After teasing a new era with fans on social media this week, Chris Stapleton has officially announced that his new album, Starting Over, will arrive on Nov. 13, a date he had previously teased on Instagram. The album is Stapleton’s first since 2017’s From a Room: Volume 2 and was recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, with additional work completed at Muscle Shoals Sound and Compass Sound Studio. Like Stapleton’s From a Room albums, Starting Over was produced by Dave Cobb, who also played acoustic guitar.
Stapleton’s wife, Morgane, provided vocals and tambourine to the project, and his longtime bandmates J.T. Cure (bass) and Derek Mixon (drums) are all featured as well as special guests include musicians Mike Campbell (electric guitar), Benmont Tench (Hammond B3 organ) and Paul Franklin (pedal steel). The All Voices Choir are featured on “Watch You Burn.” Starting Over includes 11 songs co-written by Stapleton as well as three covers — Guy Clark’s “Worry B Gone” and “Old Friends” and John Fogerty’s “Joy Of My Life.” Stapleton also released the project’s first single and its title track on Thursday.
