Darius Rucker Enjoys Some ‘Southern Comfort’ On Latest Album Taster
The new track joins the existing album previews ‘Fires Don’t Start Themselves,’ ‘Have A Good Time,’ and ‘Beers And Sunshine.’
The latest taster for Darius Rucker’s impending new album Carolyn’s Boy is now available. “Southern Comfort” is a homage to the American south, written by Chris LaCorte, whose credits include “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 song captures the mood and the lifestyle of the southern states, with lyrics such as “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.”
Carolyn’s Boy, out on October 6 and named after Rucker’s mother, whom he calls “the greatest woman I’ve ever known,” the album has already been previewed with the current single “Fires Don’t Start Themselves,” the recent “Have A Good Time,” and the No.1 smash “Beers And Sunshine.”
