Don’t Worry the forthcoming LP from troubadour Chris Staples, was recorded and produced in a small studio behind his house in Richmond. Bringing in friends from across state lines like Kyle Crane (on drums), Alan Parker (whose pedal steel holds us close across several of the record’s songs), Daniel Walker (providing piano, most notably for the record’s clearest moment of autobiography in “Talk About Your Day”), and Kylie Dailey (whose harmony on the title track reminds us that we’re not in this alone), this is a collective effort and small reminder that despite the chaos of the world, we are persisting in the small, still moments of everyday life.

From Chris Staples:”

Recording “Doesn’t Matter Now” was fun because some great friends played on it. Kyle Crane recorded drums who plays with a lot of great people (Fiona Apple + Rufus Wainwright) and Alan Parker played pedal steel and guitar. They are such great players which elevated the song so much.

“Doesn’t Matter Now” is a song about growing up in 90’s and remembering times that you were emotionally immature. Also, just looking back on your old self with a healthy dose of compassion.
