Keith Urban on Eric Church: ‘He’s Non-Categorizable’

Eric Church celebrated the success of his latest chart-topper "Some Of It" at a party in Nashville this week. At the party, many fellow songwriters and artists spoke of Church's talent.

Keith Urban said, “The thing I’ve always admired about Eric is the truth in his calling… He’s non-categorizable. Record to record, he’s gonna infuse whatever is speaking to him at any given time into what he’s doing, but his narrative as a writer and his voice is the through-line for me. Everything I hear of his, that rock-steady Northern Star that connects all the different experiments that he has in record making is great songs… They should all go number one, Eric.”

Eric himself said from the party stage, “My intention was to try to make great music, write great songs. And to see it matter is something.  I’m not done. I’m not retiring. I’m not dying, so I appreciate that. I appreciate that very much, and I look forward to kicking their asses every night on stage.”
