From this Friday (April 16th) through next Friday (April 23rd) Eric Church will release three new albums. The country music-singer songwriter decided to “shake things” up with this new musical project Heart & Soul.

I cannot think of another time in country music  history where an artist released three new albums in an eight day period. The first album called Heart will drop this Friday (4/16). The next album titled & will be available exclusively to Eric Church fan club members (the Church Choir) Tuesday (4/20). The third and final album of the project called Soul will drop next Friday (4/23).

Eric explains he also had to “shake it up” when it came to the recording process for this three-album project.

“I think that by going to North Carolina and by leaving the environment, leaving Jay’s studio environment, leaving my environment, leaving the band’s environment, leaving the songwriter’s environment that we just we made something that was uncomfortable and unique and new. And that’s kind of what – that’s where creativity thrives, at least for this record, God, it was so refreshing. And I think that you sometimes have to kind of shake it up a little bit to find where you’re supposed to go next.”

Eric’s current single “Hell Of A View” is included on the track list for next Friday’s new album Heart. Listen for the song on Bloomington-Normal’s #1 Country, B104.

What have you done differently than has been done before just to shake things up? Did it work better that way?
