Darius Rucker has joined with Great American Country (GAC) for the special Darius Rucker: The Story of True Believers, where the singer discusses his songwriting process with fans. The special features Rucker and each of the co-writers from his successful new album True Believers.
“This record is so much my life,” says Rucker. “Either the life I’m living now or the life I have lived or the life I want to live.”
The special will premiere on Thursday, June 20 at 9 p.m. CST. It will feature several songwriters, including Frank Rogers (“Miss You”), Dallas Davidson and Rhett Akins (“Heartbreak Road”), Bob DiPiero (“Lie To Me”), Phillip White and Mark Nessler (“Lost In You”) and Josh Kear (“True Believers,” “I Will Love You Still”). Rucker will perform “I Will Love You Still” alongside singer Mallary Hope. The special’s finale features all of the songwriters singing Rucker’s hit “Wagon Wheel,” written by Bob Dylan and Ketch Secor.
“When we were playing and I was looking around, I couldn’t count the No. 1s from the guys that were on that stage and it was just deep to realize that all those guys took their time to write with me,” says Rucker.
