In 2012, Rucker released a new album and new single, both titled “True Believers”. He released a second single off the album, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Wagon Wheel” which also hit number one on the charts. Rucker appeared again at The Grand Ole Opry, and was invited to become a member of the Opry by Brad Paisley.
