Chris Stapleton is poised to take over the top spot on the country charts with his latest single, “White Horse.” He co-wrote the song with Dan Wilson nearly 12 years ago when they were tasked to write a song for potential placement in the 2013 Lone Ranger movie (which starred Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer), and while it didn’t make the movie soundtrack, it is featured prominently on Chris’ latest album, Higher.

“It’s really a song born out of almost writing on a mission for something else that never really happened for that. I really like the song, so I like to play it. It’s fun,” says Chris. “It has kind of scene changes in it musically, and my favorite lyric is ‘my mind is like a cloud of dust.’ I think that it’s probably the thing in the song that feels most personally to me, just because that’s a constant battle with me just raising thoughts of a mind that wanders a little bit.”

The reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year has three GRAMMY Award nominations, including Best Country Song (“White Horse”), Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Duo/Group Performance as a featured performer on Carly Pearce’s “We Don’t Fight Anymore.” The 2024 Grammy Awards will air live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 4th on CBS and streaming live on Paramount+.

You can catch Chris on the road when he launches his 2024 All-American Road Show Tour  March 2nd in San Diego, California. The trek will feature rotating special guests Sheryl Crow, The War And Treaty, Elle King, Lainey Wilson, Willie Nelson and Family, Grace Potter, Marty Stuart, Turnpike Troubadours, Nikki Lane and Marcus King.
