Darius Rucker releases his new song, “Fires Don’t Start Themselves,” on Friday morning (March 31st). The song, produced by Dann Huff, was written by Ben Hayslip, Dan Isbell and Jacob Rice.

When asked exactly what the song is about (wink-wink), he says with a grin, “it’s a song about that time when you’re sitting at home with your significant other or girlfriend or wife or boyfriend or husband or whatever, and you know it’s time. It’s time to get down to business. That’s what that song’s all about.”

He’s been putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming seventh solo album, which he recently revealedwill be called Carolyn’s Boy in honor of his late mother. Fans have gotten an early preview of the music via recent releases “Same Beer Different Problem” and “Ol’ Church Hymn” (featuring Chapel Hart), with additional new music expected soon.

Darius returns to the road this summer with 21 dates across the U.S. and Canada on his Starting Fires Tour, kicking off June 15th in Virginia. Joining the multi-time Diamond-certified star as direct support across most dates is popular Americana band Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, with rising star Drew Green as direct support on select dates.
