What is this board’s opinion on Eric Church?

his older stuff is pretty good. not too sure about anything recent.

I'm a fan. I lean way more toward Red Dirt/Texas Country, but he is one of my faves out of Nashville.

Imagine there's a line

Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia line reside on the far left and Colter Wall is on the far right. The underlined section is where I'd put Eric Church. I like him, but some of his stuff very much flirts with pop bullshite

Speaking of Colter Wall, I assume most here are familiar with country and know who he is, but if not go ahead and give the brewery sessions a listen

he sucks

Why's he got to wear the sunglasses on stage all the time? cmon man.

I like his first couple albums but then he seemed to try to be someone he was not, flirted with pop country, then heavy country with thick bass lines, then back to traditional country, then gave that terrible rolling stone interview.

He's like tim McGraw and toby keith. For every 1 good song he puts out, he'll put out 2 wtf were you thinking songs.

Does anybody know how much of his stuff that he writes himself?

Pretty sure he writes/co-writes most his stuff. I think his Mr Misunderstood album was written by him in like a month and released.

I can listen to his albums beginning to end, and some of his better stuff never gets cut as a single IMO. Drowning Man off his last album being one example.
