The Beginning

Kenneth Eric Church was born in Granite Falls, North Carolina, on May 3, 1977. He began writing songs and playing the guitar when he was thirteen years old. A gifted performer, Church played regular gigs at a bar during his high school days. Soon he gained popularity and was offered a record deal while still in his teens. However he turned it down to finish high school and later went on to study at the Appalachian State University. He still took out time for music and performed as part of a group called Mountain Boys.

Following his graduation, Church moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music. Initially he worked as a songwriter until he signed a contract with a record label in 2006. Church’s debut music album titled ‘Sinners Like Me’ came out the same year. Comprising songs such as ‘Guys Like Me’ and ‘Two Pink Lines,’ the record reached the Top 10 on the US Top Country Albums chart.

Breakthrough  

The release of Eric Church’s second studio album ‘Carolina’ in 2009 can be termed as a watershed moment in his music career. It was with this record that the singer made a strong presence in the country music world. Chart-topping songs such as Love Your Love the Most, Smoke a Little Smoke and Hell on the Heart developed a cult following for the country crooner. His soaring popularity sold out live shows, further cementing his place in the music industry.  

‘Carolina’ also received favorable reviews by the music critics. A review by AllMusic read that the album’s sound was reminiscent of the outlaw country movement of the 1970s. It had strong lyrics and was “masterfully tempered with Southern baked rock.”

Discography

Eric Church’s third studio album ‘Chief’ was an even bigger success. Released via EMI Nashville in July of 2011, the album produced five singles, two of which were the first number one hits of the singer’s career – the nostalgic ‘Springsteen’ and the up-tempo ‘Drink in My Hand.’ Besides ruling the music charts, the album won Church a number of honors. These include the Country Music Association Award for Album of the Year and a Grammy Nomination for Best Country Album.

Church continued to treat his fans with his distinctive fusion of country and rock in his next studio effort, ‘The Outsiders.’ The album debuted at the top spot on the Top Country Albums chart and the Billboard 200. Its first week sales exceeded 280,000 copies. The highlight of the record was the song ‘Give Me Back My Hometown’, which went on to receive two nominations at the Country Music Awards.

‘The Outsiders’ was the bestselling country music album of 2014 in the US.

Eric Church’s most recent record to hit the shelves is ‘Mr. Misunderstood.’ Released in 2015, the album’s sound is a blend of a variety of music genres. It has been compared with the music of Stevie Wonder and The Allman Brothers Band. Comprising songs such as ‘Mistress Named Music’ and ‘Knives of New Orleans,’ the album was highly praised by fans and critics alike. As of October 2017, ‘Mr. Misunderstood’ has sold 558,000 copies in the US alone.
