Eric Churchâs relationship with his fans is undeniable, unconditional and often unconventional. And he delivers on that mission again with the release of live covers from his epic project 61 Days In Church.
The covers, which feature popular music by Soundgarden, Billy Joel, Little Feat, Bob Seger and more, is available Saturday, April 21 during Record Store Day. The musical milestone, released by EMI Nashville, is available on LP with 2,500 exclusive copies available to fans.
Church recorded the ambitious project in 2017 during his Holdinâ My Own Tour, which ran from January through May and was named a Tour of the Year by none other than Rolling Stone, which opined: âOver the years, Church concerts have always been parties. But in 2017, they went from merely ass-kicking to epic.â
During the 61-date tour, Church recorded 30 songs per night for a total of more than 200 hours of live music. The Record Store Day exclusive release is a selection of the very best cover songs from those shows (available only at participating record stores).
