Background and release
[edit]
Ben Rector considers Into the Morning to be his first "real" album, as he considers the two albums prior to be indirectly focused efforts while he was still in college.[1] It was the first album where he began to "get in the groove as a songwriter", having focused his efforts more specifically toward the craft and writing music more frequently and with intention.[2] The album was produced by Rector and Chad Copelin.[2]
Into the Morning released on February 16, 2010. At the time he was a senior in college.[3] It was made free via NoiseTrade.[4] At a 2023 Q&A session during The Old Friends Acoustic Tour, Rector said Into the Morning was his favorite album to make when asked.[5]
