“Southern Comfort” is the latest taste of the forthcoming new album

Three-time Grammy Award-winner Darius Rucker is once again captivating audiences as he further previews his highly anticipated new album, Carolyn’s Boy, with the release of the feel-good song “Southern Comfort.”

Written by Chris LaCorte (“Ain’t That Some,” “Blue Tacoma”), Matt Rogers (“‘Til You Can’t,” “Freedom Was a Highway”) and Josh Osborne (“Never Wanted to Be That Girl,” “Body Like a Back Road”), the heartfelt homage to the south captures the essence of a region deeply rooted in tradition, hospitality and the joy of shared moments:

“That gentle breeze makes me think I’m three sheets to the wind / When the fireflies light me up right makes the whole world spin / If sunsets were like whiskey, man, I’d be seeing double / Ain’t nothing in this bottle gets me drunk as Southern Comfort.”

The release joins current single “Fires Don’t Start Themselves” as well as No. 1 hit “Beers And Sunshine,” recent release “Have A Good Time” in previewing his first solo project in six years, Carolyn’s Boy, named for his late mother as an “homage to the greatest woman I’ve ever known.” The album will be available on October 6th via EMI Nashville.

Having shared the new music with fans across the country all summer on his Starting Fires Tour, Rucker is gearing up to take his wide-ranging catalog of hits across the pond with a recently announced run of European tour dates in early 2024.

Rucker will also celebrate the release of his new album during the second year of his personally curated Riverfront Revival Music Festival set for October 7th and 8th in his hometown of Charleston, S.C. In addition to Rucker himself, fans will be treated to performances by Turnpike Troubadours, Lainey Wilson, Band of Horses and more.
