​Chris Stapleton (from the album Starting Over available on Mercury Nashville Records)
Putting emotion on a personal level, Chris Stapleton presents Starting Over as a DIY guide for 2020 and beyond. From road-tested DNA citing “Hillbilly Blood” as a cause and effect, Chris Stapleton examines life from all sides, circling human extremes in joy and in struggles. Dave Cobb returns to helm Starting Over, producing the album and arranging the instrumentation to accent and support the powerhouse vocal of Chris Stapleton. The title track begins the song cycle for Starting Over, shaggy strums laying out a shuffle for Chris Stapleton to enter the album on a leaving song. Using forty years as a milestone “When I’m with You” sees a man shake off the weight of decades to sing a love song as “Whiskey Sunrise” faces off with a morning mirror and admits to manageable medications as trouble walks into the room on “Devil Always Made Me Think Twice”.
 
It is a rare breed of musician that can follow their own muse while managing to be a musical chameleon, the melodies becoming all things for all listeners. Starting Over continues to deliver the Chris Stapleton brand to multiple formats that each consider the man and his music their own. Penning a goodbye love letter, Chris Stapleton addresses bittersweet thanks to “Nashville, TN”. As a tender of flames, Chris Stapleton targets his anger on a Las Vegas gunman in “Watch You Burn” and cools the ashes of a forbidden fire in “You Should Probably Leave” while Chris and the band leave a mark on the highway from the guitar electricity flashing on a ride through “Arkansas”. If his stature and overall presence aren’t enough to make you pay attention to the advice from Chris Stapleton, consider the man is seldom wrong as he takes Starting Over out with a public service announcement. He is not selling snake oil when Chris Stapleton suggests a remedy for ‘preachers preachin’, politicians, bitchin’’ as he fires up a hit of “Worry Be Gone”.
