Rucker’s album, Carolyn’s Boy, will be out later this year. The record includes “Ol’ Church Hymn,” his current single, which is a collaboration with Chapel Hart, whom he became a big fan of after their audition on America’s Got Talent.
“Like so many people, I was blown away when I saw Chapel Hart’s original response to ‘Jolene,’” Rucker said of the song. “I was recording ‘Ol’ Church Hymn’ at the time and instantly had this vision of it becoming a duet once I heard their voices. I’m so thankful they said yes to singing on it with me, and I can’t wait to see the huge career they’re going to have.”
The Starting Fires Tour wraps up on October 14 in Nashville, at Ascend Amphitheater. Tickets will be available to the general public beginning on Friday, March 17. See a complete list of dates below. Find more information at DariusRucker.com.
