Review

Chris Stapleton’s "Starting Over," released on November 13, 2020, by Mercury Nashville, is a lush landscape where the crossroads of country, blues, and soul coalesce. Featuring 14 evocative tracks produced alongside Dave Cobb, the album shines with contributions from brilliant songwriters like John Fogerty, Mike Campbell, and Guy Clark. The reactionary spirit and in-the-moment songwriting set a distinct tone that diverges from Stapleton’s earlier works, winning it the Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the 64th Grammy Awards.

The title track, "Starting Over," serves as a beacon of hope and renewal, where Stapleton's soulful voice and bluesy guitar wrap around the listener like a comforting yet invigorating breeze. This album is a treasure trove of introspective storytelling, with themes of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of a better life resonating deeply in each note and lyric. "Starting Over" is a testament to Stapleton's prowess as a singer-songwriter, firmly planting his music both in the earth's raw reality and the dreams that flutter just above it. - Zoey
