Traveller

Traveller is Chris Stapleton's 2015 debut solo album, produced by Dave Cobb, that blends country, Americana, blues and Southern soul. The record emphasizes Stapleton's raw, gritty vocals and songwriting over sparse, roots-oriented arrangements featuring acoustic and electric guitar, pedal steel and harmonies, moving between slow, soulful ballads and more blues-inflected, gritty numbers. Its traditionalist approach and focus on voice and craft marked Stapleton's emergence as a prominent solo artist within contemporary country and Americana circles.
