Country Chapel, which also includes a cover of Kris Kristofferson’s “Why Me,” comes a little more than two years after Set in Stone, Tritt’s last album, was released in 2021. Tritt has spent the last three decades making music, with his debut Country Club album out in 1990. It’s a massively successful story, which began when Tritt was working as a manager of a heating and air company, when he became inspired to focus on music instead.

“I saw a guy up on a little small stage over in the corner, with just him and a guitar,” Tritt recalled on Fox News. “And I think he had like a little drum machine. And that was it. And I sat and watched this guy, and he was pretty good. I sat and watched him for about two hours. And I thought to myself the whole time, I could do that job. I could do that. I could do that. I could do that as good as he can, maybe even better.”

Pre-order of Country Chapel is available beginning on Friday, July 21. The first track from the project, “When God Dips His Love in My Heart” will be available that day, with “Like the Father Loves the Son” available on August 18, and “Nobody’s Fault But Mine” available on September 15.
