Chris Stapleton won Album of the Year at last night’s 56th ACM Awards for his critically acclaimed new record, Starting Over. Stapleton also performed his new song, “Maggie’s Song,” during the live awards broadcast with special guest Miranda Lambert. Watch HERE.
The accolade adds to yet another monumental year for
Stapleton, who will return to the stage this summer with his extensive “All-American
Road Show,” includingnewly confirmed stops at Detroit’s DTE Energy
Music Theatre, Atlanta’s Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood and Houston’s Cynthia
Woods Mitchell Pavilion among many others. Stapleton will be joined by several
special guests throughout the run including (in
alphabetical order) The Dirty Knobs with Mike Campbell, Sheryl Crow, Caylee Hammack, The Highwomen, Jamey Johnson,
Elle King, Nikki Lane, The Marcus King Band, Kendell Marvel, Wille Nelson and
Family, Margo Price, Mavis Staples, Dwight Yoakam and Yola.
Additional tour highlights include headline shows at Washington
State’s Gorge Amphitheatre, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, New York’s Madison
Square Garden and “A Concert for Kentucky”—a special performance to be
held at University of Kentucky’s Kroger Field on April 23, 2022. The concert is
the first ever held at UK’s Kroger Field and will feature very special
guests Willie Nelson and Family, Sheryl Crow and Yola. 100%
of the concert’s net proceeds will benefit Stapleton’s newly created Outlaw State of Kind Hometown Fund.
Established in partnership with the Blue Grass Community Foundation, the fund
will specifically support local and national organizations directly impacting
Kentucky, with initial grant distributions focusing on music and arts education.

The performances celebrate the release of Starting Over,
which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart this past
November. Moreover, the album’s title track recently reached #1 at country
radio’s Mediabase Chart, only Stapleton’s second chart-topping single as an
artist following 2018’s “Broken Halos.” Released this past fall on Mercury
Records Nashville (stream/purchase here), Starting Over
is an album of startling prescience, featuring fourteen tracks that examine life’s simplest joys
and most serious struggles. Once
again produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb, the record landed
on several “Best of 2020” lists including NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard,
Esquire, Vulture, The Tennessean and The New York Times,
who declares,
“Chris Stapleton’s roar isn’t designed to scare you off. It’s regal, an
announcement of an alpha figure asserting his primacy…on this, his fourth
album, the thrill is back.”
Recent critical acclaim for Starting Over:
“Chris Stapleton may have the album of the year with Starting
Over”—American
Songwriter
“a sure-footed masterpiece…one of the
year’s finest albums”—Associated Press
“Simply put, there are
few recording artists in country operating at Stapleton’s level, and Starting
Over keeps the bar very high.”
—Billboard
“a dynamite and dynamic new album from the mighty-voiced
Kentucky native…the
singer-songwriter is hitting new heights, nailing the crossroads of country,
rock, gospel, and pop across 14 tracks.”—Entertainment Weekly
“14 rich,
intricately-wound odes to tiny admissions and big emotions”—Esquire
“mixes beautifully stark songwriting with blues, country, and
rock melodies, allowing Stapleton’s sturdy, propulsive vocals to carry the
show”—GQ
“vividly exemplifies the complex emotional character of
Stapleton’s best music. He’s burly but soft. Tough yet vulnerable. A protector
of his loved ones and a man in perpetual search of shelter.”—Los Angeles
Times
“Chris is at the top of his game with this record. It sounds
like a record from a great.”
—NPR Music
“Starting Over may be Stapleton’s best album
yet…every song on the album comes as a perfectly wrapped gift to the listener”—No
Depression
“Regardless
of where he’s going lyrically, Stapleton brings to each successive tune a
rugged assuredness and a steely resolve: There’s never any doubt that he means
what he says”—Relix
“The
chill Nashville trailblazer feels at home in songs that echo his pop
songwriting and his
country roots.”—Rolling Stone
“if Starting Over
offers a statement of principles, it’s that Stapleton is going to make
Stapleton music, equal parts country, Southern rock, raw sentimentality, and
self-reflective singer-songwriter-ism.”—Slate
“It is easily one of the best records I’ve heard this year. It’s
easily one of the best country records I’ve heard in a long time. And I have no
doubt it’s going to be one of the best country records I’ve heard this decade
once everything is said and done.”—The Needle Drop
“lands precisely
where country meets Southern soul: with grit, details, clarity and ache.”
—The New York Times
“the results are
stunning…his
most personal work yet.”—The Ringer
“expands a sonic identity and storytelling fervor that
Stapleton established on his paramount debut, Traveller, and its two-part follow-up, From A Room Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.”—The Tennessean
“He has [Willie] Nelson’s tender touch, but his bluesy side is
much louder; his is a part-acoustic, part-stinging approach in which Nelson’s
Trigger meets B.B. King’s Lucille.”—Variety
“It’s every bit the tour de force his breakthrough
album was…Elegant writing and delicate musicianship combine in an album ranking
among the year’s best.”—Vulture
Kentucky-born Stapleton is
a 5x Grammy, 10x CMA and 9x ACM Award-winner and one of the country’s most
respected and beloved musicians. Following 2015’s quadruple platinum
breakthrough solo debut album Traveller, Stapleton released
two #1 albums in 2017. Both From A Room: Volume 1 (certified
platinum) and From A Room: Volume 2 (certified gold) take
their name from legendary RCA Studio A, where they were recorded with Cobb.
Released to overwhelming critical acclaim, The Tennessean praises,
“Both are rich with the textures of Stapleton’s
vocals that make him one of country music’s most beloved artists, classic
country sounds and thoughtful articulate lyrics about love, life and pain.” He
was also recently announced as the first-ever “Artist-Songwriter of the Decade”
recipient by the Academy of Country Music.
