Casey Beathard had written that song and I first played it laying back on my bed for a guitar vocal. I tried to play it the same way a thousand times after that, but there\u2019s a way that song develops that we never could recapture \u2013 something about relaxing and laying back; there\u2019s a lope to that song. I started to worry about the soul going away the more we tried, so Jay Joyce said, \u2018let\u2019s let Brian Sutton have a shot at it.\u2019 We let him hear it one time and then he was feeling it as we went. There\u2019s some extra pauses and spaces in the back of the recording as he figured it out \u2013 I think that\u2019s what makes that song. It\u2019s compelling and that\u2019s a lot to do with Brian and Jay.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"610\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LZOH-_uLLjI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eric Church is currently working on a North American tour.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":13113,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[3337],"tags":[3612,5127,5166,652],"class_list":["post-13104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-eric-church","tag-heart-soul","tag-lynyrd-skynyrd-jones","tag-tour"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-22 18:29:57","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/chok.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2021\/02\/eric-church-working-on-tour\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
