Background
[edit | edit source]News about Rucker's working on his fourth country release was first announced in August 2014. Sixty songs were written for the album then with twelve to fifteen of them being cut for the record. Once again Rucker worked with record producer, Frank Rogers on the album. On working with Rogers, Rucker says, "I can't go in to record with the attitude that I want to sound different. It's all about the songs for me. I want great songs. And if we have great songs, then Frank is the genius and does what he does."[2] When Rucker was visiting The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 12, 2015, he announced that his new album would be called Southern Style, as well as the release date, and tour to support the album.[3]
