Darius Rucker has announced that "Ol' Church Hymn," a new single with rising trio Chapel Hart, is set for release on September 30.
The song comes on the heels of another collaboration from Rucker and the trio, who joined forces for a performance of Bonnie Raitt's "Something to Talk About" during last week's "America's Got Talent" season finale on NBC.
"Ol' Church Hymn" is available for pre-order at https://strm.to/OlChurchHymnPR Written by Rucker together with Ben Hayslip, Josh Miller and Greylan James, the gospel-inspired love song features Rucker's rich baritone vocals, joined by the three-part harmony of Chapel Hart to profess a born-again love in the joyful chorus.
"Like so many people, I was blown away when I saw Chapel Hart's original response to 'Jolene,'" notes Rucker. "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." "He really took a chance on us… He saw some of our stuff online and he was like 'I love what you ladies are doing. I have an idea and I want to hear you guys on this song,'" Chapel Hart's Devynn Hart shared recently. Meanwhile, the multi-platinum star is putting the finishing touches on a forthcoming album.
The new duet will be featured on the album - his first solo project since 2017's critically acclaimed When Was the Last Time.
Fans can also see Rucker perform live at the inaugural Riverfront Revival festival to his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, on October 8 and 9, with Brothers Osborne, SUSTO, Jimmie Allen, Charley Crockett and more joining him on the lineup. Limited tickets remain available for purchase at RiverfrontRevival.com.
