Description
One of musics most electrifying entertainers and prolific songwriters, Eric Church returns with his fourth studio album, The Outsiders, home to his latest hit single, Give Me Back My Hometown. Debuting at the No. 1 spot on both the Billboard Top 200 and the Billboard Top Country Album charts, The Outsiders follows-up Churchs Platinum-certified album Chief, (named the 2012 Album of the Year by both CMA and ACM, and Grammy-nominated for Best Country Album) which featured the two No. 1 hits Drink in My Hand and Springsteen and three additional Top 20 singles Homeboy, Like Jesus Does and Creepin’.
Longtime collaborator Jay Joyce once again joined Church for production duties on The Outsiders. Eric says he made a conscious effort to challenge himself on this new project, We were at a point in our career where I understand that we had two choices. I couldve continued to do what Drink in My Hand, Springsteen, Creepin, I know how to do those things. I know how to continue the career that way. I think we made a conscious effort to challenge ourselves artistically and to do something…that was artistic. Thats what we did…Thats what we chose on this album. We made it that way.
Eric Church is working on a level that few other country artists of his generation can touch. Shrewd, defiant, sly and funny, Eric Church has succeeded in what he set out to do: Hes using the power hes accrued from making hit records to make exactly the kind of album he wants, heedless of industry approval.” – Ken Tucker, NPR Music
