re: Eric Church releasing a 28-song project this year

Don't remember if it was the Super Bowl or what, but he played some big sporting event a few years back. That was possibly the worst half-time show I've seen, and there's a lot of stiff competition to earn that designation. If that was any indication of what his albums are like, yeah, every downvote is earned.

His problem is he tries to play both sides. His first two albums, Sinners Like Me and Carolina, are much closer to an authentic country/rock mix. Then he realized he can make a shite ton more money by writing bro-country songs.

So now, he kind of does both. Desperate Man, Knives of New Orleans, Chattanooga Lucy, Heart Like a Wheel, and Record Year are some great authentic songs. Meanwhile, Drink in my Hand, Bad Mother Trucker, Homeboy, These Boots, and shite like that is just shite he does to make money. Check out his old stuff and you can tell he prefers real country music.
