Eric Church Up For Two Grammy Awards

Eric Church has two nominations at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 26th, including Best Country Album for Desperate Man and Best Country Song for his recent Number One hit, “Some Of It.”

The song was co-written by Eric, but it wasn’t originally intended to make his Desperate Man album.

It wasn’t until Eric’s wife played the song for a friend of theirs that he realized the album wasn’t complete without it.

“It was such a blessing that happened. It wasn’t going to be on the album. It was just one of those freak things that I put it on the album, the last song on the album. The album was done, and all of a sudden it becomes the pillar, one of the pillars on the album. I think it’s one of the great things about music is you just never know what’s going to happen until it’s all said and done. You can try to plan all you want to, but you’ll probably not going to figure it out.”

The 62nd Grammy Awards will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday at 8 p.m. on CBS.
