Chris Stapleton’s From A Room: Volume 2 to be Released December 1
Available for Pre-Order Now
Nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the 51st Annual CMA Awards
16 October 2017 (Toronto, ON) - Chris Stapleton’s From A Room: Volume 2 will be released December 1 via Mercury Records Nashville/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company, and is now available to pre-order. The multiple Grammy, CMA, and ACM Award-winning musician first shared the album news from the stage during the first of two sold-out shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena this past Friday. Of the special hometown concerts, CMT praised, “… [Stapleton] cemented his status as one of music’s greatest talents to emerge from the current decade.”
The forthcoming album takes its name from Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A (the capital “A” in From A Room) where it was recorded over the last year with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb. Along with Stapleton on vocals and guitar and Cobb on acoustic guitar, the album features Morgane Stapleton on harmony vocals as well as longtime band-members J.T. Cure on bass and Derek Mixon on drums. In addition to seven songs co-written by Stapleton, the album features versions of Kevin Welch’s “Millionaire” and the Homer Banks/Lester Snell-penned song made famous by Pops Staples, “Friendship”.
Volume 2 follows the release of From A Room: Volume 1, which debuted earlier this year at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart, #2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and, with its RIAA Gold certification, remains the #1 best-selling country album of 2017. The critically acclaimed album, which Rolling Stone awarded four stars declaring, “From A Room is strikingly focused, sonically and thematically”, was recently nominated for Album of the Year at the 51st annual CMA Awards. Stapleton is also nominated for Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year at the upcoming award show. Stapleton’s 2015 double platinum solo debut, Traveller, is currently the #2 best-selling country album of the year.
Stapleton will soon wrap up his extensive and widely praised All-American Road Show tour. In addition to the remaining tour dates, Stapleton will perform as part of the “All In For The Gambler: Kenny Rogers Farewell Concert” on October 25 and will join fellow country performers for the “COUNTRY RISING” benefit concert on November 12. Stapleton will also make his debut on PBS’ legendary “Austin City Limits” program later this month. The taping will be streamed live via ACL’s YouTube channel on Monday, October 23 at 8pm CT/9pm ET with the broadcast version airing on PBS early next year as part of Season 43.
