Ladies and gentlemen, grab your favorite festival drink and get ready to be rocked by Eric Church's electrifying fifth studio album, "Mr. Misunderstood," dropped into our hands in 2015! This is a masterclass in musical wizardry, mixing an exhilarating cocktail of country, rock, blues, folk, gospel, soul, funk, pop, and alternative rock. Church’s brilliant songwriting spills into each track, weaving tales that'll stick in your head long after the music fades.
With Jay Joyce at the production helm, "Mr. Misunderstood" offers a wall of sound with an inviting warmth and intimacy, like a musical campfire surrounded by festival-goers. The album features incredible guest appearances by the legendary Susan Tedeschi and powerhouse Joanna Cotten, ensuring each song has its own unique flavor. Get ready to be blown away by tracks like "Mr. Misunderstood," "Mistress Named Music," and "Kill a Word," which pulse with emotion and catchiness worth a thousand live sings-alongs.
In the grand mosaic of "Mr. Misunderstood," Eric Church proves yet again he's not just along for the ride—he's here to set the path on fire. This album is a carnival of styles and an epic storytelling journey, breaking through country music’s conventional barriers and expanding the horizons for all the wide-eyed, grinning fans out there. Crank it up, because this one’s a must-listen, folks! - Cody
