Superstar Maren Morris has revealed Humble Quest: In Rare Form. The project features seven stripped-back versions of tracks from her critically acclaimed record Humble Quest, including videos directed by Nicki Fletcher and Mason Allen.

Morris and her band self-produced the collection, which was recorded during a tour break at her bandmate Bennett Lewis’ summer camp, Camp Wayfarer, in Flat Rock, North Carolina.

Released in March via Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Nashville, Humble Quest debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, and broke the record for most first-day and first-week streams globally on Amazon Music for a country album by a female artist. The album features Gold-certified single “Circles Around This Town,” and is nominated for Album Of The Year at this year’s CMA Awards.

“In Rare Form came as an idea to me near the end of my tour when my band and I had worked so hard every show to find new moments to make each performance magical and unique,” Morris says. “We were able to reimagine the songs of Humble Quest in this very stripped, beautiful form at sunset on a hill in North Carolina. No lighting, no bells and whistles, just Mother Nature, music, and friendship.”

Her North American headlining “Humble Quest Tour,” which included stops at The Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and other legendary venues, will conclude with her biggest ever Nashville show at the Bridgestone Arena on Dec. 2.

Tyler Hubbard has revealed the cover, track listing and title of his debut solo album.

The 18-song, self-titled collection, due out Jan. 27 on EMI Records Nashville, was produced by Hubbard and Jordan Schmidt. Hubbard co-wrote all of the project’s tracks with some of Nashville’s best, including Ross Copperman, Thomas Rhett, Jaren Johnston, Trevor Rosen, Jesse Frasure, Keith Urban, Corey Crowder, and many more.

The full-length album features Hubbard’s hit debut single “5 Foot 9,” which currently sits at No. 2 at radio and has almost 190 milion global streams. It also includes additional tracks Hubbard has been playing live while on tour this fall.

“I know the importance and the value of this first album and really setting the foundation for what’s to come down the road,” says Hubbard. “I’m really proud of this music, and first and foremost excited for everyone to get to know me.”

Hubbard will be a presenter on the 56th Annual CMA Awards, airing Nov. 9, and will also make his Grand Ole Opry debut as a solo artist on Friday, Nov. 11.

Country mainstay Darius Rucker announced he will release a new album in an interview with Today‘s Craig Melvin. The album, planned for 2023, is called Carolyn’s Boy after his late mother. The album art is a portrait of her.

“I wanted to name the record Carolyn’s Boy because Mom never got to see any of my success,” Rucker offered in the interview. “She died before any of this happened, so it’s just another homage to the greatest woman I’ve ever known.”

When asked why he wanted to put this album out now, Rucker shared, “Years ago, I wasn’t really sure what my place in country music was and I was trying to find it. Now I have found it—I know—and I think it’s time to give that record.”

Carolyn’s Boy will follow Rucker’s 2017 project When Was the Last Time, which included hits “If I Told You” and “For the First Time.” Tastes of the new project can be heard on his recent releases “Same Beer Different Problem” and “Ol’ Church Hymn” (featuring Chapel Hart), available everywhere now.

Rucker’s Today show appearance also commemorated his tenth year as a Grand Ole Opry member and his recent achievement of “Wagon Wheel” becoming only the fourth country song to be certified Diamond. Music Row came together last week to celebrate the 11x-Platinum classic, as well as Rucker’s recent tenth No. 1 single at country radio, “Beers And Sunshine.”

“Coming into Nashville, to expect anything like that wasn’t even in the cards,” Rucker said. “Here we are now—15, 16, years in—it’s been a fun run.”
