Darius Rucker To Release Fifth Studio Country Album ‘When Was The Last Time’

Darius Rucker will release his fifth studio country project, When Was The Last Time, on Friday, Oct. 20, via Capitol Records Nashville.

Rucker released the album’s second single, “For The First Time,” to country radio yesterday (July 24). It follows Rucker’s recent chart-topper “If I Told You,” which marks his eighth No. 1 country song since he debuted in 2008. “For The First Time” was penned with Derek George and Travis Hill.

The singer-songwriter, who worked with producer Frank Rogers on previous albums, made a shift for the new project by bringing in producer Ross Copperman for the new album.

“On top of being a genius with the equipment, Ross is so high-energy and funny; that kid is never not laughing,” Rucker said via a release. “Every time we were in the studio we had a great band who had great ideas of their own, so it was the farthest thing from tedious, but just, let’s get in and do it. I think for the whole record we spent just three days tracking music.”
