Another excellent effort from Chris Stapleton. This one's impressively concise, clocking in at only half the length of his previous album, but it manages to be equally satisfying. Bring on Volume 2.

I work with someone who had went to a Chris Stapleton concert recently and she suggested I check him out, claiming he was that type of "no frills, no bullshit country that has an old-timey feel to it." I must say, I'm glad I decided to listen to her, because From A Room: Volume 1 is pretty much exactly how she described it, and as such is quite good. It's a bit short, and there's one eye-roller in "Them Stems", but on the whole this is some highly enjoyable, catchy, and sometimes gorgeous country. It's got some sublime backing vocals as well, courtesy of Chris' wife Morgane, although Chris' voice cannot stay without mention, as they are quite dynamic and pretty powerful at times ("Either Way" and "I Was Wrong", my goodness). However, the song that sets the stage is "Broken Halos", an opener that showcases everything there is to love about this record to their fullest extent. So, if you're into that type of "no frills, no bullshit country that has an old-timey feel to it", you can't go wrong here.

this album might be short but pretty much every song here is absolutely high-quality and screams for being repeated over and over again. it doesn't have anything original going for it but it's competently made, and that's what matters. 4+
