Chris
Stapleton’s highly anticipated new album, the 9 track, From A Room: Volume 1 will be released on May 5 on Decca
Records/Mercury Records Nashville, and is now available for pre-order digitally and with physical bundles.
The highly anticipated full-length record is the first new music
from Stapleton since 2015’s breakthrough double Platinum solo debut Traveller and
will be followed by From A Room: Volume
2—coming later this year.
The album takes its name from Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, where it was recorded during the winter of 2016-17. Once again produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb, Volume 1 features eight original songs as well as a rendition of “Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning,” written by Gary P. Nunn and Donna Sioux Farar and made famous by Willie Nelson.
Other highlights include “Second One To Know,” which Stapleton recently premiered at the 52nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards as well as the album’s first single, “Either Way.”

Released to immediate widespread critical acclaim, the album had
one of the best-selling first weeks by a debut country artist in 2015.
Following a historic turn on the 49th Annual CMA Awards—where Stapleton became
the first artist to win Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and New
Artist of the Year at the same awards – Traveller became the first album to
re-enter the Billboard 200 all-genre album chart at No. 1, where it stayed for
two straight weeks. The critically acclaimed album went on to win multiple
Grammy and ACM Awards and was the #1 selling Country album of 2016 and the
fourth-highest selling album of 2016 across all genres. Additionally, in the
past two years, Stapleton has performed on multiple national TV shows including
“Saturday Night Live,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “The Late
Show with Stephen Colbert” and was profiled on “CBS News Sunday Morning.”
Coming off a sold-out Canadian tour last month, Stapleton is currently in the midst of an extensive U.S. tour. “Chris Stapleton’s All-American Road Show” will span throughout 2017 and includes stops at L.A.’s The Forum, Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre and New York’s Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater and will feature Brothers Osborne, Lucie Silvas, Anderson East, Brent Cobb, Margo Price and Marty Stuart as special guests.

Of a recent performance, the Seattle Times declares, “…Stapleton
dazzled the sold-out crowd with a barrage of songs that defy easy
categorization while receiving the kind of deafening cheers reserved for
superstars.”
