Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Nashville institution Chris Stapleton followed his 2015 breakthrough with two new albums this year. They showcase his omnivorous approach to country music in all its dignified melancholy.
-
Plugged In
Room A follows his enormously successful solo debut, 2015's Traveller, and it shares much of that album's musical DNA.
-
Variety
Chris Stapleton’s “From A Room: Volume 1” is not in any literal sense a Willie Nelson tribute record, but at times it sure feels like one.
-
Consequence of Sound
The country outlaw adds a much-needed layer of grit and spit to Nashville.
-
Sputnik Music
A quick dose of the best that modern country has to offer.
-
Paste Magazine
From a Room, Vol. 1 — the first of two full-length albums the hirsute Kentuckian plans to release this year — showcases all of the good qualities that propelled Stapleton into the spotlight and solidifies his place at the forefront of current male country artists.
-
Pop Matters
Although this album likely won't sweep the CMAs as Traveller did, its refined craftsmanship hammers home Stapleton's abilities as a singer and songwriter.

All Music
As good as each of these songs is individually -- and there isn't a bad song in the bunch -- what's best about From A Room: Volume 1 is how it holds together.
-
Uncut
Nashville's latest crossover star makes a winning return.
-
Spectrum Culture
Stapleton is one of the best, most intriguing performers working in country music today.
-
Rolling Stone
Thankfully, the follow-up to Traveller is a taut, nine-song LP geared mainly toward spotlighting those remarkable pipes, with scant pandering to mainstream country radio.
