Country megastar Eric Church operates in threes. Hat, sunglasses, and stubble are his distinctive on-stage accoutrements. Blood, sweat, and beers are not only a lifestyle for the devout Church-goers who come to his concerts, but the name of his record-breaking arena tour. Chief, his recent platinum album, is his third studio output. Church seamlessly weaves country-fried rowdiness with a self-aware, smirking wit, and is just as comfortable penning chart-toppers like the emotive ode to youth “Springsteen,” as he is with the raucous “Drink In My Hand.”
