With song like "These Boots" and "Pledge Allegiance To The Hag," Eric Church clearly aligns himself with the honky-tonk Bakersfield Sound school of country music, and his rustic twang of a voice is similarly pure country. There are several commercial Nashville touches to this debut as well, like the hip-hop-inspired drum loop that powers the opening track "Before She Does" and the Big 'N' Rich country-rock of the first single "How 'Bout You." Overall, however, Church's heart is in the roadhouse, not the strip mall. |

Artist Overview
North Carolinan country artist Eric Church first made an impact in Nashville as a songwriter for other singers. Terri Clark had a hit in 2004 with Church's composition "The World Needs a Drink," and a number of other artists cut his songs before Church finally scored a record deal of his own. His 2006 debut album, SINNERS LIKE ME, revealed a songwriter with a sharp wit, and a singer with a rough-and-rowdy style bearing a bit of Outlaw country influence. A touch of rock & roll in his sound helped Church score high on both the pop and country charts with the album, and three years later the follow-up, CAROLINA, did even better.

Rolling Stone (p.124)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This nasally North Carolinian's debut could be the literary country album of the year."
