Eric Church Soul LP

2020 CMA Entertainer of the Year Eric Church's Heart & Soul collection, a trio of albums, was written and recorded during 28 days in the mountains of North Carolina. Soul is the third volume in the collection, released on April 23, 2021.

Each record [of the Heart & Soul series] ambles along at an easy pace, with the songs played with precision and soul, the ambition only apparent in the cumulative heft of the set; individual songs are sharply crafted yet unassuming in their reach. This modesty may be more palatable as a collection of three records than as one long set, as the succinct running times helps keep the focus on the songs, which stand on their own merits better than they do as a collection. Standing apart from the greater Heart & Soul, Soul is a relaxed good time, the kind of record to spin during a long lazy sunset.
