Ben Chapman’s fourth studio album, 'Feet on Fire,' marks a turning point in his career—both artistically and personally. Released in 2026, the 12-track record blends country, Southern rock, folk, blues, and funk into what producer Dave Cobb describes as 'American music.' For Chapman, the album is deeply tied to major life events: learning he would become a father, marrying his longtime partner and co-writer Meg McCree, and finding renewed focus in his songwriting. He calls it the 'George record,' named after his newborn son.

Unlike his earlier work, 'Feet on Fire' captures the high-energy live experience fans have long praised but previous recordings missed. The album is intentionally sequenced, with Side A delivering serious, purposeful songs and Side B reflecting the band’s explosive stage presence. Tracks like 'Baby Blue' and 'Don’t Give It All Away' reveal emotional depth and storytelling range, drawing from real-life anxieties and imagined narratives alike.

Chapman, now 28, has been writing music since his teens and moved to Nashville at 21. He and McCree also write songs professionally for other artists, a day job that’s sharpened his craft. Working with mentors like Anderson East and drawing inspiration from legends like The Allman Brothers and Guy Clark, Chapman has developed a sound that resists easy genre labels. Vinyl remains his preferred format, and he designs albums to be heard start to finish—something increasingly rare in the age of singles.
