Church likes Drink In My Hand

Monday, January 16, 2012 – Eric Church kicks off the new year with a career first - Drink In My Hand is number one on the song charts this week.

Church takes over the number one slot from David Nail's Let It Rain. The new chart will be officially released Thursday.

The song comes from Church's disc "Chief," which won a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album of the Year. He is on his first arena headline tour - The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour.

"This is the 10th single we have released to radio," said Church. "It is truly the greatest example of belief, dedication, determination and plain old hard work that we have achieved this milestone. I can't thank the EMI staff and country radio enough for making this happen and believing in the music, but the real gratitude must go to our fans. I've heard countless stories from hundreds of fans of how they have gone above and beyond to get our songs heard and demand that people pay attention to what's going on in our world. I can't think of a better way to kick off a tour."

CD review - Mr. Misunderstood 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 ...
CD review - The Outsiders 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. ...
