Darius Rucker Releases New Song "If I Told You"

Capitol Records Nashville recording artist Darius Rucker has released his brand new single, “If I Told You.” Written by Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally and Jon Nite, the new track is the first release from his upcoming studio album, and is available for purchase now.

“I always tell people, the first time I heard [the Black Crowes’] ‘She Talks To Angels,’ those lyrics did something to me. I probably requested that song eight times at different bars in Columbia, S.C. before going home, putting on Bonnie Raitt’s Home Plate, and trying to write ‘She Talks To Angels’ for Bonnie Raitt. ‘Let Her Cry’ just poured out,” shares Rucker. “For me, ‘If I Told You,’ inspired me like ‘Angels’ as it’s not a song I wrote, but as a songwriter I would not change a line as it moves me to want to not only sing along but also as a songwriter it inspires a new perspective.”

“If I Told You” marks a new chapter for Rucker. This serves as his first project with producer Ross Copperman, as well as his first time working with songwriters Jon Nite and Shane McAnally.

“What I love about each album is the opportunity to expand on what we’ve done in the past—to push myself and the band creatively, vocally and lyrically,” adds Rucker. “At the end of the day, I’m a fan of great stories and great songs. With ‘Wagon Wheel’ I loved the visual it painted and it’s a song I can truly say I look forward to performing every night. With ‘If I Told You,’ I can’t wait to share in that vulnerability with the fans from the stage night-after-night.”

Darius Rucker is currently out on the road on his Good For A Good Time Tour where you can be certain to hear “If I Told You.” For a full list of tour dates, please see below or visit dariusrucker.com/shows.
