Chris Stapleton has announced a new album, Higher, due November 10 via Mercury Nashville (pre-order). The album was produced by Dave Cobb, Morgane Stapleton, and Chris, and Dave and Morgane also played on it, alongisde J.T. Cure (bass), Paul Franklin (pedal steel), Derek Mixon (drums), and Lee Pardini (organ, piano).
The first single is “White Horse,” which Chris co-wrote with Dan Wilson, and it’s a hard-edged, riffy Southern rocker that finds Chris really howling on the chorus. It’s one of the most jaw-dropping singles yet from an artist who rarely if ever misses. Check it out below.
Chris’ upcoming tour includes a NYC-area show on October 7 at UBS Arena with Margo Price and Nikki Lane. All dates are listed below.
