Eric Church’s Latest #1 Almost Didn’t Make The Album

Eric Church's "Some Of It" has topped the country charts this week; oddly enough, the song almost didn't even make his latest album Desperate Man.

Eric says, “I was playing the album for a dear friend of ours and my wife was with me. This person loved the album, but my wife said, ‘But let me play you what did not make it,’ and the first thing she played was ‘Some Of It.’ It was always a favorite song of mine, and I listened to it that night and it is just… I am going to regret if I do not record this song."

Church continues, "I called my manager that night and said, ‘Hey we have got to talk.’ The recording was done, the record was essentially done, but I said, ‘I have got to do this, I have to add this song.’ Initially, all the stuff that I thought was going to be the pillars for this album just bombed. But I think it’s really interesting that the album took on an identity that allowed ‘Some Of It’ to make it from where it started to where it is now, and it just fit in the dialogue. To me, it made the album. I loved the album before it was on there - but it might be my favorite album now that it’s on there, so that’s the way I look at it.”

Eric is currently taking some down tie with his family. He gets back on his "Double Down Tour" in September.
