Background and release
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]
