Eric Church strikes Gold
"It's always been my goal to make records that are a complete body of work and not just random songs strung together - personally, I still love to put on a record and let it play top to bottom," Church said. "It is a dream come true that 'Carolina' is now a gold record, and it is proof there are still people out there who think about music the same way I do. I owe this to every fan that told someone about this record, and to them I say 'thank you.'"
The CD features hits Smoke A Little Smoke and Love Your Love The Most, which have both also been certified Gold, having sold more than 500,000 digital copies each.
Church will release his third studio album, "Chief," on July 26 on EMI Records. Homeboy is the first single from the upcoming release, and it is his fastest-climbing radio single to-date currently at 21 on Country Billboard.

Church continues to write memorable songs in a wide variety of styles, and even when he's not singing over country musical elements, his lyrical voice is always undeniably a country one.
He also knows how to have a little fun, especially with "Hanging Around," a soulful, funky tune mixing together ...
When listeners were introduced to Eric Church on his debut, they heard an artist who could balance strong song writing with a bit of a rebellious edge to the music. The surprise release of his latest continues that tradition, being quietly released to his fan club before even being officially announced. The music, written and recorded over a short period of time with an unheard of fast turnaround, has a raw edge that bridges the gap between radio friendly country music with the more rugged sound ...
Eric Church looks to take no prisoners on his big and bold - sometimes very dark - sounding fourth studio release. He makes that crystal clear on the cover where he stands flanked by his backing quintet, looking tough, menacing, ready for a rumble with arms hanging down, hiding behind sunglasses. These guys are ready to roll.
As in rock and roll, which Church et al cook up with the lead-off title track, an out-and-out rocker with Church laying down his outside the lines credentials. ...
