By the Numbers
From A Room: Volume 2 mirrors its companion's authorship shape: Chris Stapleton co-wrote most tracks with collaborators like Mike Henderson and Kendell Marvel, bracketed by two covers, 'Millionaire' and the Stax soul song 'Friendship.' The covers stand out as the only non-Stapleton writing on a record otherwise built from his close-knit Nashville partnerships.
From A Room: Volume 2 is the third solo studio album by Chris Stapleton, released in December 2017 as the companion to Volume 1, drawn from the same RCA Studio A sessions. Equally lean and traditional, it leans further into Southern soul on the closing cover 'Friendship,' a Stax Records song, while reviving 'Midnight Train to Memphis' from his SteelDrivers days. Stapleton co-wrote most of the album with collaborators including Mike Henderson and Kendell Marvel, framed by two covers in 'Millionaire' and 'Friendship.' The album reached the top of the country chart and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album. Certified platinum, it completed an ambitious two-volume statement at the height of his acclaim.
