By: Caryn Robbins Oct. 20, 2017
Chris Stapleton's "Millionaire" is available today (listen HERE, purchase HERE). Written by Kevin Welch, the song is the first material unveiled from Stapleton's anticipated new album, From A Room: Volume 2, which will be released December 1 on Mercury Records Nashville and is now available to pre-order digitally and with exclusive limited-edition bundles.
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 "Millionaire," the album features seven songs co-written by Stapleton as well as the Homer Banks/Lester Snell-penned song made famous by Pops Staples, "Friendship" See below for complete track list.
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. Stapleton's 2015 double-platinum solo debut, Traveller, is currently the #2 best-selling country album of the year.
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.
