My apologies for being unable to write the “Biggest Albums of March 2021” round up. I’ve spent lockdown changing career paths and my law exams made that column an impossibility. Not to worry, rather than simple rolling on to April, 411 is back with a bumper round-up of the biggest name and most intriguing releases from March and April. Lana Del Rey – Chemtrails Over The Country Club (Pop) Norman Fucking Rockwell could not be topped. The bad-boy, West Coast, American Dream overdosing on ...

23 April 2021 It’s unclear why Eric Church decided to put out 24 songs on three albums, two full-length and one extended play, over the span of a week instead of one tight single LP. I wish I could say that it was because the material was uniformly excellent and there was nowhere to cut, but that’s not the case. There is plenty of dross on the two main projects. Heart and Soul are both nine tracks each and are each only about half full of good cuts. I haven’t heard the middle record cal...

Rolling Stone Menu Eric Church Makes It a Triple With ‘Heart & Soul’ The Nashville maverick delivers his biggest, boldest statement with a three album set By Joe Pugliese* Eric Church might look like a tough-guy outlaw who plays by his own rules, but his real gift has been for bending the rules to his will. No recent country artist has maneuvered the Nashville system as successfully, remaining dedicated to the power of down-the-center hitmaking even as he’s helped expand...

 

 

Heart & Soul, and celebrated big during his iHeartCountry Album Release Party. During the virtual show, hosted by Bobby Bones, Church performed several songs from his new project, including "Jenny," "Heart On Fire," "Hell Of A View" and "Through My Ray-Bans." The country star also listened along to some more songs from the album, with several lucky fans joining him via Zoom, including "Stick That In Your Country Song," "Never Break Heart," "Crazyland," "Russian Roulette," "Kiss Her Goodbye," "L...

  While I haven’t had a chance to listen to every single track just yet, my early impression is that it’s more prime music from Church. Everyone who listens to Eric Church knows he’s not your everyday traditional country singer. He’s got a serious edge to him, and he embraces it.     In many ways, he’s a throwback to the rebels of country music from back in the day. “Soul” is a great reminder of that fact. “Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones,” “Bad Mother Trucker,” “Break It Kind o...

In the clip, Church explains that he was watching Rocketman with his wife one night, and one of the scenes in the movie gave him the idea for his song "Rock & Roll Found Me" from Soul. He recalled: "This whole project, I got to a place, creatively, that I had never been to before. I would define it as, not stable, but somebody like my wife who was a former publisher that worked with songwriters, she loved it because you get to see whats coming in, but it was almost like a manic ... So if you ...

Heart & Soul album, but in many ways, its the signature song from the new triple album. The tender acoustic ballad from Soul isnt the best song of the 24, nor is it the most original. Church and his songwriting team are rarely straightforward on this dynamic collection of love, love lost and freedom songs — but here, the entire vocal arrangement works to contrast his more angsty, melancholy lashings with the refreshing buoyancy he sprinkles throughout the trilogy. A Church-ian song structur...
