Darius Rucker Pays Tribute to His Gospel Roots with "Ol' Church Hymn"
Multi-Platinum country music superstar Darius Rucker pays tribute to his Gospel roots with his new single "Ol' Church Hymn," featuring rising trio Chapel Hart, which is set for release Friday, Sept. 30. Written by Rucker together with Ben Hayslip, Josh Miller and Greylan James, the gospel-inspired love song features Rucker's rich baritone vocals, praised by Billboard as "one of the most distinctive voices of country's modern era," joined by the three-part harmony of Chapel Hart to profess a born-again love in the joyful chorus:
You soothe my soul like an ol' church hymn
Found in a book in the back of a pew
Born again love I'm a new person
Hand in the air hallelujah
Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen
You soothe my soul like an ol' church hymn
"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.
The new duet will be featured on Rucker's forthcoming album - his first solo project since 2017's critically acclaimed When Was the Last Time. Fans can also see Rucker perform live as he brings the inaugural Riverfront Revival festival to his hometown of Charleston, S.C. 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.
