Editorial Reviews

Eric Church's sophomore album, Carolina, is the follow-up release to his critically acclaimed 2006 release Sinners Like Me. Comparing the two albums, Church describes Carolina as a much more diverse project, more musical and a little brighter in content. The lead single "Love Your Love The Most" presents Eric's brighter side to country fans with memorable lyrics and a smooth melody.

"Carolina is an album. So was Sinners. Most artists make singles and hope they end up with a record. I prefer to make a record and hope I have singles. I love country music, and I am very reverent of the time that I have to make records. That's what we owe the industry, the format, and the fans. We owe them a great record."

Fans will have the opportunity to see Eric on tour this spring on the "Young & Wild Tour," reaching 37 cities across the country.

"I try to go out there on the road and be an ambassador for it, because I love country music so much, and I want to treat it right."

5.0 out of 5 stars An album that makes you want to hear it again. March 25, 2009

By CharlieG

First, let me say I am not a big fan of country. I discovered Eric Church when I attended Bob Seger's "Face The Promise concert in Atlanta.
Eric Church was the "opening act". What got my attention right off the bat was that his band could play rock and roll and they were great, but Eric's lyrics and vocal style got my attention. Hmmmm...great rock and roll with great lyrics delivered by a voice that just had magical clarity to it. The next day, I ordered "Sinners Like Me" and found myself listening to it over and over thinking to myself...."what's a classic rock fan doing listening to and enjoying COUNTRY?"

I downloaded "Carolina" from Amazon at 12:30 AM on it's release date and I've listened to it at least a couple of dozen times and it's only been out for a couple of days. Every song has something that will catch your musical ear. This is one of those rare albums that doesn't have a bad song on it. Five great rockers, five ballads, and two somewhere in between and all of the songs tell a story "Eric Church style".

"Those I've Loved" will haunt you and "Ain't Killed Me Yet" along with "Young and Wild" proves Eric "likes his country rockin"
"Hell on the Heart" and "Without You Here" are just great toe tappin' songs with hooks that will capture that "I need to hear that song again" feeling as your fingers hit the back button on your IPOD.

This is a pure country CD that will surprise you. It's good rock and roll mixed with country creating a magic sound that you've never heard before Eric Church

5.0 out of 5 stars Second done better.. March 24, 2009

By Christoph J. Shawlin

Format:Audio CD

I as a Country Music fan, thought that in no way, shape or form could "Sinners Like Me" be topped with a sophmore debut....I stand corrected! This Guy is not only a Mans, man, but has the soft side that guys can actually relate to. Honestly..I am not some follower or stalker of his music, but, I bought it along with John Rich's new cd..This is one talented son of a bi!@h. I would definately recommened this to any fan of Down Home country that is about life and love and growing up. Women will love this and Guys will relate and enjoy as well. Well written, and entertaining. Boots to fill and She told me where to go, awesome. Enjoy! Not too many Discs have this much Charisma!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best record of 2009 March 24, 2009

By Allbenny

This is in my opinion the best country record of the year so far. All of the songs, which he either wrote or co wrote, are all good songs. Alot of records out there nowadays have a decent song or two (ok maybe 3), but Eric Church has put out another album that is solid from start to finish.There is no filler material here. Your local country radio station may or may not be supporting this guy, but beat the bandwagon jumpers and pick up a copy now. If you get a chance to see him live, I highly recommend that as well, you won't be disappointed.
