Before Stapleton became a household name after his show-stopping CMA performance with Justin Timberlake, he spent years as one of Nashville’s most sought-after songwriters, penning cuts for Kenny Chesney, George Strait, and Adele. Traveller was the debut that finally put his own voice front and center, a voice that draws as much from Muscle Shoals soul and the blues as it does from country tradition.

Recorded at Nashvilles historic RCA Studio A (with additional production at The Castle and Blackbird Studio), Traveller was produced by Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) and recorded by Vance Powell (Jack White). In addition to renditions of Dean Dillon and Linda Hargroves Tennessee Whiskey and Don Sampsons Was It 26, the album features twelve original songs, including fan-favorite Sometimes I Cry.
