Shoulda Been a Hit: Eric Church's "How Bout You" [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 17:51:57 +0000

Now it's hard to imagine a time when Eric Church wasn't having hits. But, in the beginning of his career, he struggled . . . really struggled . . . to reach the Top 10. Truly, I thought (and Dave Spencer thought as well) that Eric was destined for greatness way back in 2006 when he released his first single, "How Bout You." While its showing was respectable, the song fell short of expectations and reached #14 on the Billboard Country Chart. However, I thought then . . . and still think to this day . . . it SHOULDA been a hit! Check out this live version.

Are Glasses a Trademark Look for Country Singers? [VIDEO]

WBKR Radio — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 14:00:30 +0000

Country singers like John Conlee who wore rose-colored glasses on stage made him a household name. Hank Williams Jr. pretty much has to wear glasses after his terrible mountain fall back in the 70's, but it made a trademark look for him with his cowboy hat, beard & dark sunglasses. And today Eric Church wears sunglasses on stage as well. So I guess it works to portray the image these singers want and sometimes it works out pretty well for them!

egrant — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 06:00:22 +0000

Eric Church is taking a break, but for a whole year? Here's Taste of Country's Cory Stomblad with more.

As the summer months fades away and cooler weather signals the closure of another year, Eric Church is already plotting his next move for the new year. Though many artists try to remain in the spotlight during a high in their career, a well-deserved break from the demands of being a superstar is in the works for one of the hardest working men in country music.

Eric Church Gets Special Note From Bruce Springsteen Himself

egrant — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 06:00:04 +0000

Well, this had to happen sooner or later. Eric Church finally heard from The Boss himself. Here's Taste of Country's Megan Pacella with more.

Eric Church‘s hit song, ‘Springsteen’ borrows the name of the New Jersey rock and roll star, but the tune isn’t exactly about Bruce Springsteen, per se. If you’ve listened — and we know you have — you know that ‘Springsteen’ is more about nostalgia and good memories than it is about the Boss himself. But that doesn’t mean that the iconic rocker doesn’t have an opinion about the song which bears his name. In fact, he likes it so much that he sent Church a handwritten note.

Eric Church Takes 'Springsteen' to No. 1

Alanna Conaway — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 13:30:04 +0000

This year will most definitely be one that Eric Church remembers for the rest of his life. In January, the singer scored his very first No. 1 single with ‘Drink in My Hand,’ and now he has returned to the top with his current hit, ‘Springsteen.’ The tune sits at No. 1 on both the Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts this week, making it the singer’s second consecutive chart-topping song.
