Here's what those 28 days look like.So here’s a fun question: what genre of music does Eric Church make? And, as a fan, you get to look at this and go 'Hey, here's 28 days.

'It was creatively like nothing I'd ever been through. I was writing all day, not sleeping at night. 'I got as far out as I can get, from a mental health standpoint. What was going through my head one day versus the next. These songs give listeners a '100 percent inside look' to the creative process, Church said, 'from the writing all the way through the recording.

In the chorus, Church howls: 'A turned up radio but the static was heavy/ Couldn’t make out any words but 'take me to the levee'/ That look on your face was full of wild desire/ Soakin’ my soul in gas and settin’ my heart on fire.' On Friday, he released 'Heart on Fire,' a blazing dose of heartland rock reverie fueled by backroad wanderlust. 'We reacted to what the music was and what the art was.' 'It was one of those things where the songs grouped themselves together,' Church said. The idea bridged 'Heart' and 'Soul' - represented by red and blue in the album artwork - with a purple ampersand. His manager, John Peets, suggested '&' as a stand-alone collection. More music news: Thad Cockrell almost quit his music career. That was everything we had.'Ĭhurch left North Carolina thinking he cut a double-album, except for a half-dozen songs that didn't fit his vision for 'Heart' or 'Soul.' There's nothing else - internally - by the time we got to the end of this thing. 'The best way ever worked for me in my career is to get as uncomfortable as you can get,' Church said, adding: 'I think the entire thing was everything I had to give. He approached the makeshift North Carolina sessions at a 'manic' pace, Church said. For four weeks, he would wake up, write, record a song and repeat. During sessions for 2018 album 'Desperate Man' in Nashville, Church said he and Joyce left a handful of songs of the table for the first time in the singer's career.

He plotted the rural mountainous retreat following a self-prescribed need to 'reevaluate' his studio process. He set up shop in an empty restaurant, enlisting tenured bandmates, longtime producer Jay Joyce and a rotating cast of Nashville collaborators. Last winter, prior to COVID-19 shutdowns, Church decamped to small-town Banner Elk, North Carolina, to write and record 'Heart & Soul' in 28 days. Church releases the project in three phases, with a six-song middle record - '&' - available exclusively to Church Choir fan club members. He confirmed 'Heart & Soul' later that day, rolling out a triple album tracklist and April release dates a week ahead of schedule. They ended up breaking the news, which is hilarious to me. 'We ended up getting hacked,' Church told The Tennessean, 'which is pretty awesome when you think about it. Word trickled through social media early Thursday - unofficially - that Church eyed April to release 'Heart & Soul,' a 24-song behemoth project teased for nearly a year via public appearances and a steady stream of new tunes. Hackers didn't unearth a new single, but instead found plans for the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year's most ambitious studio project to-date. Last week didn't go as planned for Eric Church.Īnticipating new music, Church's fervent listeners - known as the 'Church Choir' - scrounged his website last Thursday for an advance copy of a script to the singer's SirusXM 'Outsiders' show, he told The Tennessean.
