Accompanied primarily by an acoustic guitar, harmony vocals, and a hint of percussion, Chris Stapleton is scaling things back with his brand new single, “Starting Over.” He co-wrote the sentimental song with Mike Henderson, his former bandmate in the bluegrass band, The SteelDrivers.
The single also serves as the title track to his upcoming album, set for a November 13 release on Mercury Nashville. Stapleton completed sessions for the album in Studio A in Nashville in late February, just before national shutdowns began. Produced by Dave Cobb, the collection includes 11 Stapleton originals as well as three covers: John Fogerty’s “Joy of My Life” and Guy Clark’s “Worry B Gone” and “Old Friends.”
The record features his beloved wife, Morgane Stapleton (vocals, tambourine), with longtime bandmates J.T. Cure (bass) and Derek Mixon (drums). Special guests include legendary musicians Mike Campbell (electric guitar), Benmont Tench (Hammond B3 organ) and Paul Franklin (pedal steel) as well as the All Voices Choir who are featured on “Watch You Burn,” written by Stapleton and Campbell.
