Chris Stapleton to release new album in November

On Monday (8-24), those horny for new Chris Stapleton music got their worlds rocked when the Kentucky singer and songwriter wiped his social media feeds clean and posted a teaser video complete with fire, loud guitar riffs, foreboding backup choruses, horses running free, and insects eating each other. Very clearly, this is all rich symbolism for the post-apocalyptic landscape we’ll be living in when November 13th rolls around that Chris Stapleton looks to soundtrack with what will likely be his fourth solo album, possibly to be titled (and appropriately so), Starting Over.

Chris Stapleton sent a tweet out Tuesday afternoon (8/25) saying there would be a new song at noon on Thursday (8/27).

Chris Stapleton debuted a new song live called “Starting Over” first in October of 2019, and played it off and on before the pandemic. The words “Starting Over” also appear in his profile picture on Twitter at the moment, but that may just be the name of the first single, not the album. Also from the teaser video, it appears Stapleton is recording in Studio ‘A’ in Nashville once again, which means Dave Cobb is likely involved, who you might see in the bottom right of the shot at the 10-second frame (see below).

“Starting Over” joins a host of other new songs Stapleton has been playing live over the last year or two, including one called “Minimum Wage” with a blues attitude and meaty groove that was co-written with Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fame. Another one is called “Bad Side of The Blood” about being the black sheep of the family, and features more of the country soul style of Stapleton. A couple of other new ones are lurking out there as well, and amateur video of all these songs are floating out there if you want to take a peek.
