices Choir and his wife Morgane Stapleton. Fans can pre-order the album via Stapleton’s website.
Stapleton has also released the album’s title track. With beautiful acoustic guitar strings, the song talks about man urging his lover to take a risk with him through the good and bad times of the relationship. Check out the love tune below.
Like many others, he also had to postpone his much-anticipated summer 2020 tour to summer 2021. Now dubbed the 2021 All-American Roadshow, the tour is still set to include many guests including Willie Nelson & Family, Margo Price, Hank Williams Jr., The Highwomen, Dwight Yoakam, Elle King, Kendell Marvel, Nikki Lane and Sheryl Crow to name few. The tour will now kick off November 21, 2020 in Arlington, TX and will visit arena and amphitheaters across North America, with the leg concluding November 12, 2021 in Orlando, FL. Ticketholders for the originally scheduled dates will be honored for the new ones. Stapleton was also set to appear at the Foo Fighters curated festival DC Jam, alongside The Go-Gos, Pharrell Williams, Band of Horses Durand Jones & The Indication as well as Houston Rodeo, which also included performances from Lizzo, Chance the Rapper, Marshmello and Brad Paisley.
